Bitcoin\u2019s price actions became significantly more volatile yesterday when the asset neared $95,000 only to be rejected and driven south by several grand before staging a comeback.<\/p>\n

Several altcoins have posted some gains over the past day, including ETH, which has risen to $3,250, and BNB, which has tapped $920.<\/p>\n

BTC Goes Up and Down and Up<\/h2>\n

The start of the year brought some gains for the bulls as the primary cryptocurrency quickly erased some of the late December 2025 losses and reclaimed the $90,000 level on Friday. It reaffirmed its position above that line during the weekend, as even the attacks from the United States against Venezuela couldn\u2019t shake it up for long.<\/p>\n

The business week began with another rally that pushed bitcoin to $93,000 by late Monday. Hours later, the cryptocurrency tapped a multi-week peak of almost $95,000 as the bulls seemed in complete control.<\/p>\n

However, that changed<\/a> throughout the trading day, and BTC slumped below $91,500 at one point after another rejection at $94,500. More volatility ensued, with bitcoin jumping to $93,800, where it was stopped and now sits just inches below $93,000.<\/p>\n

Its market capitalization, though, has returned to $1.850 trillion. Its dominance over the altcoins has declined by over 1% in the past few weeks to 56.5% on CG.<\/p>\n

XRP Rejected, RAIN Pumps<\/h2>\n

Ripple\u2019s cross-border token was among the top performers yesterday, having surged<\/a> by double digits to a multi-month peak at just over $2.40 at one point. However, it was also stopped there and slipped to $2.20 before it found some relief at $2.28 as of now. ZEC, XLM, and SIU are also slightly in the red from the other larger-cap alts.<\/p>\n

In contrast, ETH has jumped to $2,500 after a 1% daily increase, while BNB is close to $920. SOL has tapped $140, while XMR is above $455. RAIN and M have marked the biggest gains over the past 24 hours.<\/p>\n

The total crypto market cap has lost around $25 billion since this time yesterday and is down to $3.275 trillion on CG.<\/p>\n
