Crypto Winners & Losers
At the time of writing, only two of the 10 coins per market capitalization have seen their prices rise over the past 24 hours.
Bitcoin (BTC) has appreciated by 0.4% since this time yesterday, meaning it’s mostly unchanged, currently trading at $91,757.
Ethereum (ETH) is down by 2.2%, now changing hands at $3,008. This is the second-highest drop in the category.
The highest decrease is 2.3% by Binance Coin (BNB), which currently stands at $900.
The only other green coins is Solana (SOL), which appreciated 1.9% to $142.

Cosmos Hub (ATOM) appreciated by 13.5% to the price of $3.1.
It’s followed by Zcash (ZEC), which is up 8.7%, trading at $670.

Cronos (CRO) is in the second place, having dropped 3.8% to $0.1081.
According to Glassnode, the market is “searching for stability, where the path forward depends on whether demand can re-emerge around key cost-basis levels or whether current fragility gives way to a deeper corrective phase or bear market.”
‘Bitcoin Could Fall Further’
Zondacrypto’s CEO Przemysław Kral commented on Bitcoin’s price moves, saying that the coin has fallen to its lowest level in months. Moreover, “there is potential for it to decrease further.”
“The market is reacting to wider economic uncertainty, in particular concerns about a potential AI-driven stock correction and diminishing hopes for interest-rate cuts from the Federal Reserve,” Kral writes.
However, large BTC holders are still buying. “This is a sign of underlying strength and confidence in the project, even though the price is falling. For some, this could be a chance to enter the market at a lower price than we’ve seen recently. Therefore, it is important to recognise the risks. Volatility is high and the macro environment can change quickly.”
Kral concludes that “in times like these, remaining informed and taking a thoughtful, steady approach is far more effective than trying to react to every big market shift.”
Moreover, Björn Schmidtke, Chief Executive Officer of Aurelion, Nasdaq’s first Tether Gold treasury, stated that the recent volatility across digital asset markets has renewed focus on foundational assets.
“While market sentiment frequently fluctuates, this shift presents a strategic opportunity to capitalize on proven value and structural resilience,” says Schmidtke, adding that the future will see gold and digital assets converging, not competing.
Levels & Events to Watch Next
At the time of writing on Thursday morning, BTC stood at $91,757. The coin moved between the intraday high of $92,943 and the low of $88,540. This dip into the $88,000 territory was brief though, with the price swiftly recovering to the current level.
BTC is now down 11.5% in a week and 14.8% in a month. Additionally, it’s 27.1% away from its all-time high.
If BTC manages to break through to the $99,000 level, it could retest $115,000. However, should it move lower, it could test critical zones between $83,800 and $75,000.

Overall, the coin is now down nearly 15% in a week, 22.6% in a month, and 39% from the ATH.
ETH could move above $3,100, further breaking through the $3,250 zone, should the bulls run the market. Conversely, the price could decrease to the $2,800 level and then towards $2,730.
Meanwhile, the crypto market sentiment stands unmoved within the extreme fear zone. The crypto fear and greed index has gone back to 15 today, compared to 16 yesterday.
The last time the level was this low was in mid-April 2025.
It seems that both new and old hands are selling this time around. Many are concerned over the dropping prices, worried about an incoming bear market. That said, once oversold, the market may be ready for a rebound.
