• Bitcoin’s price is $68,933.39 with a 0.61% increase in the last 7 days, outperforming the global cryptocurrency market down by 0.70%.

According to analysis by CryptoBusy, an analyst on X, Stacks (STX) has recently dipped below the $2 mark, raising concerns among investors. Despite this downturn, there is potential for a rebound, particularly when Bitcoin (BTC) experiences a strong bullish trend. 

At press time, STX is trading at $1.98, with a 24-hour trading volume of $91,965,904.87. This represents a 4.41% price increase over the last 24 hours but a 1.04% decline over the past week. With a circulating supply of 1.5 billion STX, the cryptocurrency’s market cap stands at $2,900,958,490.

Historically, STX has shown strong performance during periods of significant Bitcoin price surges. However, with Bitcoin currently consolidating and maintaining high dominance in the market, altcoins, including STX, are experiencing a downtrend. 

Over the past week, the global cryptocurrency market has declined by 0.70%, with STX underperforming even within this context, registering a 1.10% decline. In comparison, similar cryptocurrencies in the GMCI 30 Index have remained stable.

Bitcoin’s price is $68,933.39 at press time, with a 24-hour trading volume of $26,892,293,160.65. Despite a slight 0.14% decline over the past 24 hours, BTC has seen a 0.61% price increase over the last week. The cryptocurrency market leader, Bitcoin, has a circulating supply of 20 million BTC, resulting in a market cap of $1,358,511,174,523. This modest weekly increase highlights Bitcoin’s relative stability compared to the broader market’s decline.

While STX is currently at a 50% discount from its previous highs, analysts suggest that it could experience a significant rise when bullish momentum returns to the market. However, potential investors are advised to wait for a clear reversal pattern before entering the market. This cautious approach is essential given the current volatility and the influence of Bitcoin’s performance on altcoin movements.
