As a researcher with extensive experience in the cryptocurrency market, I’ve witnessed firsthand the volatility and unpredictability of Bitcoin’s price movements. The past few days have been particularly challenging for investors, as we saw Bitcoin fall to its lowest level in more than five weeks, below $64,000, and altcoins follow suit with significant declines.


As a market analyst, I observed Bitcoin‘s price taking a downturn during the evening hours on Friday. The cryptocurrency dipped to a level not seen since late June, falling significantly below the $64,000 mark.

As a researcher observing the cryptocurrency market, I notice that altcoins are experiencing a significant downturn today, with Avalanche leading the charge in bearish price movements.

BTC Sees Multi-Week Low

Last week’s failed effort to surmount the $70,000 mark caused bitcoin to plummet, reaching a monthly low of $64,000 on Friday. The weekend exhibited the anticipated lower volatility and bitcoin hovered slightly above $65,000.

On Monday, Bitcoin’s price surged past $66,500, marking an impressive start to the week. However, bears emerged and instigated another round of selling, causing Bitcoin’s value to drop for several consecutive days. The downward trend culminated on the previous day when Bitcoin reached a low of $63,400.

The price of it reached its lowest point since May 15. However, Bitcoin has regained some value since then and is currently trading above $64,000.

As a crypto investor, I’ve noticed that Bitcoin’s market capitalization has taken a significant hit and now hovers around $1.270 trillion. Despite this downturn, Bitcoin continues to hold its ground with a dominance of approximately 51.5% over the altcoins on CoinGecko.

AVAX Leads on the Way South

Larger alternative cryptocurrencies generally underperform on a daily basis, with the exception of DOGE, TON, XRP, DOT showing minor losses. On the other hand, ETH, BNB, SOL, SHIB, and TRX have recorded minimal price increases.

“Steep decreases, exceeding 4% for Chainlink and over 3% for Cardano, have caused significant pain in the cryptocurrency market.”

Despite the declines across all assets, AVAX experiences the largest daily decrease of over 9%. Consequently, it faces difficulty in maintaining its value above $25.

I’ve noticed a significant drop of approximately $20 billion in the total crypto market capitalization over night, bringing it down to a current value of around $2.46 trillion as per CoinMarketCap.
