Movers & Losers
Zcash (ZEC) saw the biggest tumble among top cryptocurrencies—falling 12.4% to land at $1,083.49. suggesting a shift away from privacy coins amid a broader sell-off. On a different note, Figure Heloc (FIGR_HELOC) held its ground at $1.04 with no fluctuation whatsoever, perhaps offering some respite for those navigating larger asset declines.
Levels We’re Watching
Bitcoin (BTC)’s trading range over the last day stretches from $80,444.00 to $83,791.00; slipping under $80,444 may hint at deeper corrections towards the $75,000 support mark, but pushing past $83,791 could hint at a short-term bull move and target resistance near $85,000 instead.
Ethereum (ETH) is moving between two price points: $2,332.43 and $2,514.81 currently; if it falls below that lower bound ($2,332), it might suggest further weakness towards testing around the $2,200 area; breaking above that upper range could indicate some recovery traction that’s worth following.
