Bitcoin\u2019s rejection at $78,400 continues to haunt the asset as it just dipped toward $75,000 following the latest tension escalation on the Middle East war front.<\/p>\n

Most altcoins have followed suit, as the total crypto market cap has erased roughly $100 billion since the Friday high.<\/p>\n

BTC Drops Toward $75K<\/h2>\n

The primary cryptocurrency dipped from $73,600 to under $70,500 last weekend after the first peace talks between the US and Iran failed. However, it went on an impressive run by Tuesday evening when it surged to just over $76,000 as reports emerged that the two sides had actually made some progress on finding a more permanent solution.<\/p>\n

BTC remained sideways between $73,200 and $75,500 for the next few days before the bulls took complete control of the market and drove it to $78,400 on Friday. This substantial rally to a 10-week high<\/a> came after Iran\u2019s foreign minister announced that the country had reopened<\/a> the Strait of Hormuz.<\/p>\n

Trump later thanked him and made several other claims that appeared as if the US had the upper hand in the negotiations. However, Iran denied<\/a> all seven of them, and seemingly closed<\/a> the Strait on Saturday, which resulted in a price rejection and a subsequent correction. As of now, bitcoin trades more than $3,000 south from its local peak, and more volatility is expected later today when the legacy financial markets start to open.<\/p>\n

For now, BTC\u2019s market cap has slipped toward $1.5 trillion on CG, while its dominance over the alts is up to 57.5%.<\/p>\n

Alts in Red<\/h2>\n

Most altcoins have mimicked BTC\u2019s performance over the past day, with losses dominating the charts. Ethereum has dipped toward $2,300 after a 3.5% daily decline, XRP is below the $1.43 resistance, and BNB is back to $620 after similar price drops. SOL, HYPE, ADA, DOGE, LINK, CC, ZEC, and AVAX are also well in the red.<\/p>\n

AAVE has dumped<\/a> the most from the top 100 alts following the KelpDAO hack, plunging by over 20% to $92 as of now. M is down by 18% to $3.50, followed by PUMP and WLD. Pi Network\u2019s native token was rejected<\/a> at $0.185 yesterday and now struggles below $0.175 after another substantial decline of over 8%.<\/p>\n

The total crypto market cap is down by $100 billion since Friday and now sits at $2.620 trillion on CG.<\/p>\n
