Bitcoin popped back above the $100,000 mark Monday morning, but the six-figure position didn’t last for long: The price of the leading cryptocurrency has fallen below $97,000 as of this writing, with other major assets falling alongside.

Dogecoin and XRP are the biggest daily losers in the top 10 coins by market cap, each falling by approximately 8% over the past 24 hours, per data from CoinGecko. Bitcoin is down by 3% at a current price of $96,880.

DOGE, the original and most valuable meme coin by market cap, is cooling off after hitting a three-year high price of $0.48 over the weekend. It’s now priced at $0.428, still up nearly 1% on the week despite the latest slide.

Meanwhile, the Ripple-linked XRP has seen a downward slide over the last six days after setting a seven-year high price of $2.82 last Tuesday. It’s now priced at $2.38.

While down 14% over the past week, XRP has still had an incredible month, surging by 333% over the past 30 days. Dogecoin is up 106% during that span, while Bitcoin has risen 27% in the same window of time.
