SOL is up by over 2% daily.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"btc-aims-at-70k-again\">BTC Aims at $70K Again<\/h2>\n<p>It was last Thursday when bitcoin jumped to $70,000 for the first time in over a week, only to be halted and driven south hard. It remained around $68,000 by Friday when it suddenly dumped to under $65,000. Although it had rebounded to $66,000 by Saturday morning, it quickly plunged to $63,000 after the attacks in the Middle East began.<\/p>\n<p>Instead of dumping further as the geopolitical tension began, BTC rebounded strongly to over $68,000 after reports <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/btc-touched-68k-after-khamenei-reported-death-xrp-surpasses-bnb-weekend-watch\/\">emerged<\/a> that Iran\u2019s Supreme Leader was killed in the attacks. However, it couldn\u2019t go any higher and dropped to $65,000 by Monday.<\/p>\n<p>Then came an unexpected and rare hourly rally, in which the asset <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/5-in-1-hour-bitcoin-price-explodes-to-69k-ahead-of-trumps-speech-on-iran-situation\/\">jumped<\/a> to over $70,000 again in minutes. Another rejection <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/near-skyrockets-15-daily-btc-price-plummets-below-67k-market-watch\/\">followed<\/a>, which pushed BTC down to $66,200. More volatility ensued, and the cryptocurrency now trades just under $70,000 again, but some analysts <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/btc-rejected-at-70k-again-the-massive-obstacle-holding-bitcoins-price-down\/\">believe<\/a> there\u2019s a major obstacle in its way.<\/p>\n<p>Its market cap has climbed to almost $1.4 trillion, while its dominance over the alts is up to 57% on CG.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1430361\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1430361\" style=\"width: 1835px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/BTCUSD-Mar-4.png\"><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1430361\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">BTCUSD Mar 4.

ETH has climbed to just over $2,000 as of press time, while BNB is up to $640 and remains above XRP in terms of market cap positioning. SOL and BCH are up by 2%, while DOGE, ADA, HYPE, and CC have lost somewhere between 1-3% daily.<\/p>\n<p>AAVE has lost the most value from the larger-cap alts, dropping by 6% to $113. In contrast, XDC has rocketed by 9% and now trades at $0.035. ICP and JUP follow suit.<\/p>\n<p>The cumulative market cap of all crypto assets has gained nearly $100 billion since yesterday\u2019s low and is up to $2.440 trillion on CG.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1430362\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1430362\" style=\"width: 1881px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Screenshot-2026-03-04-101441.png\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1430362 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/89837d84-ec13-4510-7401-938fac891200\/w=9999\" alt=\"Cryptocurrency Market Overview Mar 4.
