ETH has managed to defend the $2,000 level, while HYPE has jumped to $37 after an 8% increase.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"btc-beneath-70k-again\">BTC Beneath $70K Again<\/h2>\n<p>After last Wednesday\u2019s rejection at the monthly peak of $74,000, bitcoin headed straight south in the following days. Although it remained around $68,000 over the weekend, it dipped to $65,600 on Monday morning when most legacy financial markets opened.<\/p>\n<p>The bulls finally intervened after this decline and helped the asset recover over five grand by Tuesday, when it jumped to nearly $72,000. However, it <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/icp-and-pi-defy-altcoin-correction-btc-price-slips-below-70k-market-watch\/\">couldn\u2019t keep climbing<\/a> and dipped to $69,000 on Wednesday. The US CPI numbers came out, <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/how-will-bitcoins-price-react-as-us-cpi-for-february-matches-expectations\/\">matching<\/a> expectations, and BTC remained relatively still below $70,000.<\/p>\n<p>A few hours later, though, it jumped above $70,000 and even $71,000 briefly after the POTUS <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/bitcoin-whipsaws-around-70k-as-trump-says-theres-nothing-left-to-hit-in-iran\/\">said<\/a> there\u2019s \u201cpractically nothing left to target\u201d in Iran. That was a short-lived bounce, though, as bitcoin has lost the $70,000 since then and now struggles just below it.<\/p>\n<p>Its market capitalization remains inches below $1.4 trillion on CG, while its dominance over the alts is still beneath 57%.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1431221\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1431221\" style=\"width: 1835px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/BTCUSD-Mar-12.png\"><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1431221\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">BTCUSD Mar 12.

HYPE has outperformed its competitors, skyrocketing by over 8% daily to a local peak of $8.50. TAO and SKY are the other notable gainers from this cohort of alts.<\/p>\n<p>Pi Network\u2019s native token received major adoption news from Kraken, as the veteran exchange <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/pi-networks-pi-token-listed-on-major-exchange-ahead-of-pi-day-details\/\">said<\/a> it would enable PI trading as of March 13. The asset remained flat at first, but it has gained almost 5% daily and peaked at $0.24 minutes ago. It\u2019s among the few alts with massive double-digit gains over the past week and month.<\/p>\n<p>The total crypto market cap has remained relatively still since yesterday, currently sitting at just over $2.450 trillion on CG.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1431222\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1431222\" style=\"width: 1881px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Screenshot-2026-03-12-112239.png\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1431222 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/d5004dc9-59ff-4ec4-d612-bff982567400\/w=9999\" alt=\"Cryptocurrency Market Overview Mar 12.
