Key Takeaways
- Total crypto market cap’s shrunk by 5.3%, landing at $2834.23B.

- Ethereum offers traders key levels of support and resistance.
- We’re observing a decidedly bearish sentiment, with BTC and ETH spearheading declines.
Movers & Losers
Among the top ten cryptos, BTC and ETH took the biggest hits: BTC dropped by 2.8%, while ETH fell off by 5.0%. Not far behind, XRP decreased by 3.8%, and Zcash (ZEC) was down by 4.5%. Meanwhile, Tether (USDT) barely moved—still stable at $0.999845 over the last day (an entity unto itself). The overall market remains bearish as BTC and ETH lead declines.
Levels We’re Watching
Bitcoin’s been pinging between $83,610.00 and $86,648.00 over the last 24 hours. If Bitcoin can hold above that upper mark of $86,648.00, we might see a bounce back toward bullish sentiment (one to watch). But falling below $83,610 could mean more pressure on prices and potentially trigger selling.
Ethereum’s danced in a range from $2,575.67 to $2,723.16 this past day—pretty volatile stuff (not atypical). If it stays above that upper bound of $2,723.16 for long enough to matter? Might indicate bullish momentum’s building up steam. or not if it slips below $2,575.67.
Today’s Question
Will Bitcoin and Ethereum find footing here or keep slipping today?
