Bitcoin's current market structure is similar to its setup before reaching its all-time high in November 2021, suggesting a potential bullish trajectory for the leading cryptocurrency, according to crypto expert Credible Crypto, who believes a breakout from the accumulation range could lead to a 120% rally and new all-time highs this year. However, a drop below $24.8k would invalidate this prediction.
Crypto analyst Ali Martinez predicts that Ethereum may face a significant price correction, dropping to $1,000 due to weak network fundamentals and a bearish trend.
Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are facing intense pressure as prices drop and short-term holders offload their assets, signaling a possible capitulation phase and suggesting further downside potential. Additionally, major altcoins like Ethereum, Solana, and Cardano have witnessed a decline in their Total Value Locked (TVL) over the past week, indicating a decrease in popularity and utilization in the decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystem.
The cryptocurrency market has experienced a notable downturn, with the total market capitalization falling by 10% and triggering significant liquidations on futures contracts, attributed to factors such as rising interest rates, inflation, delays in approving a Bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF), financial difficulties within the Digital Currency Group (DCG), regulatory tightening, and a strengthening US dollar.
Bitcoin and Ether both rose over 3% as the crypto market recovered from its losses last week, while alternative cryptocurrencies also saw gains; however, experts remain divided on the future of prices, with some predicting continued downtrend and others expecting a rebound.
Bitcoin and Ether rose over 3% to reach their highest prices in a week, while Solana, NEAR, Cardano, Polkadot, and Binance's altcoins also experienced gains, following a surge in traditional markets; however, experts predict that the downtrend in digital assets may continue for the next few weeks.
Analyst Nicholas Mertens warns that both Bitcoin and Ethereum are likely to face significant challenges and potential price declines, with Ethereum at risk of breaking support and dropping below $1,000 due to a lack of buyers.
Ethereum's support range of $1,600 - $1,550 is crucial to prevent a potential correction of 37% to 45%, with co-founder Vitalik Buterin moving 600 ETH to Coinbase possibly signaling an anticipated dip to $1,000.
Cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin and Ethereum, experienced a rise in value as investors anticipated the Federal Reserve's annual meeting and Bitcoin attempted to reach $30,000.
Crypto analyst Benjamin Cowen believes that Ethereum (ETH) needs to drop further before it can reach new all-time highs, as it must first align with its fair-value logarithmic regression trendline, creating an attractive accumulation range between $400 and $600.
Bitcoin's price rose nearly 5% to just below $26,800, driven by a rally in traditional markets and increased trading volumes, while bankrupt exchange FTX seeks to sell its crypto holdings with the help of Galaxy Digital and Binance discontinues its crypto-backed debit card in Latin America and the Middle East.
Large ether (ETH) investors took advantage of lower prices following a market tumble to accumulate $94 million worth of ETH, while large bitcoin investors added $309 million worth of BTC to their wallets.
Bitcoin remains on track for a massive bull cycle despite recent price decline, as indicated by broader indicators of its price patterns and the use of logarithmic growth curves. The 200-week moving average is seen as less significant as a key price support level for Bitcoin, and the analyst is also looking for an entry point for Ethereum.
Crypto analyst Michaël van de Poppe believes that Ethereum's current price dip could be due to Bitcoin's upcoming halving, and suggests that BTC may follow the path of commodities, while naming certain altcoins, including ARB, OP, INJ, SUI, PEPE, and DOGE, that he's keeping an eye on.
Google Bard, an artificial intelligence bot, predicts that the lowest price Bitcoin could reach in 2023 is $20,759, based on analyses by financial experts, with some projecting even lower at $12,000 and others more bullish at $30,000 or higher. Factors such as sticky inflation drivers, increased regulatory scrutiny, and potential catalysts like institutional adoption and the launch of a Bitcoin ETF could influence Bitcoin's price in the coming months.
Ethereum's price has surpassed Bitcoin's in the second half of 2023, as investor sentiment towards Ethereum has improved and Bitcoin dominance has declined, indicating a shift towards altcoins; Ethereum's oversold status and resilient consolidation above $1,500 suggest a potential bullish reversal in the coming days, but a drop below $1,500 is possible if bears gain control.
Bitcoin (BTC) price remains stagnant and could potentially slide lower, while Ethereum (ETH) and Ripple (XRP) prices are also experiencing a lack of activity, which may have negative implications as markets tend to be impatient.
The Federal Reserve's plan to raise interest rates could lead to increased sell pressure on Bitcoin, potentially pushing its price down to the $25,000 range, although the impact may be limited due to consolidation and caution among traders.
The Ethereum price is currently in a consolidation phase between $1700 and $1577, but a breakout above $1700 could trigger a significant pullback in the downtrend, potentially pushing the price up by 8%. However, if the support level at $1577 is broken, the price could fall by 8.5% to $1450.
Bitcoin and Ether remain stable as cryptocurrency investor sentiment remains cautious, although JPMorgan analysts report a slowdown in downward price momentum, and the Forkast 500 NFT Index gains after a surge in sales of Donald Trump's signature NFT collection following his arrest.
Bitcoin pulled back from its all-time high above $28,000 as investors analyzed the implications of Grayscale's court victory against the SEC, with the cryptocurrency dropping 2% to $27,240, while Ether decreased 1.7% to just above $1,700, leading to a decline in the broader crypto market.
Bitcoin's price dropped below $26,000 as the approval of a Bitcoin ETF was further delayed by the SEC, reversing the bullish gains from the Grayscale court decision earlier in the week. The crypto market also experienced a decline, with Ethereum's price going down by 3.5% and the overall market cap losing $11.2 billion. However, Maker and Toncoin managed to resist the bearish trend with positive gains. The global macroeconomic landscape also added to the uncertainty, as key economic data raised doubts about a potential interest rate hike.
Some altcoins like OKB, Ocean Protocol (OCEAN), Bitcoin Cash (BCH), and Toncoin (TON) show potential for bullish trends in September, with OKB potentially hitting a new all-time high at $72.10. However, a breakdown in the support areas could result in bearish trends for these cryptocurrencies.
The price of bitcoin fell nearly 1% in the past 24 hours to below $25,700, following a surge last week after Grayscale's court victory, while the announcement of extended oil production cuts by Saudi Arabia and Russia could be bearish for bitcoin prices. However, Solana's SOL token saw a 3.7% increase after Visa's announcement of expanding its stablecoin settlement capabilities with Circle's USDC stablecoin to the Solana blockchain.
Ether (ETH) is expected to outperform bitcoin (BTC) in the short term due to the likely approval of a futures-based ETF, creating buying pressure and potentially boosting ether's price, according to crypto market analytics firm K33 Research.
Analysts from crypto research firm K33 claim that the potential approval of a spot Bitcoin ETF is underestimated by the market, stating that it would attract significant inflows and increase buying pressure for Bitcoin, while a rejection would have a negligible impact on prices; they also predict that Ether is likely to outperform Bitcoin in the next two months.
Bitcoin (BTC) has remained stagnant below $26,000, with investors waiting for further developments in the cryptocurrency market and the wider economy, while Ether (ETH) is expected to outperform BTC in September and October due to the potential approval of the first ether ETF in mid-October. Additionally, SOMA Finance plans to sell tokens that represent a financial interest, addressing the criticism that crypto tokens lack equity or debt claims. Binance continues to dominate the crypto market as the leading exchange.
The price of bitcoin briefly rose above $25,900 after the FASB approved favorable accounting treatment for companies holding crypto on their balance sheets and ARK Invest submitted paperwork for a spot ether ETF, but quickly returned to its previous level.
Bitcoin's weak performance and its potential "double top" structure raise concerns of more downside, with predictions of new local lows; however, there are indications that Bitcoin may experience a major shakeout before rebounding to "fair value" and the 200-week EMA near $25,600 may offer some optimism; debate ensues over the possibility of Bitcoin filling the $20,000 CME futures gap; liquidity levels on BTC/USD markets continue to increase, adding to bearish predictions; ahead of the Federal Reserve meeting, the United States Consumer Price Index (CPI) data release on September 14 brings potential volatility to the market and may impact crypto market expectations.
A crypto analyst predicts that Ethereum (ETH) could experience a significant crash and drop to the $400-$800 range, potentially causing losses for both bulls and bears in the market.
FTX, a bankrupt crypto exchange, is seeking court approval to liquidate $3.4 billion in cryptocurrencies, with a maximum offload of $100 million per week, potentially impacting the market in a more gradual manner rather than causing a sharp fall in asset prices; this article examines the price movements and potential impact on Solana (SOL), Dogecoin (DOGE), and Aptos (APT).
Crypto markets experienced a decline as FTX's potential selling pressure raised concerns, causing Bitcoin to fall below $25,000 for the first time since mid-June, and altcoins to underperform, particularly Solana (SOL).
Bitcoin is on the brink of a bearish breakdown, but there is a possibility that the $25,000 support level could hold, presenting a short-term buying opportunity for investors. The price action of the US dollar and on-chain data suggest that buyers could return soon, making the current situation potentially profitable for opening Bitcoin longs.
The recent decline in the price of Bitcoin has raised concerns of a larger market downtrend, with Ethereum and Ripple also at risk of falling if Bitcoin weakens further.
Analyst Bluntz predicts that Ethereum (ETH) will continue its bearish price action and potentially drop to $1,440 before rallying, while other trader Benjamin Cowen believes the digital asset could experience a massive freefall, potentially reaching lows below $800.
Cryptocurrency prices remained stable as inflation in the U.S. surpassed economists' expectations, with Bitcoin trading at around $26,100 and Ethereum experiencing a slight dip of 0.5%. The Federal Reserve will consider this report, among other factors, for its upcoming interest rate announcement on September 20. While inflation has decreased since June, it still exceeds the Fed's target of 2% annually. Core inflation, excluding volatile food and energy costs, decreased to 4.3% in August compared to July's 4.7%.
The implementation of Ethereum's proof-of-stake (PoS) consensus mechanism has resulted in a net supply reduction of 299,922.50 ether (ETH), making it a deflationary currency; however, the upgrade has failed to boost ether's market valuations compared to bitcoin, but the upcoming EIP-4844 upgrade aims to reduce gas fees and increase transaction throughput, which could potentially be a catalyst for Ether investors.
The price of Bitcoin is slightly lower but still up 2% from a week ago, as concerns over a potential market dump by FTX are mitigated by positive news from Franklin Templeton and Deutsche Bank, although altcoins show weakness.
Ether's price has recovered 6% after hitting a critical support level, but questions remain about whether it can reach $1,850 due to challenges such as regulatory uncertainty, high network fees, and declining smart contract activity. Additionally, derivatives metrics indicate reduced interest from leveraged long positions, suggesting a bearish sentiment in the market.
Bitcoin, ethereum, BNB, and XRP have experienced a strong price rally in 2023, but a small cryptocurrency has surpassed them, while the Federal Reserve's interest rate decisions could impact the bitcoin price.
Bitcoin (BTC) surpasses $27,000, while ether (ETH) holds support levels, but interest-rate decisions this week may bring downward pressure; overall market capitalization grows just 0.4% in the past 24 hours.
The introduction of a bitcoin ETF could increase accessibility, liquidity, and institutional adoption, potentially stabilizing prices and attracting capital from mainstream investors, similar to the impact of gold ETFs on the gold market.
Ether (ETH) has experienced a modest increase in price in 2023, but it is still trading significantly below its peak in November 2021, raising questions among investors about the reasons behind the decline and potential catalysts for a reversal. The ongoing legal battle between Ripple and the SEC, as well as regulatory uncertainties surrounding the Ethereum ICO, remain sources of concern. However, positive surprises such as the request for a spot Ether ETF and Ethereum's position to benefit from Bitcoin-related catalysts give hope to investors.
The Federal Reserve's decision to maintain interest rates and raise its long-term forecast for the Federal Funds Rate surprised many market participants, causing a slight pullback in the stock and cryptocurrency markets while highlighting the need for investors to focus on the actual health and viability of companies and the utility of the crypto ecosystem. Additionally, the article speculates on the impact of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission's ruling on Bitcoin spot ETF applications and the potential for cryptocurrency to become a mainstream alternative investment.
Ether (ETH) has dropped 2% this week, with prices expected to remain steady due to hedging activity of options market makers, who will buy low and sell high in the spot market to limit price volatility.
Ether (ETH) has shifted from being deflationary to inflationary due to decreasing network activity on Ethereum, which could negatively impact the token's price, according to analysts. The decline in network fees and the adoption of layer 2 networks have contributed to the increase in ETH supply, reversing its previous deflationary trend. This has raised concerns among crypto observers who predict bearish developments for ETH, including a potential drop to as low as $1,000.
