Bitcoin Faces Pressure After Recent Price Drops

Bitcoin (BTC) has been declining since being rejected at $64,000 on Monday, despite a bullish weekend. After a slight increase on Monday, BTC fell by 1.25% to $62,106 on Tuesday. The downward trend continued on Wednesday, with BTC dropping just over 3% to $60,215. Selling pressure led to a breach of the $60,000 support level, causing BTC to slump more than 5% to $57,097. This drop also meant BTC lost the 200-day SMA, a critical support level during bull markets. Currently, BTC is down just over 4%, trading at $54,688.

The recent drop coincides with a significant $2.7 billion transaction by Mt. Gox, which has resumed moving large amounts of BTC to an unknown wallet. Traders had hoped BTC would stabilize around the $55,000 level, but this support has also been breached, pushing the price down to $54,640 in the ongoing session. If BTC can recover and rise above $55,000, it might stabilize. However, failing to do so could lead to a more substantial decline.

Ethereum Struggles as $3,000 Support Level Fails

Ethereum (ETH) has lost the crucial $3,000 support level in today’s session, reflecting the strong bearish sentiment in the market. Despite hopes for a bullish turnaround with the approaching Ethereum ETF launch, recent price actions have dampened these expectations. ETH has plummeted by 10.77% in the past 24 hours, falling below this critical support level.

On Monday, ETH struggled with resistance at the $3,500 mark and failed to break above it. The price dropped slightly on Tuesday to $3,418 and saw intensified selling pressure on Wednesday, falling 3.64% to $3,293. By Thursday, the bearish sentiment continued, driving ETH down over 7% to $3,059, just above the $3,000 support level. However, the price slipped below $3,000 during the current session and is now trading at $2,848, down almost 7%.

If buyers can push ETH back above $3,000, it may move towards the $3,100 and $3,300 range. However, if selling pressure persists, the price could continue to decline. The RSI has entered the oversold region, indicating a potential short-term recovery and suggesting that ETH might return to the $3,000 level.

Weekly Crypto Market Overview: SOL, DOT, TON, SHIB, LTC, ATOM

Solana (SOL): Solana has faced a challenging week, with a nearly 14% drop in its price.

Currently, SOL is down by 2.50%, trading at $124.72. A continued decline may see SOL stabilize around $120, where it has support, and a rebound from this level could push it back toward the 200-day SMA.

On Tuesday, DOT reached $6.52 but faced strong selling pressure. By Wednesday, DOT had fallen nearly 7% to close just above $6. The bearish trend persisted, leading to an 8.57% drop on Thursday, with DOT settling at $5.55, just above the $5.50 support level. Currently, DOT is down nearly 4%, having lost the $5.50 support. If buyers can reclaim this level, DOT might consolidate before attempting to reach $6.
