Bitcoin prices fall under $60,000, trading at around $59,800. Analysts are looking for signs to see if bitcoin will soon forge a bottom, or if there's further downside ahead. One such sign is the growing market dominance of leading stablecoin Tether on the overall market, said Amr Taha of CryptoQuant in a note. Tether's market capitalization of roughly $186 billion takes up 8.75% of total crypto market cap, says Taha, which is close to a high of 9% last seen in 2022 during the FTX scandal. But after bitcoin prices plunged to a low of $16,000 in the midst of the FTX crisis, it then rose to its record highs over $120,000, Taha says. (kirk.maltais@wsj.com)
