Pi Network’s PI Token Suffers Another Setback as Bitcoin (BTC) Calms at $78K: Weekend Watch

After losing over $4,000 since the Thursday evening peak at $82,000, bitcoin has finally calmed at around $78,000 following yesterday’s multi-week low. Most larger-cap alts are quite sluggish on a daily scale, aside from the two largest privacy coins, which have posted impressive rebounds. BTC Settles at $78K It was less than 11 days ago when the primary cryptocurrency spiked to its highest price level in three months at almost $83,000. This meant that it had recovered nearly 40% since its early February low. However, it was quickly stopped there and pushed to $79,000 by that Friday. After a quiet weekend, it rose past $82,400 lat Monday, where it faced another rejection and dipped to $80,000 in the following days. The bears took it a step further on Wednesday, driving the asset south to $78,500. Then came the positive news on the CLARITY Act in the US Senate, and BTC rocketed by several grand to $82,000 once again. That resistance turned out to be too strong , and BTC dipped to $80,500 in hours. The situation worsened on Friday evening and Saturday when the cryptocurrency dumped to a two-week low of $77,600. It has recovered some ground since then and now stands inches above $78,000. Nevertheless, its market cap is down to $1.560 trillion, but its dominance over the alts stands tall above 58% on CG.

ETH, XRP, SOL, and BNB are slightly in the red, while TRX, ADA, and DOGE have marked insignificant gains. HYPE is up by over 2% daily to $43, while XMR has gained 3% to $390, and ZEC has surged past $515 following a 4.5% increase. Pi Network’s PI token plunged suddenly yesterday and over 8% down on a weekly scale. It has lost a crucial support at $0.165, which some analysts believe opens the door for another drop to new all-time lows. The asset is also out of the top 50 alts by market cap. The total crypto market cap remains below $2.680 trillion on CG after losing more than $100 billion since the Thursday high. Cryptocurrency Market Overview May 17.
