ZEC Soars Amidst Market Turbulence as BTC Stabilizes Below $112K: Weekend Overview
Despite a significant market downturn, ZEC has shown resilience with impressive gains, while Bitcoin finds stability around $112,000.
Following a massive decline on Friday and Saturday, Bitcoin has settled around $112,000. Many altcoins mirrored this behavior, although some, like BNB, managed to gain.
Bitcoin Stabilizes at $112K
The week saw a strong start for Bitcoin as it hit consecutive all-time highs last Sunday and Monday, peaking just over $126,000. However, fears arose when US President Donald Trump threatened new tariffs on China, leading to a rapid drop in Bitcoin’s value from $122,000 to $101,000 on various exchanges.
This decline resulted in significant liquidations, causing the largest recorded loss of $19 billion in a single day, according to CoinGlass. Afterward, Bitcoin briefly surpassed $114,000 but has since stabilized close to $112,000 at the time of this reporting, with its market cap under $2.230 trillion.
