**Crypto Market Update: Bitcoin and Altcoins Under Pressure**
Bitcoin (BTC) has plunged below the critical $60,000 mark, driven by a 6% drop in Japan's Nikkei index and a weak July jobs report. Despite this, Bitcoin remains within a broad trading range. Whales are still bullish, adding 84,000 BTC in July, and 64,000 BTC have exited whale exchange balances, the highest since 2015.
**Key Points:**
- Bitcoin's decline has dragged several altcoins down.
- Buyers are expected to step in as Bitcoin nears the bottom of its range.
- Crucial support levels to watch: $55,724 and $53,485.
**Altcoin Highlights:**
- **Solana (SOL):** Trading between $116 and $210, with support at $127-$116.
- **XRP:** Struggling to stay above $0.52; potential support at $0.46-$0.41.
- **Kaspa (KAS):** Needs to hold $0.17 to avoid deeper correction.
- **Aave (AAVE):** Faces resistance at $115; support at $96-$102.
Investors should stay cautious and conduct their own research before making any trading decisions.
