The cryptocurrency market is showing clear signs of fatigue as BTC USD Bitcoin and ETH Ethereum price crash today, erasing recent gains. Bitcoin has slipped decisively below the $67,000 support level, currently hovering around $65,000. This decline is accompanied by stalling momentum and falling trading volume, technical red flags that suggest the downturn may have further to go. Analysts from a Kitco report warn that the formation of a bear flag could see Bitcoin test the $63,000 level next. For any sustained recovery, BTC needs to decisively break out and form a higher local high, a reversal signal that remains absent.
Ethereum is mirroring this weakness, with the Ethereum price wrestling with the $2,100 level on poor volume. Its On-Balance Volume (OBV) and TBO indicators have turned more negative following a recent bearish sell-off. The broader market reflects a distinct risk-off mood, as evidenced by a surge in stablecoin dominance. This metric shows capital rotating out of volatile assets like Bitcoin and into defensive holdings like Tether (USDT), indicating investor caution. Meanwhile, Bitcoin dominance is easing slightly, though this is less about altcoin strength and more about them declining at a marginally slower pace than BTC.
Traditional financial markets are adding to the uncertainty. The US Dollar Index trades bearishly below its daily cloud, while key equity indices like the S&P 500 and Nasdaq show technical weakness. In the altcoin arena, most projects remain in bearish trends. Standouts are few, though ASTER shows relative strength. On the downside, assets like JASMY present shorting opportunities, and MYX suffered a dramatic 45% flash crash. For now, the path of least resistance for major cryptocurrencies appears downward until key technical structures are broken.
Short Summary
Bitcoin and Ethereum prices are under significant pressure, with BTC threatening a drop to $63,000 and ETH stuck at $2,100. Bearish technical signals and a flight to stablecoins highlight widespread market caution. Both assets require a confirmed higher high to signal any meaningful trend reversal, while altcoins largely flounder in their wake.
