After a calm weekend in which BTC traded mostly sideways around $117,500, the asset dipped hard on Monday morning to an 11-day low of $115,000.<\/p>\n

The altcoins have followed suit as the market braces for more volatility, as there will be another meeting regarding a potential peace deal between Ukraine and Russia.<\/p>\n

BTC Slips to $115K<\/h2>\n

Last week began a lot better than the current one as the bulls pushed bitcoin from $118,000 to over $122,000 on Monday. Although the asset retraced on Tuesday, it picked up the pace once again on Wednesday and especially Thursday morning when it shot up to a new all-time high<\/a> of over $124,500.<\/p>\n

That price pump, albeit impressive on its own, was short-lived as BTC quickly dumped to $121,000 and then $118,000 as the US PPI data for July came hotter than expected. The next few days were somewhat sluggish<\/a> for bitcoin\u2019s price actions, even though Trump met with Putin to discuss a potential peace deal between Russia and Ukraine.<\/p>\n

Even the failure to strike a deal couldn\u2019t shake BTC as the asset spent the weekend trading sideways in a tight range between $117,000 and $118,000. On Monday morning, though, the cryptocurrency headed straight south<\/a> ahead of today\u2019s meeting<\/a> between Trump and Zelenskyy and dumped to an 11-day low of $115,000.<\/p>\n

It has defended<\/a> that level, but it\u2019s still over 2% down on the day. Its market cap has slipped to $2.3 trillion, while its dominance over the alts is close to 58% on CG.<\/p>\n

Alts in Retreat<\/h2>\n

Most altcoins have followed BTC on the way south with notable price declines. ETH has slipped below $4,300 after a 4.5% daily drop. XRP has dropped below the crucial $3.00 support level after a similar decrease. SOL, HYPE, XLM, SUI, ENA, PEPE, AAVE, MNT, NEAR, and ONDO have marked even more substantial declines.<\/p>\n

LINK and XMR are among the few exceptions with minor gains over the past 24 hours.<\/p>\n

However, the total crypto market cap has seen more than $100 billion leave over the past day, and the metric is down to $3.960 trillion on CG.<\/p>\n
