This Monday, April 13, 2026, Bitcoin falls to $70,757, down 3.1% on the day. Ethereum follows the move to $2,192, losing 4.1%. The weekly performance, though positive at +2.6% for BTC, is now threatened by this sudden decline. Traditional markets are also down, with the Dow Jones losing 1.2% in the session.
This correction is partly explained by profit-taking after a week of sustained gains. Investors, having realized significant gains, chose to sell to secure their profits. Additionally, rumors of monetary tightening in the US have cooled risk appetite. The US dollar strengthened, mechanically weighing on crypto-denominated assets.
Despite this decline, Bitcoin remains above the $70,000 threshold, an important psychological support level. Analysts believe this pullback is temporary and the underlying uptrend remains intact. However, volatility remains high, and the coming sessions will be crucial in determining whether the market can bounce back or enter a longer consolidation phase. Prudent investors are closely watching macroeconomic indicators.
