Bitcoin Flat, Altcoins Soar: A Week of Crypto Drama ๐Ÿš€๐Ÿ’ฐ

What a week it has been in the world of cryptocurrencies! It’s almost as if the heavens themselves decided to play a cruel game with us mere mortals. Bitcoin, that great titan of the digital realm, stands now like a statue, unmoving, unchanging-trading flat. Yet, this apparent stillness belies the storm that raged beneath. ๐ŸŒช๏ธ

A mere seven days ago, our beloved BTC was undergoing a significant correction, plummeting to a disheartening $112,000 on August 2nd. The market, ever the capricious lover, attempted a recovery, pushing the price back above $115K a day later. But alas, the sellers, those relentless harbingers of doom, were not content. They struck again, driving the price back down below $113,000. ๐Ÿ˜ข

will Bitcoin continue to lose ground, or will it rally and leave the altcoins in the dust once more? ๐Ÿค”๐Ÿ”ฅ
