PEPE Tanks Double Digits as Bitcoin Gets Rejected at $75K: Market Watch

Bitcoin’s rebound attempt fell short at $75,000 yesterday, and the asset has lost over $1,500 since then, currently fighting to stay above $73,000 once again. Most altcoins have mimicked BTC’s performance over the past day, with ETH sliding by more than 0.5%, while BNB is down by 1.2%. ZEC continues to be on the wrong side of the $1,000 barrier. BTC Fails Again The primary cryptocurrency went on a violent rollercoaster a week ago after the conclusion of the US midterm elections. It dipped to $75,600 after the results came in, then skyrocketed to $81,000 12 hours later, reaching a local peak. The volatile trading sessions continued a day later, on Thursday, but in the opposite direction. The bears took complete control of the market and initiated a massive leg down to BTC’s starting point of under $76,000. On Friday, they took it up a notch and pushed the cryptocurrency to $74,800. The weekend was less volatile, with bitcoin trading close to $76,000. However, Monday began with another leg down, this time even more severe, to $73,800. The asset tried to recover some ground the following day or so, but it was stopped at $75,600. The bears stepped up once again on Tuesday, driving it to a fresh multi-month low of $72,800 after the CPI reading. Wednesday was a recovery day, with BTC climbing to $74,800. As the title of this article suggests, though, it was rejected again and has fallen to $73,400 as of press time. Bitcoin’s market capitalization remains at $1.470 trillion on CMC, while its dominance over the alts has increased to over 60.5%. BTCUSD November 12.
