The bulls finally stepped up after this calamity and didn\u2019t allow another breakdown. The subsequent bounce-off drove BTC to $64,000 by the start of the next business week, but the actual breakout attempt arrived last Sunday and Monday.<\/p>\n<p>At the time, US President Donald Trump announced a deal with Iran, which was supposed to be signed by June 19. BTC <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/bitcoin-price-jumps-above-65k-as-trump-announces-official-deal-with-iran\/\">reacted<\/a> with an immediate uptick to $67,200 on Monday, which became its highest price tag in two weeks. However, it faced another rejection, which was <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/bitcoin-slides-as-warsh-stays-hawkish-and-markets-await-a-lasting-us-iran-agreement-weekly-recap\/\">exacerbated<\/a> after the FOMC meeting on Wednesday, and it dipped below $62,400 by Friday.<\/p>\n<p>The promised deal is yet to be signed, which could be among the reasons behind the market-wide weakness. Nevertheless, bitcoin still managed to <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/sol-hype-and-zec-post-substantial-gains-as-btc-reclaims-63k-weekend-watch\/\">regain some traction<\/a> and tapped $64,400 earlier today. Although it was stopped there, it still trades above $64,000 at press time.<\/p>\n<p>Its market cap remains above $1.285 trillion on CG, while its dominance over the alts is still north of 56%.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1440552\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1440552\" style=\"width: 1835px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/BTCUSD-June-21.png\"><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1440552\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">BTCUSD June 21.

Ethereum stands still at $1,730, BNB is at $590, and XPR is just inches below $0.15. Solana, despite some <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/600000-sol-moved-to-exchanges-is-a-drop-to-50-next\/\">major token deposits to exchanges<\/a>, is up by over 2% to $73. TRX, CC, and XMR are also in the green, while HYPE and XLM have lost some traction.<\/p>\n<p>NEAR has risen by 3.5% to $2.24, while ONDO is below $0.34 after a 3.2% decline. LAB is today\u2019s top performer once again, surging by over 25%. It now trades well above $15 after a 230% monthly rise, and it\u2019s close to the top 20 alts by market cap. AERO follows suit in terms of daily gains, as an 11% pump has helped it enter the top 100 alts.<\/p>\n<p>The total crypto market cap has tapped $2.290 trillion on CG after another minor increase on a daily scale.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1440554\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1440554\" style=\"width: 1881px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Screenshot-2026-06-21-093932.png\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1440554 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/4941e568-805a-4aaa-84e9-712ff851fb00\/w=9999\" alt=\"Cryptocurrency Market Overview June 21.
