Ah, the grand spectacle of Bitcoin’s price, a tragic ballet performed upon the stage of the digital realm! On Sunday, the noble asset aspired to reach the celestial heights of $72,000, only to stumble and fall, as if tripped by an invisible clown. Since then, it has retraced by over two thousand dollars, a sum that would make even a miserly bureaucrat weep with despair.
The larger-cap altcoins, those fickle courtiers of the crypto kingdom, have donned their mourning attire today, their gains from the weekend now but a distant memory. Yet, amidst this sea of sorrow, WLFI and XMR stand as defiant jesters, their laughter echoing through the halls of the market.
Bitcoin’s Descent into the Abyss of $70K
Oh, the travails of the primary cryptocurrency! In recent weeks, it has nosedived with the grace of a drunken goose. On January 31, it plummeted from $84,000 to a mere $76,000, a fall so precipitous it might have been engineered by a malevolent bureaucrat. And let us not forget its earlier tumble from the lofty peak of $90,000, a height from which it could only descend into folly.
The bulls, those noble but misguided creatures, attempted to intervene, but their efforts were as effective as a sieve in a rainstorm. They managed to push BTC to $79,000, a fleeting victory before the bears, those relentless tyrants, reasserted their dominance. The selling pressure, intensifying like a bureaucrat’s obsession with red tape, culminated in a plunge to $60,000 on Thursday and Friday morning. A price so low, it harkened back to the days before the US presidential elections in November 2024, when the world was still young and naive.
After losing $30,000 in just over a week-a sum that could fund a small revolution-the cryptocurrency rebounded with the vigor of a man escaping a tedious government office. It surged to $72,000 on Friday and Saturday, only to be halted once more, as if by an invisible wall of bureaucratic indifference. It tried again on Sunday, but fate, or perhaps the bears, had other plans. Since then, it has declined by $2,500, now languishing below $70,000. Its market capitalization, once a towering giant, has shrunk to $1.390 trillion, while its dominance over the alts is a mere 57%.

WLFI: The Jester in a Court of Sorrows
As we have already lamented, the altcoins are bathed in red today, their gains from the weekend now but a distant memory. Ethereum, that once-proud prince, has fallen by 3% to $2,030. XRP, the court jester of old, is down to $1.40, while BNB has slipped to $623. SOL and DOGE, once the darlings of the market, have dropped by 4%, and CC has shed 5% of its value, as if it were paying a tax to a particularly greedy bureaucrat.
But behold, WLFI, the incorrigible jester, has surged by 8%, pushing it to nearly $0.11. SKY, LEO, and XMR also remain in the green, their laughter a mocking echo in this court of sorrows. Meanwhile, JUP, ONDO, and ARB have lost the most value daily, up to 8%, their fortunes as fleeting as a bureaucrat’s promise.
The total crypto market cap has declined by around $70 billion in a day, now standing below $2.430 trillion. A sum so vast, yet so insignificant in the grand scheme of this absurd ballet.
