Dash (DASH) Plummets 10% Amid Broad Altcoin Selloff

Dash (DASH) fell 10% amid a broader altcoin selloff triggered by Bitcoin's rejection near $85,000 due to geopolitical tensions. The decline was worsened by DASH's recent rally into resistance and heavy trading activity. Bitcoin's drop erased $70 billion from the total crypto market cap, which fell to $2.84 trillion. DASH's price surged 20% over the weekend before being rejected at $74 resistance, leading to a sharper pullback.
