Bitcoin can’t crack $70,000 as $60K capitulation data fuels bear market talk

On Tuesday, bitcoin slipped roughly 0.9% to trade near $67,852 after yet another unsuccessful attempt to stay above the $70,000 level. The cryptocurrency reached as high as $69,999 during the session but then dropped to $67,329. Ether was last seen around $1,970. The market’s still chewing over what to make of that early-February tumble.

Right now, the token is sitting under its estimated mining cost—about $87,000, according to Hardman.
