The bulls tried to intervene and helped BTC recover $2,000 on Sunday and Monday, but the bearish sentiment prevailed, and the asset dipped below $80,000 once again.<\/p>\n<p>Brief signs of strength emerged on Tuesday and early Wednesday, during the hours leading up to the FOMC meeting, when BTC surged to almost $82,000. Once the meeting concluded and the Fed <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/binance-hacked-for-6-3b-fed-holds-rates-bitcoin-crashes-to-6-week-low-weekly-crypto-recap\/\">left interest rates unchanged<\/a>, BTC dipped below $80,000 before it jumped back to $81,900.<\/p>\n<p>Its ascent was halted there, and the cryptocurrency dipped below $81,000. Then came news that Binance was the latest big-name hack victim in the crypto markets, with the losses <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/binance-suffers-6-3-billion-hack-pledges-to-cover-all-user-losses\/\">exceeding<\/a> $6 billion. Bitcoin reacted immediately with a painful nosedive to $76,400. The dead-cat bounce took it two grand higher before it dipped again to a new six-week low of $76,100.<\/p>\n<p>Since then, it has gradually <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/stx-defies-altcoin-crash-with-double-digit-surge-btc-stabilizes-at-77k-weekend-watch\/\">recovered<\/a>, gaining almost $2,000, and the asset is now fighting to reclaim the $78,000 level. Its market cap has returned to $1.560 trillion on CMC, while its dominance over the alts is just shy of 60%.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1452663\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1452663\" style=\"width: 1835px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/BTCUSD-November-1-1.png\"><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1452663\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">BTCUSD November 1.
