Its rebound was short-lived as Powell\u2019s hawkish words sent it south once again toward $70,000.<\/p>\n<p>It remained between $69,000 and $71,000 on Saturday, but Trump\u2019s warning to \u2018obliterate\u2019 Iran\u2019s power plants if it doesn\u2019t safely reopen the Strait of Hormuz pushed it toward $68,000. Once the futures markets opened on Sunday evening and Monday morning, bitcoin <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/siren-flies-to-new-ath-above-3-btc-price-slipped-to-a-2-week-low-market-watch\/\">dipped<\/a> again to under $67,500.<\/p>\n<p>It traded around $68,000 yesterday before Trump <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/bitcoin-price-skyrockets-as-trump-announces-major-de-escalation-in-war-against-iran\/\">announced<\/a> that the US and Iran had reached some sort of a de-escalation deal and paused all military action against the latter\u2019s power plants. However, immediate reports from Iran <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/bitcoin-sees-wild-price-swings-as-iran-rejects-trumps-de-escalation-claims\/\">denied<\/a> these claims, saying there were no negotiations between the two parties.<\/p>\n<p>Bitcoin first rocketed to $71,800, where it was rejected and driven down to under $70,000, but ultimately reclaimed that level and now sits around $71,000.<\/p>\n<p>Its market cap is up to $1.420 trillion on CG, while its dominance over the alts has increased to 56.7%.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1432491\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1432491\" style=\"width: 1835px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/BTCUSD-March-24.png\"><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1432491\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">BTCUSD March 24.
