PUMP

Altcoin

Bitcoin’s gradual recovery from the largest crypto hack in USD terms continues, with the asset slowly grinding toward $78,000.
Most altcoins have remained quite sluggish since yesterday, with ETH posting a minor increase, while TRX has dropped hard once again. There’s only one alt with a substantial double-digit surge today.

The rejection at $85,000 on October 21 was the beginning of a more profound correction that started with a dive to $79,200 last Saturday. The bulls tried to intervene and helped BTC recover $2,000 on Sunday and Monday, but the bearish sentiment prevailed, and the asset dipped below $80,000 once again.
Brief signs of strength emerged on Tuesday and early Wednesday, during the hours leading up to the FOMC meeting, when BTC surged to almost $82,000. Once the meeting concluded and the Fed <a href="https://cryptopotato.com/binance-hacked-for-6-3b-fed-holds-rates-bitcoin-crashes-to-6-week-low-weekly-crypto-recap/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">left interest rates unchanged</a>, BTC dipped below $80,000 before it jumped back to $81,900.
Its ascent was halted there, and the cryptocurrency dipped below $81,000. Then came news that Binance was the latest big-name hack victim in the crypto markets, with the losses <a href="https://cryptopotato.com/binance-suffers-6-3-billion-hack-pledges-to-cover-all-user-losses/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">exceeding</a> $6 billion. Bitcoin reacted immediately with a painful nosedive to $76,400. The dead-cat bounce took it two grand higher before it dipped again to a new six-week low of $76,100.
Since then, it has gradually <a href="https://cryptopotato.com/stx-defies-altcoin-crash-with-double-digit-surge-btc-stabilizes-at-77k-weekend-watch/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">recovered</a>, gaining almost $2,000, and the asset is now fighting to reclaim the $78,000 level. Its market cap has returned to $1.560 trillion on CMC, while its dominance over the alts is just shy of 60%.
