Crypto Market Watch: Bitcoin Rejected From $11K (Again), BTC Dominance Still Above 65%

After breaking the resistance at $11,000 in the early hours of today, Bitcoin’s price rose as high as $11,040. However, it quickly retraced to $10,500 where it’s been trading for the majority of the past few days. At the time of this writing, BTC is trading at $10,583, marking a slight increase of about 0.1% in the past 24 hours. 

It’s worth noting that Bitcoin’s dominance rate is still holding relatively strong, as it currently sits at around 65.2%. This showcases the fact that altcoins haven’t been able to capitalize on Bitcoin’s most recent dump and have continued to struggle.

Ethereum, the second-largest cryptocurrency by market cap, is down about 0.6% on the day while Ripple (XRP) is down 0.3%.  

The total market cap is ~$290 billion | Bitcoin’s market cap is ~$189 billion | BTC dominance rate is 65.2%
