Bitcoin Takes a Dive! Altcoins Cry Uncle! 😂💸

by

Well, well, well! The last 24 hours have been a rollercoaster ride for the cryptocurrency market, and guess what? The bulls are feeling a bit queasy! 🐂💨 Bitcoin (BTC) decided to play hide and seek, briefly dropping below $85,500. Surprise, surprise!

And if you thought the altcoins were having a party, think again! They’re not just losing; they’re losing like they just bet on the wrong horse in a three-legged race! 🐴💔

BTC Takes a Trip to the Red Zone Again! 🚩

In a plot twist nobody saw coming (except maybe everyone), the much-hyped crypto summit at the White House on March 7 sent shockwaves through the digital asset market. Some folks thought it would be a Bitcoin bonanza, but BTC decided to keep us all guessing! 🎭

US President Donald Trump hosted a gathering with crypto bigwigs and his administration’s finest. He doubled down on his promise to create a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve and insisted that America would follow a “never sell your BTC” plan. Sounds great, right? Well, not so fast! 🚀

Despite the pep talks, Bitcoin took a nosedive to $85,300 just hours after the summit. Some market wizards had warned of a “sell the news” effect, and boy, were they right! 🧙‍♂️✨

But wait! BTC managed to bounce back slightly to $86,100 (according to CoinGecko), which is still a 2.5% drop for the day. Talk about a comeback! Or is it a flop? 🤷‍♂️

Now, the market cap has plummeted to about $1.7 trillion, while Bitcoin’s dominance over the altcoins is hanging on at around 58.2%. It’s like being the tallest kid in kindergarten! 🎈

And the Altcoins? Oh Boy, They’re in Trouble Too! 😱

Many of the leading altcoins are performing worse than a one-legged man in a butt-kicking contest! Ripple (XRP) is down 5.5% to $2.35, Cardano slipped 6% to $0.81, and Chainlink (LINK) is down 9%. Ouch! 😬

Other cryptocurrencies like Hedera (HBAR), Sui (SUI), and Stellar (XLM) are also feeling the heat. Meanwhile, TRON (TRX), Pi Network (PI), and Litecoin (LTC) are the few brave souls actually gaining ground. Go figure! 🏆

The total cryptocurrency market cap is now around $2.93 trillion, reflecting a 4% drop for the day. It’s like watching a slow-motion train wreck! 🚂💥
