    Bitcoin Price Slips to $96,000 after Early Rally

    Bitcoin (BTC-USD) price slipped to $96,000 after previous rally that nudged global market capitalisation higher. Retail investors have continued to take profit, and this kept market growth in check.

    Major digital assets were firmer Thursday, with Bitcoin trading above the $97,000 level. The CoinDesk Market Index, which tracks 126 digital assets, rose 3.3% in the past 24 hours.

    US stock indexes were in the red in late trading, with the Nasdaq 100 down 0.3%, while the S&P 500 and the Dow Jones Industrial Average about 0.3% and 0.4% lower, respectively.

    Bitcoin climbed 3% to $97,433, with a trading volume of $46.5 billion, up 90.5%, according to CoinMarketCap data. Ethereum (ETH-USD), the second-largest digital asset by market value, was up 2.9% at $3,450.

    XRP (XRP-USD) rose 3.6%, while BNB (BNB-USD) was down 0.2%, and Solana (SOL-USD) added 6.8%. Dogecoin (DOGE-USD) was 4% higher, and Cardano (ADA-USD) rose 3.9%.
