BTC Recovers From Sub-$77K Dip, XRP Drops Below $1.40: Weekend Watch

Bitcoin’s rebound stalled after the new Fed Chair’s hawkish tone, sending BTC down to a five-day low under $77,000 following a week that had pushed it above $81,000. The pullback followed strong momentum that carried BTC from below $65,000 to nearly $80,000 in 48 hours after Aug. 19, before resistance capped gains near $80,000. Warsh’s hawkish comments quickly dragged prices lower within an hour. BTC has since rebounded slightly but remains more than 2% lower on the day, with market cap at $1.555 trillion and dominance above 57%. XRP fell below $1.40.
