However, it couldn\u2019t continue further north despite both attempts.<\/p>\n<p>After another rejection and a dip below $90,000, BTC went on the run again at the end of the business week, but this time it was stopped at $93,600. What followed was another instant drop on Friday from over $92,000 to under $90,000 in minutes. It found support at $90,000 and spent most of the weekend trading above it.<\/p>\n<p>That floor gave in on Sunday evening when the bears drove bitcoin south to $87,600. It bounced off once again and now <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/altcoin-winners-and-losers-of-the-week-as-btcs-fight-for-90k-continues-weekend-watch\/\">stands close<\/a> to $90,000. This level has turned out to be quite significant in BTC\u2019s movements as of late, but there is likely to be more volatility in the week ahead due to <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/crypto-markets-brace-for-volatility-amid-massive-week-ahead-for-economic-data\/\">these important economic developments<\/a> in the US.<\/p>\n<p>For now, BTC\u2019s market cap remains below $1.8 trillion, while its dominance over the alts is still under 57% on CG.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1423274\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1423274\" style=\"width: 1835px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/BTCUSD-Dec-15.png\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1423274 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/BTCUSD-Dec-15.png\" alt=\"BTCUSD Dec 15\" width=\"1835\" height=\"909\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/BTCUSD-Dec-15.png 1835w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/BTCUSD-Dec-15-300x149.png 300w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/BTCUSD-Dec-15-1024x507.png 1024w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/BTCUSD-Dec-15-768x380.png 768w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/BTCUSD-Dec-15-1536x761.png 1536w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/BTCUSD-Dec-15-90x45.png 90w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/BTCUSD-Dec-15-150x74.png 150w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/BTCUSD-Dec-15-1600x793.png 1600w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/BTCUSD-Dec-15-1400x694.png 1400w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/BTCUSD-Dec-15-1200x594.png 1200w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/BTCUSD-Dec-15-1000x495.png 1000w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/BTCUSD-Dec-15-900x446.png 900w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/BTCUSD-Dec-15-800x396.png 800w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/BTCUSD-Dec-15-700x347.png 700w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/BTCUSD-Dec-15-600x297.png 600w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/BTCUSD-Dec-15-500x248.png 500w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/BTCUSD-Dec-15-400x198.png 400w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/BTCUSD-Dec-15-200x99.png 200w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/BTCUSD-Dec-15-100x50.png 100w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1835px) 100vw, 1835px\"><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1423274\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">BTCUSD Dec 15.
