The crypto market took a surprising turn today, with mixed price movements creating speculation among global investors. Earlier this week, Bitcoin (BTC) was pushing towards the $70,000 mark, but now it seems to be stabilizing at around $66,000. While Bitcoin managed to hold its ground, other major cryptocurrencies like Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), and XRP struggled to gain momentum. Interestingly, POPCAT and BEAM defied the market trend, emerging as the day’s top performers.
Bitcoin and Ethereum Prices Today
As of today, Bitcoin has dropped by 0.5% in the last 24 hours, currently trading at $66,960. Its lowest price today was $66,612, while its highest reached $67,801. Despite the dip, Bitcoin’s dominance in the market increased by 0.16%, reaching 57.30%. However, pressure on the price remains high due to a $79.09 million outflow from spot Bitcoin ETFs. According to Whale Alert, large BTC transactions surged in the past 24 hours, keeping investor interest alive.
On the other hand, Ethereum saw a near 1% drop, trading at $2,607. Its lowest point today was $2,600, while its highest peaked at $2,657. Despite a positive inflow of $11.94 million into spot Ethereum ETFs, the price continues to reflect the overall downtrend in the market. Currently, Ethereum’s market cap stands at $314.16 billion.
Solana and XRP Prices Today
Solana (SOL) experienced a 0.5% drop, now trading at $165. Its daily range was between $163 and $170. Solana’s market cap is valued at $77.78 billion. A 40,000 SOL sale on the Pump Fun platform contributed to its price decline, sparking concern among investors.
XRP, meanwhile, lost 2% of its value and is now priced at $0.531. XRP’s daily lowest price hit $0.530, while its highest reached $0.548. Its market cap currently stands at $30.11 billion. Notably, Ripple’s recent large XRP transfers have raised eyebrows, creating speculation in the market.
Winners and Losers in Today’s Crypto Market
Amid the market’s struggles, BEAM and POPCAT stood out as the top performers. BEAM saw a significant 6% rise, trading at $0.01969, while POPCAT also increased by nearly 6%, now priced at $1.41. Despite the market’s overall bearish sentiment, these two cryptocurrencies managed to buck the trend, capturing the attention of investors.
Conversely, ApeCoin (APE), dYdX (DYDX), and Mog Coin (MOG) were the biggest losers today. APE saw a massive 15% drop, falling to $1.31. DYDX lost 10%, now trading at $1.10. MOG followed with a 9% decline, priced at $0.000001913.
