BTC dropped immediately from $67,000 to $63,000 but rebounded within the day to $68,000 after reports that the Iranian Supreme Leader was <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/btc-touched-68k-after-khamenei-reported-death-xrp-surpasses-bnb-weekend-watch\/\">killed<\/a> during the attacks.<\/p>\n<p>The gains continued by the middle of the business week when bitcoin peaked at $74,000, a level not seen in a month. However, the bears stepped up at this moment and didn\u2019t allow for any further increases.<\/p>\n<p>Just the opposite; BTC <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/bitcoin-price-returns-to-70k-despite-growing-tension-in-the-middle-east-your-weekly-crypto-recap\/\">started to lose value<\/a> but dumped the most on Friday after a weak US jobs report and Trump\u2019s latest threats and remarks on Iran and Cuba. It <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/pi-networks-pi-taps-3-month-high-bitcoin-btc-fights-for-68k-weekend-watch\/\">slipped<\/a> further on Sunday, dipping to $66,600, which became its lowest level since Tuesday. However, it reacted well and now trades almost a grand higher.<\/p>\n<p>As of now, BTC\u2019s market cap has settled at $1.350 trillion, while its dominance over the alts sits quietly at 56.6% on CG.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1430769\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1430769\" style=\"width: 1835px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/BTCUSD-Mar-8.png\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1430769 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/BTCUSD-Mar-8.png\" alt=\"BTCUSD Mar 8.
