Bitcoin\u2019s price rose to a multi-week high of its own yesterday when it briefly exceeded $65,500 on the heels of the lower-than-expected US CPI data. However, it was stopped there and now sits a grand and a half lower.<\/p>\n

ETH rode the wave even harder, jumping to roughly $1,950 for the first time since early June before it was halted and pushed south to under $1,900.<\/p>\n

BTC Back to $64K<\/h2>\n

The primary cryptocurrency had a relatively quiet and positive weekend in which it stood mostly at around $64,000. This came after a volatile business week in which it plunged a couple of times from that high to under $62,000 after Strategy announced its latest BTC sale and the tension in the Middle East escalated once again with new attacks.<\/p>\n

On Monday, though, bitcoin slipped once again as the markets priced in the new strikes between the US and Iran initiated<\/a> during the weekend. The cryptocurrency dipped below $62,000 by Tuesday morning but then rocketed<\/a> by several grand in a day or so after the US CPI data for June was a lot lower than expected.<\/p>\n

Bitcoin first reclaimed the $64,000 level before it did the same to $65,000 and peaked<\/a> at $65,600. After tapping this three-week high, though, it retreated by $1,500 and now sits at around $64,000 again.<\/p>\n

Its market cap is down to $1.285 trillion on CG, while its dominance over the alts remains at the same level at 56.7%.<\/p>\n

ETH Pulls Back<\/h2>\n

Ethereum stole the show from the larger-cap alts today, jumping<\/a> to almost $1,950 for the first time in six weeks. However, it was stopped there and now sits below $1,900. BNB is close to $580 after a minor increase, while XRP is fighting for $1.10 after a minor daily decline.<\/p>\n

SOL, TRX, HYPE, RAIN, ZEC, CC, LTC, and ADA are all in the red today, while BCH and DEXE have dumped the most from the larger caps. ONDO, in contrast, has rocketed by 17% to $0.37.<\/p>\n

The total crypto market cap has declined by $40 billion in a day from its peak and is down to $2.270 trillion on CG.<\/p>\n
