However, this was another dead-cat bounce that was followed by more profound and painful declines. The first occurred almost immediately and drove BTC south to under $62,400. That was just the start, though, as the bears were about to regain full control of the market.<\/p>\n<p>The next couple of leg downs were a lot more vicious. At first, bitcoin plunged to $59,000, bounced off to $62,000, but it was rejected there almost immediately. The culmination, at least for now, occurred on Thursday when the asset <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/crypto-markets-erase-120b-as-bitcoin-tanks-to-58k-amid-growing-strategy-fud-weekly-recap\/\">plummeted<\/a> to $58,000 to reach its lowest price tag since before the US presidential elections in 2024.<\/p>\n<p>The bulls were finally able to halt the freefall, helping bitcoin recover to $60,000 over the weekend. BTC was even stopped at $60,800 after the US and Iran <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/bitcoin-remains-stable-at-60k-despite-new-attacks-between-us-and-iran-weekend-watch\/\">exchanged<\/a> some blows, and it dipped by two grand to $58,800 on Sunday evening. It has rebounded to $60,000 as of now after the two sides <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/news\/articles\/c872rjw17qpo\">announced<\/a> they will stand down, for now.<\/p>\n<p>Bitcoin&#8217;s market cap struggles at $1.2 trillion, while its dominance over the alts remains at just under 56% on CG.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1441339\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1441339\" style=\"width: 1835px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/BTCUSD-June-29.png\"><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1441339\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">BTCUSD June 29.

The team <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/pi2day-is-here-what-every-pi-network-pioneer-needs-to-know\/\">announced<\/a> new major features, but the native token reacted with a massive 5% drop to just under $0.12 earlier today before it managed to reclaim that level as of press time. CC and WLD are the other major losers from the larger-cap alts, losing over 4% each.<\/p>\n<p>Even more painful losses are evident from LAB (-19%), BEAT (-11%), and M (-7.5%). MemeCore is down by nearly 80% in the past week alone. In contrast, BinanceLife has rocketed by 37%, followed by VELVET&#8217;s 12% surge.<\/p>\n<p>Most larger-cap alts have remained at essentially the same levels as yesterday. SOL and BCH have gained the most, up by over 2% to $73 and $197, respectively.<\/p>\n<p>The total crypto market cap has defended the $2.150 trillion level on CG.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1441340\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1441340\" style=\"width: 1883px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Screenshot-2026-06-29-100053.png\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1441340 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Screenshot-2026-06-29-100053.png\" alt=\"Cryptocurrency Market Overview June 29.
