The post Trump’s “ Extremely Hard” Hits Hard On Bitcoin, But Some Altcoins Make It Through appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News

Bitcoin on Thursday slipped to $66,000, erasing all the gains registered after Tuesday’s news of easing in the war. BTC price today dropped 3.24% over 24 hours, with negative volume. This came after President Donald Trump’s shift in stance towards Iran to end the war. Major Altcoins like Ethereum, XRP, Solana, BNB, and Dogecoin experience Extended losses. 

While Bitcoin reacts to every escalating headline of war, Cryptocurrencies like STO, NOM, and ONT outperform the top altcoins in daily gains. These sharp gains are supported by organic catalysts and may continue gains, with respect to technicals and sentiment.
