Bitcoin falls below $69K; $110B wiped off market cap despite institutional wins
first published 2026-03-06T05:57:49Z
Bitcoin spiked to about $74,000 before losing momentum and slipping under $71,000. CryptoQuant’s Bull Score remains 10/100, which analysts say indicates the move is likely a short-lived relief rally rather than a new bull phase. Short-term buying was supported by renewed US ETF inflows and a positive Coinbase premium, but commentators warned of fading momentum, persistent macro uncertainty and vulnerability to further downside; a few firms see early signs of improving momentum.
