On Wednesday, the asset tapped $90,000 but was stopped there and began its gradual descent after the US Fed paused the interest rate cuts.<\/p>\n<p>The escalating tension in the Middle East was blamed for Thursday\u2019s substantial crash when BTC slumped to a multi-month low of $81,000. It rebounded on Friday and early Saturday to $84,000, while the precious metal market crashed, but the situation worsened once again during the weekend.<\/p>\n<p>In a rather untypical manner for a Saturday afternoon and evening, bitcoin <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/2-5-billion-saturday-wiped-out-analysts-explain-why-bitcoin-and-altcoins-crashed\/\">crumbled<\/a> from $83,000 to $76,000. It regained some traction on Sunday but <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/these-altcoins-suffered-the-most-as-bitcoin-fell-to-new-local-lows-market-watch\/\">crashed<\/a> again on Monday morning to under $75,000 \u2013 the lowest level since April last year.<\/p>\n<p>It bounced off in the following hours and challenged $79,000, where it was stopped and now sits below it. Its market cap is down to $1.560 trillion, while its dominance over the alts on CG is up to 57.7%.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1427735\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1427735\" style=\"width: 2560px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/BTCUSD-Feb-3-scaled.png\"><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1427735\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">BTCUSD Feb 3.

Ethereum was hit very hard, dropping from over $3,000 toward $2,100. Despite rebounding since then, it still struggles below $2,300.<\/p>\n<p>XRP, TRX, and XLM are slightly in the red, while SOL, BNB, ADA, and BCH have posted insignificant gains. HYPE has stolen the show once again, surging by 19% to $37. CC is the other big gainer with a 8% pump to over $0.19.<\/p>\n<p>The total crypto market cap has regained $70 billion since yesterday\u2019s low and is above $2.7 trillion on CG now.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1427736\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1427736\" style=\"width: 2560px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Screenshot-2026-02-03-122220-scaled.png\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1427736 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/217d1227-c0de-4b1a-a032-7a7454db4000\/w=2560\" alt=\"Cryptocurrency Market Overview Daily Feb 3.
