The post Why Bitcoin, Ethereum, and XRP Price are Down Today? appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News
The crypto market is traversing through a sharp pullback today, largely due to profit-taking after a notable uptrend. That surge was previously fueled by lower U.S. inflation data, strong Chinese tech earnings, and optimism surrounding a U.S.-China trade deal. However, investor caution has returned, particularly with Producer Price Index figures on the horizon, and the $3.1 billion options expiry.
The volatility has been evident in the numbers in the crypto market. At the time of press, the global crypto market cap has fallen by 2.24% to $3.29 trillion, with 24-hour trading volume down 22.55% to $118.77 billion. The tremors can be felt in Bitcoin, Ethereum, and XRP prices, and we will be exploring what lies ahead for the top 3 cryptos.
Bitcoin price is now trading at $102,3098.18, with a 1.65% drop since yesterday. BTC’s market cap now hovers around $2.03T, while trading volume has slipped by 11.28% to $44.85B. Talking about BTC’s price bandwidth today, it briefly touched a daily low of $101,540.87 and hit a high of $104,303.57.

Looking at the chart, Bitcoin faces immediate resistance at $105,000, and if bulls mark that level, it could make another attempt at the psychological resistance at $110,000. On the flip side, support at $101,000 is critical, a break below this could hammer the price toward the $100,000 level.

Ethereum has retraced back 2.44% since yesterday to $2,556.63, with a steep drop of 38.89% in intraday volume now at $23.47B. ETH’s market cap has slipped to $308.88B. ETH found support at $2,517.25, while facing resistance near $2,645.07.

The RSI sits in the overbought territory, yet indicates that bullish momentum remains intact for now. Should ETH bounce off its 200-day EMA at $2,431, it may rally again toward the $2,645.07 resistance, after encountering one at $2,517.25. And possibly retest $3,000, a major psychological hurdle. However, a daily close below the 200-day EMA could open doors for a retreat toward $2,000 support.

XRP is currently trading at $2.47, with a sharp 5.72% decline, with market cap and volume both reflecting bearish pressure. The coin hit a low of $2.45 and was capped at a high of $2.62 in the last 24 hours.

Technicals show XRP facing immediate resistance at $2.50, and a break above could fuel a push toward the $3 psychological level. However, any deeper correction may drag XRP down to its 50-day EMA around the $2.20 support level, which could serve as a make-or-break zone.
