The crypto markets, alas, have suffered a most grievous tumble this past week, a bearish spectacle indeed!
Though a bullish flutter did attempt to revive spirits over the weekend, it proved but a fleeting fancy.
No sooner had Bitcoin, that most fickle of currencies, regained its composure, than it promptly shed all
its gains like a lady discarding last season’s bonnet. Currently, the Bitcoin price, having descended
below the pivotal support at $102,800, has dragged the majority of its altcoin companions down with it, a
most unfortunate chain of events. 😥
Ethereum, once so promising, has slumped below $2400, while Solana languishes near $160. XRP, poor thing,
is edging closer to the barrier at $2.3, and Cardano totters towards the crucial $0.7 mark. And as for the
memecoins, those frivolous tokens of the digital age, they have faced a truly devastating bearish onslaught.
BOOK OK MEME, a name most curious, has recorded a loss of over 10%, followed by dogwifhat, Fartcoin (one shudders
to think!), and Mog Coin, each suffering an 8% drop. Not a single token seems to be attracting gains, a
situation which suggests the bears have well and truly capitulated the market. 🐻
Why is the Crypto Market Down?
Multiple culprits, beyond mere Bitcoin profit-taking, have conspired to bring about this crypto market plunge.
The drop in ETF inflows, a security breach at Coinbase (oh, the scandal!), and a regulatory crackdown on the
illicit activities of Haowang Guarantee, one of the largest online black markets, all contribute to the
melancholy scene. Furthermore, the market’s inherent volatility has triggered substantial liquidations, with
over $650 million worth of positions being swept away in the digital storm. 🌪️
One of the chief reasons for the downfall, affecting not only the crypto markets but also the stock markets,
is Moody’s decision to downgrade the US credit rating. Moreover, the agency has issued a stern warning that
the country’s fiscal outlook is deteriorating, as the national debt has ballooned to over $36.8 trillion from
$21 trillion in 2020, a figure believed only to swell further. 💸
What’s Next? Will Bitcoin Price Go Up?
The lowered prices of Bitcoin have, once again, piqued the interest of the institutions. MicroStrategy, ever
eager, has accumulated a further 7,390 BTC. Meanwhile, XRP and Micro XRP Futures are now live on the CME
Group, bestowing upon them a major credibility upgrade with institutional futures. And let us not forget
BlackRock’s BTC ETF, IBIT, which has pulled in nearly double the inflows of the GOLD ETF in 2025. A most
impressive feat! 🏆
Hence, the momentum appears to be cooling, yet the structure remains bullish, for retail investors are piling
in while the whales quietly accumulate off-exchange. Sentiment is warming without quite tipping into mania.
The BTC MACD, however, flashes a near-term caution with a bearish crossover, and open interest has pulled back,
signalling reduced leverage and some profit-taking. Therefore, one can anticipate a chop or a reset unless
buyers step up quickly. 🤨
Besides, the stablecoin inflows on exchanges are rising, and should the Bitcoin price manage to climb back above
$107K on real volume, the upside trend could accelerate. But for now, the risk of consolidation or a shallow
dip remains very much in play. One must, as always, proceed with caution. 🧐
