Bitcoin is hovering near $64,000 today after a turbulent stretch that saw the price climb as high as $65,600. The recent push came following lower than expected inflation data in the United States, which initially gave investors a reason to buy. However, the gains were short lived, and the primary cryptocurrency has since shed about $1,500 from that recent peak.

Ethereum saw a similar pattern, reaching its highest price in six weeks at nearly $1,950 before facing resistance. The asset has since pulled back to trade below the $1,900 mark. Other major tokens are feeling the pressure as well, with assets like Solana, Tron, and Cardano showing red on the daily charts while the broader market cap dropped by $40 billion in just twenty four hours.

Traders are now watching to see if Bitcoin can maintain its support at the $64,000 level. Market sentiment remains sensitive to geopolitical developments and shifts in how investors interpret economic reports. With Bitcoin dominance holding steady at 56.7 percent, all eyes are on whether the market can find a new base or if further downside is on the horizon.
