However, it quickly rebounded, and when the ceasefire was extended on Tuesday, it <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/bitcoin-btc-neared-80k-as-the-us-and-iran-extended-the-ceasefire-your-weekly-crypto-recap\/\">jumped<\/a> to an 11-week peak of almost $79,600.<\/p>\n<p>Nevertheless, the bulls were exhausted after this impressive run, and BTC quickly retreated to $77,000. It spent the next several days trading sideways between that level, which served as the lower boundary, and $78,500, which was the upper one.<\/p>\n<p>It slipped again to $77,200 yesterday when US President Donald Trump <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/is-bitcoin-in-further-trouble-as-trump-halts-iran-talks-and-tensions-rise\/\">pulled out<\/a> the delegation from peace talks with the Iranian side, which had also left Pakistan minutes before that.<\/p>\n<p>Another major development took place during the night as the POTUS was <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/bitcoin-price-reacts-after-trump-evacuated-following-white-house-gunshots\/\">evacuated<\/a> from a White House event after multiple gunshots were heard, and the Secret Service apprehended a 31-year-old Californian resident carrying several guns. BTC jumped by a grand within minutes, touching $78,200 before it retraced slightly to $78,000.<\/p>\n<p>Its market cap remains around $1.560 trillion, while its dominance over the alts on CG is well above 58%.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1435420\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1435420\" style=\"width: 1835px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/BTCUSD-April-26.png\"><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1435420\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">BTCUSD April 26.

PI has jumped by over 5% daily and now sits above $0.18. The only coin with a more impressive performance today is STABLE, which has added 7% of value to $0.034.<\/p>\n<p>XMR and SKY have jumped by over 4% daily, while the rest of the larger-cap alts sit a lot calmer. ETH, TRX, and DOGE are slightly in the green, while XRP, BNB, SOL, HYPE, and BCH have posted minor losses. RAIN has dumped the most from this cohort of assets, losing 5% daily.<\/p>\n<p>The total crypto market cap has neared $2.7 trillion on CG again after adding $40 billion from yesterday\u2019s low.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1435421\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1435421\" style=\"width: 1884px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Screenshot-2026-04-26-130244.png\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1435421 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/ada092ed-a844-48a7-6839-4fc38ff6dc00\/w=9999\" alt=\"Cryptocurrency Market Overview April 26.
