Crypto Price News For March 14: Mixed Results for Top Coins

Once again, the crypto market has left investors on edge, with volatility defining today's trading. Some coins from yesterday’s gains are holding steady, but many have dropped insignificantly and Bitcoin has returned to $82K. Altcoins are showing mixed performances, with some tracking Bitcoin’s decline while others continue to show positive movement.

According to Coinmarketcap, the global cryptocurrency market cap has decreased by 0.65%, reaching $2.68 trillion. The market volume has also fallen by 12.83%, now sitting at $88.48 billion. The CMC 100 Index has dropped by 0.45% over the past 24 hours, reflecting the market uncertainty.

Driving Market Forces

The crypto market continues to feel the effects of the global economy. While U.S. inflation is cooling, as the latest CPI report shows, overall market sentiment remains weak. Concerns over geopolitical instability, including trade issues and tariffs related to Trump, fuel the uncertainty. Bitcoin’s recent drop, with $78.88 million in liquidations in the last 24 hours, has only added to the volatility.

Furthermore, Bitcoin's market dominance has dropped slightly by 0.48%, now at 60.81%, which suggests that altcoins are starting to attract a bit more market attention. As Bitcoin faces resistance at the $85K mark, altcoins like Hyperliquid, OFFICIAL TRUMP, and Cosmos are showing significant movement, even as others struggle.
