This meant that the asset had added $11,000 in days, which, given the current uncertain landscape, was almost expected to be followed by a sharp decline.<\/p>\n<p>The bears indeed took control of the market in the following days and pushed BTC south to $68,000 on Friday and Saturday. Although it was a <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/bitcoin-struggles-to-maintain-67k-pi-networks-pi-plunges-after-recent-rally-weekend-watch\/\">significantly less volatile<\/a> weekend compared to the previous one, BTC still felt some fluctuations on Sunday evening when most legacy futures markets opened.<\/p>\n<p>As Israel struck a few Iranian oil bases, the price of the so-called liquid gold <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/surging-oil-prices-and-inflation-data-will-rattle-crypto-markets-this-week\/\">skyrocketed<\/a> this morning to a fresh multi-year peak of $120 per barrel.

Its market cap is back to $1.350 trillion, while its dominance over the alts stands at 56.5% on CG.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1430830\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1430830\" style=\"width: 1835px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/BTCUSD-Mar-9.png\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1430830 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/BTCUSD-Mar-9.png\" alt=\"BTCUSD Mar 9.
