Bitcoin\u2019s price jumped from $76,000 to almost $79,000 on Friday after the latest reports on the US-Iran war front, but retraced slightly and calmed at around $78,000.<\/p>\n

Most altcoins have posted minor gains over the past 24 hours, including ETH, which has climbed to $2,300, and HYPE, which has neared $42.<\/p>\n

BTC Taps $78K<\/h2>\n

The previous business week began with a notable surge from the primary cryptocurrency. After it traded sideways at around $77,000 over that weekend, the asset jumped to $79,500 for the second time in the past week. However, just like it happened during the first attempt, the bears were quick to intervene and pushed it south hard.<\/p>\n

At first, BTC dipped to $77,500 before another leg down drove it to $76,500. The bears kept the pressure on, and the cryptocurrency slipped to $75,750 on Tuesday. After a failed recovery attempt at $77,750, bitcoin slumped to a weekly low at $75,000 after the US Federal Reserve kept the interest rates unchanged<\/a> for the third consecutive time in 2026.<\/p>\n

After that local bottom, BTC bounced off to $76,500 on Thursday and up to almost $79,000 yesterday after reports<\/a> that Iran had sent another peace proposal to the US. However, bitcoin was stopped there after the POTUS said the proposal was not good enough, and now trades inches above $78,000.<\/p>\n

Its market capitalization has stalled at $1.570 trillion, and its dominance over the alts remains well above 58% on CG.<\/p>\n

ZEC Pumps Again<\/h2>\n

Ethereum has returned to $2,300 after a minor 1% increase. XRP remains below $1.40 despite a similar daily jump, but many analysts anticipate a major move in the making. HYPE is the top performer from the largest 15 alts, gaining 3% to almost $42.<\/p>\n

ZEC has stolen the show from the top 100 alts, surging by almost 8% to $380. HASH and SIREN follow suit, with gains of around 6% each. TAO is up by 5% to $273. TRX and BCH have also posted minor gains, while BNB and LINK are slightly in the red.<\/p>\n

The cumulative market cap of all crypto assets has remained relatively stable at $2.680 trillion on CG.<\/p>\n
