Although the Middle Eastern country responded immediately against numerous targets in the region and its Supreme Leader was killed, BTC didn\u2019t continue to free fall \u2013 just the opposite, it rebounded to $68,000 on that same day.<\/p>\n<p>More volatility ensued in the following couple of days, with BTC slipping to $65,200 when it <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/5-in-1-hour-bitcoin-price-explodes-to-69k-ahead-of-trumps-speech-on-iran-situation\/\">surged<\/a> by 5% in an hour to $70,000. It was rejected there at first, as it happened during the previous week\u2019s attempt, but the <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/bitcoin-price-eyes-70k-again-ethereum-flirts-with-2k-market-watch\/\">bulls were not to be denied<\/a> this time.<\/p>\n<p>After they regrouped on Monday and Tuesday, they initiated a substantial leg up yesterday, <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/bitcoin-price-surges-to-monthly-highs-gains-over-10k-since-usa-iran-strikes-began\/\">driving<\/a> bitcoin to its highest level since early February at $74,000. This meant that the cryptocurrency had added $11,000 since its Saturday low after the attacks began.<\/p>\n<p>Although it was stopped there and now trades around $72,000, it\u2019s still 3% up on the day. Its market cap has surged to almost $1.450 trillion on CG, while its dominance over the alts stands tall at 57.4%.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1430478\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1430478\" style=\"width: 1835px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/BTCUSD-Mar-5.png\"><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1430478\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">BTCUSD Mar 5.

SOL is back to $90, while DOGE has risen by 5% to $0.095. XRP, BNB, TRX, ADA, and LINK are also slightly in the green, while XMR is up by almost 5% to $362.<\/p>\n<p>Pi Network\u2019s native token has stolen the show once again. Perhaps driven by the overall market revival and some crucial updates to the network behind it, the PI token has <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/pi-networks-pi-price-jumps-8-5-after-latest-updates-details\/\">surged<\/a> by 13% daily and now sits above $0.195.\u00a0SKY, JUP, and DCR follow suit in terms of daily gains.<\/p>\n<p>The total crypto market cap has added another $60 billion in a day and now sits above $2.5 trillion on CG.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1430479\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1430479\" style=\"width: 1879px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Screenshot-2026-03-05-105413.png\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1430479 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/e0db27fb-c2af-42a4-4754-3212dcf70300\/w=9999\" alt=\"Cryptocurrency Market Overview Mar 5.
