Bitcoin Tumbles to 9-Day Low as XRP Plunges Below $1

Bitcoin (BTC) faced a price rejection at $65,400 earlier this week and subsequently dropped to a nine-day low of $63,200 before finding support. This move indicates renewed short-term downside pressure in crypto markets.

Larger-cap altcoins are slightly up on the day, while XRP fell below $1.00 for the first time in nearly two years yesterday. The price dip underscores mixed market dynamics and implications for token adoption, DeFi protocols, and exchange activity.
