ZEC and PI have dumped the most daily.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"btc-fights-for-67k\">BTC Fights for $67K<\/h2>\n<p>Last weekend brought intense volatility for the crypto markets after the US and Israel <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/breaking-bitcoins-price-plunges-below-64k-as-israel-attacks-iran\/\">attacked<\/a> Iran. BTC dropped immediately from $67,000 to $63,000 but rebounded within the day to $68,000 after reports that the Iranian Supreme Leader was <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/btc-touched-68k-after-khamenei-reported-death-xrp-surpasses-bnb-weekend-watch\/\">killed<\/a> during the attacks.<\/p>\n<p>The gains continued by the middle of the business week when bitcoin peaked at $74,000, a level not seen in a month. However, the bears stepped up at this moment and didn\u2019t allow for any further increases.<\/p>\n<p>Just the opposite; BTC <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/bitcoin-price-returns-to-70k-despite-growing-tension-in-the-middle-east-your-weekly-crypto-recap\/\">started to lose value<\/a> but dumped the most on Friday after a weak US jobs report and Trump\u2019s latest threats and remarks on Iran and Cuba. It <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/pi-networks-pi-taps-3-month-high-bitcoin-btc-fights-for-68k-weekend-watch\/\">slipped<\/a> further on Sunday, dipping to $66,600, which became its lowest level since Tuesday. However, it reacted well and now trades almost a grand higher.<\/p>\n<p>As of now, BTC\u2019s market cap has settled at $1.350 trillion, while its dominance over the alts sits quietly at 56.6% on CG.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1430769\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1430769\" style=\"width: 1835px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/BTCUSD-Mar-8.png\"><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1430769\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">BTCUSD Mar 8.

However, it failed there, and the subsequent rejection has pushed it south hard to $0.20 as of press time. ZEC follows suit in terms of daily losses and now struggles below $200.<\/p>\n<p>Most larger-cap alts are also in the red, but in a less painful manner. ETH has decisively <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/eth-tests-the-crucial-zone-that-defined-its-last-cycle-could-a-4x-rally-follow\/\">broken<\/a> below the $2,000 level after another minor decline, while BNB is down to $620. SOL, XRP, ADA, XMR, and LINK are also down today.<\/p>\n<p>The total crypto market cap has shed around $30 billion daily and is below $2.4 trillion as of now on CG.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1430770\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1430770\" style=\"width: 1883px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Screenshot-2026-03-08-105618.png\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1430770 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/3865cfab-584d-4c0b-fdb0-8df690811000\/w=9999\" alt=\"Cryptocurrency Market Overview Mar 8.
