Bitcoin extended its recent slide early on 22 August, slipping below $112,000 and briefly touching roughly $111,000, according to multiple cryptocurrency price trackers. The drop followed a decline earlier in the week that had pushed the world’s biggest digital asset under $114,000 on 19 August. The setback proved short-lived. Within about two hours the token rallied back through $114,000 and was quoted near $115,000, erasing the day’s losses. The rapid swing highlighted the market’s continued volatility around the six-figure mark. Other large-capitalisation tokens moved in tandem during the rebound, with Ether trading around $4,500 and Solana near $189 in the same interval.
