Market Fluctuations: Bitcoin’s Sharp Drop and Altcoins’ Mixed Responses

Bitcoin price experienced a sharp decline following its recent increase, coinciding with the opening of Asian markets. After reaching a level of $44,000 last week, the price momentarily fell to $40,400 this morning. During this period, while altcoins also saw declines, some challenged the market.

Alongside Bitcoin, significant volume altcoins such as XRP, SOL, ADA also witnessed noticeable drops in their prices. Nonetheless, some altcoins showed resistance against the market.

According to data from Binance, incredible price movements were detected in 3 altcoins within the last hour. Price analysis revealed that these 3 altcoins demonstrated strong performance, with one of them even doubling in value.

The rise of AVAX seems to be impacting the projects within its ecosystem. BENQI (QI) broke its long silence and saw a 135% increase even as the market fell with BTC’s drop. Rapid purchases changed the stagnant price structure, and the 24-hour trading volume rose by an incredible 730% to $242 million.

VeThor Token (VTHO) is another notable altcoin that showed an increase of over 40% in the last hour. According to Binance data, its price rose 40% to $0.002492 in the last hour. The 24-hour trading volume increased by an incredible 500% to $16 million. The overall volume of the POND altcoin increased by 32% reaching $161 million.

As for the current situation of Bitcoin, after the rapid rise of the past weeks, there was a slight pullback, and the price recovered from $40,400 to $42,400 after a short rebound. Upcoming significant decisions to be announced in the US this week could have important impacts on the price of Bitcoin. While the correlation of altcoins with Bitcoin continues, we may see some continue to diverge.
