The crypto market on October 8th exhibited notable price fluctuations, catching the attention of investors. While Bitcoin (BTC) experienced a downward slide, certain altcoins like NEIRO and Sui emerged as top performers. This divergence in price movements has sparked speculation among investors worldwide, leaving many wondering about the market’s next direction.
Bitcoin and Ethereum See Declines
Bitcoin’s price fell by 1.5% over the past 24 hours, settling at $62,689. The lowest point of the day saw BTC dip to $62,152, with the highest being $64,443. Despite a $235.19 million influx into Bitcoin ETFs, the market saw a notable drop, raising concerns among investors. Analysts are attributing this to the possibility of the U.S. government selling 69,000 BTC, which could further increase selling pressure.
Ethereum (ETH), on the other hand, faced a sharper decline, losing nearly 3% in value. It is currently trading at $2,439, with the lowest daily price recorded at $2,405 and the highest at $2,520. The absence of significant inflows into spot Ethereum ETFs has heightened speculations among investors. Whale Alert data also highlighted a surge in ETH being moved to exchanges, potentially triggering the sell-off.
Solana and XRP Follow the Trend

Solana (SOL) also suffered losses, dropping over 3% in the last 24 hours to $145. Its daily low stood at $143.60, while the highest level reached was $152.10. Despite the broader downtrend in the market, some experts suggest that a short-term recovery for Solana is not out of the question.
XRP has similarly mirrored the declining trend, with a 2% drop, currently trading at $0.5322. The ongoing uncertainty in the legal battle between Ripple and the SEC continues to weigh heavily on XRP‘s price, contributing to the downward pressure.
Meme Coins and Top Gainers
The meme coin sector was not immune to the overall market decline. Dogecoin (DOGE) dropped 4%, and Shiba Inu (SHIB) followed suit with a similar 4% decline, now priced at $0.00001761. These losses have left many investors questioning the long-term viability of these highly volatile assets.
In contrast, a few cryptocurrencies managed to buck the trend and post significant gains. NEIRO saw a remarkable 19% increase, currently trading at $0.001727. Sui (SUI) also attracted attention with an 11% rise, pushing its price up to $2.10. These altcoins have continued to draw interest from investors, despite the broader market downturn. As always, The Bit Journal advises investors to conduct thorough research and carefully assess risks in this volatile market.
