Given the surprise nature of the attack, it was no wonder that BTC\u2019s price tumbled in response, going from over $108,000 to under $103,000 in minutes.<\/p>\n<p>The situation continued to escalate in the following days, with Iran retaliating and Israel doubling down on its attacks. The US President Donald Trump was vocal on the matter, urging Iran to make a nuclear deal before it\u2019s too late.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the increasing tension, BTC\u2019s price actually recovered some ground and spent the next few days around $104,000-$105,000. It skyrocketed once the business week started and jumped to $109,000 on Tuesday. However, that was a short-lived rally, and its price <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/bitcoin-price-slips-below-104k-as-trump-makes-critical-remarks-on-iran-israel-conflict\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">dropped<\/a> immediately to $103,500.<\/p>\n<p>The focus turned to the US Fed, which concluded its <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/bitcoin-boom-or-bust-the-feds-interest-rate-decision-looms-tomorrow\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">latest FOMC meeting<\/a> on Wednesday. To the surprise of no one, it left the interest rates unchanged, and bitcoin\u2019s price <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/bitcoin-price-unfazed-as-us-federal-reserve-announces-decision-on-interest-rates\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">remained<\/a> flat at around $104,000.<\/p>\n<p>On Friday, though, BTC started to gain some traction and spiked above $106,000 for just the second time this week. It currently hovers around that level amid <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/iran-will-reportedly-consider-limitations-on-uranium-enrichment-bitcoin-price-flirts-with-106k\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">reports<\/a> that Iran is considering inserting certain limitations on its Uranium program. Such a price tag means that bitcoin is actually slightly up on a weekly scale.<\/p>\n<p>The top performer in this regard from the larger-cap alts is WBT, which set a new all-time high earlier this week. Despite retracing slightly since then, it\u2019s still 45% up weekly. Bitcoin Cash trails behind with a 17% surge, while UNI is third with a 6.6% jump.<\/p>\n<p>In contrast, HYPE has slipped by over 7% in the same timeframe, followed by ADA (-5%), SUI (-5%), and DOT (-6%).<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"market-data\">Market Data<\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_401380\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-401380\" style=\"width: 1878px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Screenshot-2025-06-20-163454.png\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\"><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-401380\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Weekly Market Overview: Source: QuantifyCrypto<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_383407\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-383407\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-383407\">\n<dl id=\"attachment_384442\">\n<dt\/>\n<\/dl>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Market Cap: $3.406T | 24H Vol: $103B | BTC Dominance: 61.8%<\/p>\n<p>BTC: $106,100 (+1.2%) | ETH: $2,560 (+0.8%) | XRP: $2.17 (+1.5%)<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"this-weeks-crypto-headlines-you-cant-miss\">This Week\u2019s Crypto Headlines You Can\u2019t Miss<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Justin Sun\u2019s Tron to Go Public in the US: Report<\/strong>.
