XRP Defies Market Correction Trend, BTC Price Slips Below $103K (Market Watch)

Bitcoin’s price ascent came to a halt yesterday at almost $106,000, where the asset faced a violent rejection that pushed it south to under $101,000 before it staged a minor recovery. Most altcoins have turned red today after the recent gains, led by a massive price slump from PI. BTC Stopped at $106K After trading sideways for about a week at around $94,000 and $96,000, bitcoin finally broke above the upper boundary last week and quickly shot above $100,000. Since that date (May 8), the cryptocurrency has remained well within six-digit territory. Its price climb continued in the past few days, even during the calm weekend, perhaps due to the positive developments on the US-China trade front. The culmination came yesterday as both countries announced a pause in the tariffs, and BTC spiked to a new four-month peak of just under $106,000. However, the bears finally reemerged at that point and stopped the asset’s rise. In a matter of a few hours, BTC slumped hard and dropped below $101,000 for the first time in almost a week. Nevertheless, it has bounced off and now trades close to $103,000. Its market cap has remained at around $2.040 trillion, while its dominance over the alts has recovered some ground and is up to 59.8% on CG. BTCUSD.

Some of the biggest price drops come from the meme coin space, with DOGE, SHIB, PEPE, and WIF dropping by around 10%. PI has dumped the most from the largest 100 alts, having lost 25% of value and trading below $1.15 now. In contrast, XRP is the only exception with minor daily gains, having tapped $2.5. Ripple’s cross-border token neared $2.7 yesterday but was rejected at that point. The total crypto market cap has lost almost $100 billion since yesterday’s peak and is down to $3.42 trillion on CG.
