ICP and PI are among the few exceptions with notable gains today.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"btc-falls-below-70k\">BTC Falls Below $70K<\/h2>\n<p>It was a week ago when the primary cryptocurrency reached a monthly high at $74,000 after gaining $11,000 since that Saturday low of $63,000 when the strikes in the Middle East began. However, it couldn\u2019t keep marching forward, and the subsequent retracement drove it south to $68,000 over the weekend.<\/p>\n<p>As the war only intensified during the weekend, BTC <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/bitcoin-volatility-returns-as-oil-prices-go-wild-ethereum-fights-for-2k-market-watch\/\">dipped<\/a> to $65,600 on Monday morning alongside the legacy financial markets. However, it rebounded almost immediately, especially after US President Donald Trump <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/bitcoin-eyes-70k-oil-prices-dump-as-trump-claims-the-war-is-almost-over\/\">claimed<\/a> that the war was almost over. BTC <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/hyperliquid-hype-rockets-by-double-digits-bitcoin-btc-tops-71k-market-watch\/\">climbed<\/a> toward $70,000, and even though that resistance was too strong at first, the asset managed to reclaim it yesterday.<\/p>\n<p>The bulls drove it to a six-day peak of $71,800, where it was rejected and pushed south. As of now, bitcoin trades well below $70,000, with a market capitalization of $1.390 trillion on CG. Its dominance over the altcoins has also declined, and it\u2019s now below 57%.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1431063\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1431063\" style=\"width: 1835px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/BTCUSD-Mar-11.png\"><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1431063\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">BTCUSD Mar 11.
