BTC Recovers Swiftly and Eyes $79K Again, XMR Surges Above $500: Market Watch

Bitcoin fiel wegen geopolitischer Spannungen kurz unter $77.000, erholte sich aber schnell und visiert wieder $79.000 an, während die meisten Altcoins wie ETH, BNB und XRP weiter schwächeln. XMR sticht mit einem Sprung über $500 als Ausnahme hervor.| Bitcoin began the new business week with a dip below $77,000 as geopolitical tensions in the Middle East escalated amid new attacks, but HAS since managed to shrug off the losses. The same cannot be said about most larger-cap alts. ETH is still struggling at $2,500, while BNB is below $700. XRP HAS seemingly lost the $1.40 support. XMR is among the few exceptions. BTC Rebounds After gaining $15,000 in 48 hours, bitcoin was due for a correction last weekend and dropped below $75,500. However, the bulls quickly resumed control of the market and initiated a couple of major legs up as the previous business week progressed, driving the asset to $81,000 and $81,500, respectively. This meant that BTC had reached its highest price tag in over three months. However, its attempt ON Thursday was met with a sharp rejection, perhaps due to the hawkish stance taken by Fed Chair Kevin Warsh during the Friday speech at Jackson Hole, and bitcoin slumped to under $77,000. It managed to rebound over the weekend and even climbed past $79,000. However, then came the new attacks in the Middle East, and the cryptocurrency dipped to just under $77,000 ON Monday morning. It HAS reacted swiftly by recovering nearly two grand ahead of another major macro week . As a result, it trades close to $79,000 once again, with its market cap jumping back to $1.580 trillion, while its dominance over the alts HAS rocketed to over 58.5% ON CG. BTCUSD August 31.
