there\u2019s talk that a slip below $112,000 could trigger another rapid drop, but so far, bulls are digging in their heels.<\/p>\n<p class=\"my-2 [&amp;+p]:mt-4 [&amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [&amp;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2\"><a href=\"https:\/\/coinjournal.net\/news\/ethereum-price-forecast-analysts-reveal-shocking-targets-after-the-1-5b-liquidation-bloodbath\/\">Ethereum<\/a> is also fighting for higher ground, currently near $4,200.<\/p>\n<p class=\"my-2 [&amp;+p]:mt-4 [&amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [&amp;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2\">Its weekly loss is steeper than Bitcoin\u2019s, about 7% and analysts see ETF outflows and seasonal September trading patterns in play.<\/p>\n<p class=\"my-2 [&amp;+p]:mt-4 [&amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [&amp;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2\">For Solana, it\u2019s a similar story, with sellers driving the price toward $216, the coin shedding more than 2% in the latest session, and short-term holders running for cover.<\/p>\n<p class=\"my-2 [&amp;+p]:mt-4 [&amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [&amp;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2\">XRP has been a mild outlier, eking out some gains where most heavyweights reversed. It bounced up to around $2.86 and stayed resilient after threatening a breakdown below key support.<\/p>\n<p class=\"my-2 [&amp;+p]:mt-4 [&amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [&amp;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2\">DOGE, however, lost some of its shine, dropping just over 1% today as meme coin enthusiasm fizzled after the big liquidations.<\/p>\n<p class=\"my-2 [&amp;+p]:mt-4 [&amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [&amp;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2\">Even with all the noise, the big coins aren\u2019t in catastrophic territory, but the road to recovery is littered with caution tape.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mb-2 mt-4 font-display font-semimedium text-base first:mt-0\">Market update: News and broader trends<\/h2>\n<p class=\"my-2 [&amp;+p]:mt-4 [&amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [&amp;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2\">This latest bout of selling is being blamed on a handful of big-picture trends.<\/p>\n<p class=\"my-2 [&amp;+p]:mt-4 [&amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [&amp;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2\">First and foremost, traders point to the Fed\u2019s mixed messaging, a rate cut that should excite risk assets paradoxically made the US dollar even stronger, making it tougher for speculative bets on crypto to thrive.<\/p>\n<p class=\"my-2 [&amp;+p]:mt-4 [&amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [&amp;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2\">Huge liquidations have unfolded, with more than $1.65 billion in leveraged longs forced out of the market.<\/p>\n<p class=\"my-2 [&amp;+p]:mt-4 [&amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [&amp;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2\">Meme coins bore the brunt of the panic, but strong institutional flows suggest bigger players are sticking to their long game.<\/p>\n<p class=\"my-2 [&amp;+p]:mt-4 [&amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [&amp;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2\">Regulatory uncertainty is a running theme, debates in the US and Europe over tougher anti-money laundering rules and crypto tax policies have stoked investor anxiety.<\/p>\n<p class=\"my-2 [&amp;+p]:mt-4 [&amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [&amp;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2\">There are also worries over trade tensions and new tariffs added to US imports from India, Taiwan, and Canada, further muddying the waters and keeping risk appetite subdued.<\/p>\n<p class=\"my-2 [&amp;+p]:mt-4 [&amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [&amp;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2\">Yet there\u2019s a strange sense of optimism simmering.<\/p>\n<p class=\"my-2 [&amp;+p]:mt-4 [&amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [&amp;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2\">Many believe the panic has set the stage for a more sustainable rally later in the year, especially if macro and regulatory conditions stabilize.<\/p>\n<p class=\"my-2 [&amp;+p]:mt-4 [&amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [&amp;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2\">Institutional adoption, fresh network upgrades, and the possibility of new Bitcoin-related policies, perhaps even news from President Trump\u2019s upcoming speech, are keeping hope alive that the tide could turn before year-end.<\/p>\n<div class=\"post-meta\">\n<hr class=\"mb-6\"\/>\n<h6 class=\"text-3xl  mb-4  text-green-300\">Share this article<\/h6>\n<hr class=\"mb-6\"\/>\n<h6 class=\"text-3xl  mb-4  text-green-300\">Categories<\/h6>\n<hr class=\"mb-6\"\/>\n<h6 class=\"text-3xl  mb-4  text-green-300\">Tags<\/h6>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/coinjournal.net\/news\/crypto-market-news-btc-near-112k-eth-drops-below-4200-as-fear-grips-traders\/\">Source link <\/a><br \/>\n<br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(Originally posted on : CoinJournal: Latest Crypto News, Altcoin News and Cryptocurrency Comparison ) Bitcoin hovers above $112K, with bulls defending key support.
