Altcoin’s recent gains have come under pressure as Bitcoin (BTC) price dropped to retest lower support levels after reaching a new all-time high at $41,940.
Following Bitcoin’s Jan. 7 push above $40,000, the top cryptocurrency faced selling pressure that saw the price dip as low as $36,600. As has been the case throughout the current rally, investors quickly purchased the dip and BTC price rallied to a new all time high at $41,940 on Jan.8.
