Crypto Market Under Pressure: Bitcoin Loses Key Levels
The cryptocurrency market is facing another wave of turbulence. The premier digital asset, Bitcoin (BTC), has corrected below the psychological support of $75,000. The primary catalyst for this local slide is the persistent capital outflow from spot ETFs.
However, this dip has not deterred major players. While short-term traders are panic-selling, long-term investors are using this opportunity to accumulate cheap coins.
“A BTC whale has been hoovering up 450 ‘cheap Bitcoins’ per day for the past eight and a half days using a time-weighted average price (TWAP) method,” noted Blockstream CEO Adam Back.
Historical Undervaluation of BTC Compared to US Equities
An intriguing metric was highlighted by Bitwise in their latest report. The current Market-Value-to-Realized-Value (MVRV) ratio for Bitcoin stands at just 1.42.
Technical Analysis: BTC and Key Altcoins
Let’s examine the charts of the top digital assets to identify potential pivot points.
- BTC/USDT: Bitcoin turned down from its 20-day exponential moving average (EMA) at $77,431. Bulls are trying to defend the crucial support zone between $76,000 and $74,289. If this area fails, the price could drop to the support line near $70,500.
- ETH/USDT: Ether (ETH) is struggling to climb back above its previous support line. Psychological support sits at $2,000, and a break below this could trigger a decline toward the $1,916–$1,750 range.
- SOL/USDT: Solana (SOL) is squeezed between the 20-day EMA ($86.42) and the $82.65 support. A breakdown below $82.65 could quickly push SOL to $76.
- XRP/USDT: Ripple (XRP) is drifting toward the $1.27 support level. Buyers need a daily close above the downtrend line to regain momentum and target $1.61.
