Bitcoin Slips Below $71K While Cardano Rockets by 6%

  • Bitcoin hit resistance at $71,500 after a strong week but failed to maintain its gains, dropping by about $2,000.
  • Meanwhile, Cardano (ADA) stood out among altcoins, rising by 6% in an otherwise calm market.

The cryptocurrency market saw mixed fortunes this weekend, as Bitcoin (BTC) struggled to hold its ground above $71,000, while Cardano (ADA) defied the trend with a strong daily rally. Here’s a closer look at the market movements that shaped this weekend’s crypto landscape.

Bitcoin Hits Resistance at $71.5K

Bitcoin’s price movements this week have been a rollercoaster for investors and traders alike. The leading cryptocurrency started the week on a high note, breaking above the psychological $70,000 mark and reaching $73,600 at its peak. This multi-month high brought BTC close to its March all-time high of $73,740, stirring anticipation within the community that a new record could be imminent.

However, BTC encountered a series of pullbacks as the week progressed. The most significant correction came on Friday morning, when Bitcoin sharply dropped below $69,000, wiping out roughly $3,000 in a matter of hours. Although the bulls made an attempt to regain control, pushing BTC back up to $71,500 following a weaker-than-expected U.S. jobs report, the rally was short-lived. Bitcoin ultimately faced resistance at this level, causing it to retreat by about $2,000.

As a result, Bitcoin’s market capitalization decreased to $1.375 trillion, though its dominance over other cryptocurrencies remains robust at over 56%.

Cardano Defies the Odds

While many major altcoins displayed relatively minor price changes, Cardano (ADA) stood out with a notable gain. ADA surged by 6% over the past day, making it one of the best performers among the larger-cap altcoins. This increase pushed Cardano’s price above $0.35, drawing attention as it outpaced most other assets in its class.

In contrast, other leading altcoins like Ethereum (ETH), Binance Coin (BNB), Solana (SOL), and Ripple (XRP) experienced slight losses of 1-2%. Even meme coins Dogecoin (DOGE) and Shiba Inu (SHIB), which are known for their volatility, saw only minor gains.

Other noteworthy gainers include Raydium (RAY), with a 14% jump, and privacy-focused Monero (XMR), up by 5%. Overall, the total cryptocurrency market cap remained stable, hovering just below $2.450 trillion, reflecting a mostly stagnant market environment.

Looking Ahead

The market’s recent movements underscore the unpredictable nature of cryptocurrencies, with Bitcoin facing strong resistance at $71,500 and Cardano showing resilience in a quiet altcoin market. As traders keep a close eye on BTC’s next moves, the strength of altcoins like ADA could provide opportunities for those looking beyond Bitcoin’s dominance. With the new business week approaching, the crypto community eagerly awaits further developments that may shape the next leg of this volatile market journey.
