Movers & Losers
In the top ten cryptos, BTC and ETH aren’t having their best day—down by 1.7% and 3.3% respectively. XRP took a bigger hit with a 4.2% drop to $1.32, extending its nosedive to be currently 63.8% off its all-time high (ATH). Meanwhile, Figure Heloc (FIGR_HELOC) holds steady at $1.03 and shows minor gains over the week.
Levels We’re Watching
Bitcoin’s been trading from $76,454.00 to $78,382.00 in the last day or so—a dip below $76,454 might signal more bearish vibes ahead, testing lower support lines perhaps? But a climb past $78,382 could point to short-term recovery prospects sparking buying interest again.
Ethereum has traded between $2,366.99 and $2,458.30 thus far—a slip beneath $2,366.99 may indicate deeper corrections with eyes on support around $2,300 possibly forming? Yet if it crosses above $2,458.30 that might suggest bullish reversal tones inviting new buying activity.
Today’s Question
Signs of weakness abound—will BTC stay above that crucial $76K mark today or find ETH can hold onto its footing above $2,366?
