It kept climbing even during the weekend, but the culmination transpired on Monday when the US and China announced a tariff pause. At the time, BTC skyrocketed to almost $106,000, which became a new multi-month peak.However, the bears finally intervened at this point and didn’t allow an attempt for an all-time high. Just the opposite; BTC started losing value and dropped below $101,000 on Monday evening.It didn’t stay there for long and bounced to around $103,000 yesterday. The aforementioned better-than-expected US CPI numbers for April failed to result in immediate price volatility, but BTC still challenged $105,000 in the evening to no avail.Since then, the asset has lost nearly two grand and fights to stay above $103,000.
