Bitcoin slipped below $68,000 on Saturday and gave back part of its midweek rally as traders moved into the weekend with a more cautious stance. CoinMarketCap data showed Bitcoin trading near $67,900, down more than 4% over 24 hours after briefly climbing above $74,000 earlier in the week.
The pullback spread across major tokens, with Ether near $1,974, Solana around $84, XRP near $1.37, Dogecoin at about $0.09, and BNB close to $627.
Furthermore, the decline came as the US dollar posted its strongest weekly gain in about a year, which added pressure to risk assets. A stronger dollar often reduces appetite for assets such as Bitcoin because it tightens financial conditions and raises the appeal of safer holdings.
