Bitcoin’s price faced some enhanced volatility in the past 24 hours as it popped to $70,200 but was violently rejected there and pushed down to $69,000.
The altcoins are mostly in the red, while KAS skyrocketed by 19% and now trades close to $0.18
The primary cryptocurrency had a fluctuating end of the previous business week in which it attempted to overcome $69,000 but was stopped there by the bears. Moreover, the subsequent rejection saw the asset slump to $66,600, which became a multi-day low.
The bulls finally stepped up at this point and didn’t allow any further pain. Just the opposite, BTC bounced off and spent most of the weekend trading sideways at around $67,500.
It all started to change on Monday when bitcoin started a leg up that drove it to just over $70,200 for the first time in about a week. However, as it happened during the previous such attempt, BTC was stopped and it pulled back by nearly two grand.
Since then, the cryptocurrency has been shaky at around $69,000. Its market cap is just over $1.360 trillion, while its dominance over the alts has increased to 50.4% on CG.

Shiba Inu, Avalanche, Chainlink, and NEAR have all dropped by 3-5%. More losses come from meme coins like Pepe (-7.5%) and WIF (-5%).
On the other hand, KAS has skyrocketed by 18% and now trades close to $0.18.
