In fact, the asset stood above $73,000 on June 1, but the bears were quick to resume control of the market and initiate several consecutive leg downs.<\/p>\n<p>As reported earlier this week, BTC first lost the $70,000 support level, but that was just the beginning. It kept dropping in value and <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/these-altcoins-defy-market-crash-bitcoin-btc-bounces-from-2-month-low-market-watch\/\">slipped<\/a> below $66,000 yesterday. After a brief but unsuccessful bounce to $67,000, the cryptocurrency went downhill again and dumped to just over $61,000 earlier today for the first time since the February crash.<\/p>\n<p>After <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/bitcoins-massive-plunge-toward-61k-leaves-over-1-6b-in-liquidations\/\">leaving more than $1.6 billion in liquidations<\/a> across the entire market, BTC rebounded slightly to $64,000, where it faced another rejection. As of press time, the asset trades below $63,000, showing a 14% decline on a weekly scale.<\/p>\n<p>Its market cap has tumbled to $1.260 trillion on CG, and its dominance over the alts is down by over 2% in the past week to 55.6%.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1438821\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1438821\" style=\"width: 2560px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/BTCUSD-June-4-1-scaled.png\"><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1438821\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">BTCUSD June 4.

In fact, most have charted even more profound declines. Ethereum is down to $1,750, <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/ethereum-crashing-to-14-month-low-is-a-screaming-buy-the-dip-opportunity-analyst\/\">hitting<\/a> a 14-month low earlier today. SOL has plunged below $70 after a 9% daily decline. XRP <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/xrp-could-crash-under-1-after-key-breakdown-and-whales-exit-analyst\/\">dropped<\/a> below $1.15 earlier today before rebounding very slightly.<\/p>\n<p>ADA slumped below $0.19 for the first time in years. BNB is below $600 after a 7% decline. ZEC, DOGE, LINK, AVAX, and many others are deep in the red as well. WLD is among the few exceptions with a notable 11% surge during this time of distress.<\/p>\n<p>NEAR, TON, and RENDER have dumped the most, losing up to 18% of value daily.<\/p>\n<p>The total crypto market cap has erased another $140 billion in just a day and is below $2.270 trillion as of press time.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1438824\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1438824\" style=\"width: 2560px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Screenshot-2026-06-04-114601-scaled.png\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1438824 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/9bf96d61-cabd-4f5e-fe62-8ac9b300ea00\/w=2560\" alt=\"Cryptocurrency Market Overview June 4.
