However, the subsequent rejection and correction have been quite painful. It quickly lost the $80,000 support and dived to $75,000 on May 23\/24.<\/p>\n<p>After a quick but unsuccessful rebound attempt that was halted at $78,000, the bears took control once again and initiated another leg down that drove BTC to under $74,000 in late May. Bitcoin maintained $73,000-$74,000 for a few days but <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/these-altcoins-explode-by-double-digits-as-bitcoin-price-dips-below-72000-market-watch\/\">broke down<\/a> as June started.<\/p>\n<p>It first dipped to $71,000 yesterday, where it found some support, but that was short-lived. The bears kept the pressure mounting, and BTC <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/bitcoin-hits-70k-after-losing-key-cost-basis-zone-as-analysts-warn-of-deeper-drawdown\/\">crashed<\/a> below $70,000 earlier today for the first time since April 8 amid some <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/mt-gox-transfers-731-million-in-bitcoin-to-a-new-wallet-time-to-worry\/\">Mt.

Moreover, its dominance over the market has been significantly reduced as many alts have charted more minor losses.<\/p>\n<p>The metric has slumped to 56.3% on CG, down by approximately 2% in the past week or so. Its market capitalization now struggles to remain above $1.4 trillion.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1438564\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1438564\" style=\"width: 2560px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/BTCUSD-June-2-scaled.png\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1438564 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/BTCUSD-June-2-scaled.png\" alt=\"BTCUSD June 2.
