Bitcoin Under Siege: Bearish Pressure Keeps Price Below $99,575
20.12.2024 18:00
Bitcoin is under intense bearish pressure as it struggles to reclaim the $99,575 mark, a key resistance level that has proven to be a significant hurdle. After an impressive rally earlier in the month, BTC’s momentum has slowed, with sellers taking control and keeping the cryptocurrency in a tight range below this critical threshold. The current price action highlights growing uncertainty in the market, as bulls attempt to regain strength while bears capitalize on every opportunity to push prices lower. With $99,575 marked as a pivotal point, the next moves could set the stage for Bitcoin’s short-term trend. Will the bulls manage a breakthrough, or will bearish dominance prevail? The coming days hold the answer. Bitcoin Struggles Below The Critical $99,575 Resistance Level Bitcoin is currently facing significant resistance at the $99,575 level as its price fights to break above this critical threshold.

Here’s Why The Bitcoin Price Continues To Hold Steady Between $96,000 And $98,000
20.12.2024 16:30
The Bitcoin price has dropped below the $100,000 psychological level and is now holding between the $96,000 and $98,000 range. Crypto analyst Ali Martinez provided insights into why Bitcoin could be holding well within this range.  Why The Bitcoin Price Is Holding Steady Between $96,000 And $98,000 In an X post, Ali Martinez noted that one of the most important support levels for the Bitcoin price is between $98,830 and $95,830, where 1.09 wallets bought over 1.16 million BTC. This explains why Bitcoin is holding steady between $96,000 and $98,000 as investors who bought between this level continue to provide huge support for the flagship crypto.  Related Reading: Dogecoin Trading Volume Rises Over $6.5 Billion As Liquidations Cross $31 Million, What’s Going On?

Why Is Ripple’s XRP Down? Fed Policy and ETF Outflows Weigh on Crypto
Why Is Ripple’s XRP Down? Fed Policy and ETF Outflows Weigh on Crypto
20.12.2024 15:11
Ripple’s XRP dropped nearly 10% in the past day as the crypto market faced downward pressure. This downtrend, which has wiped 7% off the global market cap, followed a federal reserve rate cut and a significant outflow from Bitcoin-focused ETFs. The Federal Reserve's announcement of a 0.25% rate cut, coupled with Jerome Powell’s cautious outlook for 2024, triggered a wave of selling in crypto markets. Data from CoinMarketCap shows that the overall crypto market capitalization is down 7% to $3.28 trillion. Federal Reserve Sparks Market SelloffWhile the rate reduction was widely anticipated, Powell’s suggestion of a pause in monetary easing caught investors off guard. Inflation concerns and uncertainty around fiscal policies added further pressure.Adding to the turmoil, spot Bitcoin ETFs reportedly recorded massive outflows, with more than $600 million withdrawn in just 24 hours. High-profile ETFs like Fidelity’s FBTC and Grayscale’s BTC accounted for the biggest share, CryptoPotato [...]

Is The Bitcoin Top In For This Cycle? On-Chain Signals You Need To Know
Is The Bitcoin Top In For This Cycle? On-Chain Signals You Need To Know
20.12.2024 15:00
Bitcoin’s price retracement from its new all-time high of $108,353 on Tuesday to around $96,000 (a -11.5% pullback) has ignited intense speculation about whether the current bull cycle is nearing its peak. To address growing uncertainty, Rafael Schultze-Kraft, co-founder of on-chain analytics provider Glassnode, released a thread on X detailing 18 on-chain metrics and models. “Where is the Bitcoin TOP?” Schultze-Kraft asked, before laying out his detailed analysis. Has Bitcoin Reached Its Cycle Top? 1/ MVRV Ratio: A longstanding measure of unrealized profitability, the MVRV ratio compares market value to realized value. Historically, readings above 7 signaled overheated conditions. “Currently hovering around 3 – room to grow,” Schultze-Kraft noted. This suggests that, in terms of aggregate unrealized profit, the market is not yet at levels that have previously coincided with macro tops. 2/ MVRV Pricing Bands: These bands are derived from the number of days MVRV has spent at extreme [...]
