Bitcoin’s recovery from last week has been almost entirely erased as the asset dipped below $91,000 earlier today after the latest developments on the EU-US trade war front and the situation with Greenland. The altcoins are deep in the red again, with ETH sliding beneath $3,100 and XRP decisively losing the $2.00 support. BTC Sees Weekly Lows Recall that the primary cryptocurrency went on the offensive last week. It gained $8,000 in the span of just a few days and reached a multi-week high of $98,000 on Wednesday evening. When the bulls began preparing for a charge toward $100,000, the landscape shifted, and BTC slipped by a few grand in the following days. It spent the weekend trading quietly around $95,000, but volatility was expected on Monday morning as futures and Asian markets opened following the latest shots fired between the US and the EU. Those fluctuations indeed transpired and drove BTC south from $95,500 to under $92,000. The asset recovered some ground mid-day but dropped once again on Tuesday morning, this time to a weekly low of under $91,000. It currently struggles around that level, as its market cap has slipped below $1.820 trillion. Its dominance over the alts stands tall at 57.5% on CG. BTCUSD Jan 20.
