Ethereum, altcoins risk more downside than Bitcoin if BTC losses $30K, warns analyst
Altcoin traders and investors should look for cover if Bitcoin (BTC) undergoes major price declines. So believes Filbfilb, an independent market analyst and co-founder of Decentrader trading suite. In a tweet published late Friday, the pseudonymous entity said a 30% crash in the Bitcoin market could prompt altcoins to drop twice as harder. When Bitcoin consolidated between $50,000 and $60,000 in the March-May period, altcoins exploded. Similarly, the recent correction in the Bitcoin market, which witnessed the flagship cryptocurrency falling from circa $65,000 to as low as $28,000, also had altcoins crash; still, to the levels, they held as support …

The U.S. central bank has indicated that it would tolerate …

XRP price will fall to new lows vs. Bitcoin if this famous chart pattern plays out
Ripple blockchain’s native token, XRP, could make a full bearish price swing against Bitcoin (BTC), per a classic technical indicator.

Bitcoin bounce from $28.8K activates century-old financial model's bullish thesis
A recent upswing in the price of Bitcoin (BTC) following a nail-biting price crash below $30,000 on June 22 has activated a classic financial model's bullish outlook on the cryptocurrency. Called the Wyckoff method — created by Richard Wyckoff in 1888 — the model attempts to navigate financial market trends based on the relationship between the supply and demand of assets. The method has two schematics: accumulation and distribution. In an accumulation setup, an asset signals bottoming out following a sharper price decline. It eventually leads to the price rebounding to the upside. Meanwhile, the distribution setup sees the asset …

3 reasons why Solana bounced harder than Bitcoin and Ethereum
An overnight bounce across the cryptocurrency assets this Wednesday saw Solana (SOL) outpacing its top rivals, including Bitcoin (BTC) and Ether (ETH). The SOL/USD exchange rate surged 55.10% to $31.58 on Wednesday after bottoming out at $20.14 in the previous session. Its move uphill came in the wake of an overall crypto market retracement that, in turn, followed a brutal crash in response to a full-fledged crypto ban in China. Solana was among the loss-bearers at the beginning of this week. SOL/USD plunged by more than 42% after opening Monday at $35.22. Similarly, Bitcoin lost 19.07% in the same period, …

Bitcoin price bounces to $33K but analysts say ‘it’s too early’ to call a bottom
Cryptocurrency investors found little reprieve on June 22 as the price of Bitcoin (BTC) fell below $30,000 for the first time since January, sparking panic among less experienced market participants who have yet to experience a full market cycle. While Bitcoin has been under increasing pressure from multiple sources since early May, the most recent bout of selling has been largely attributed to capitulation by China-based miners who have been forced to abruptly shut down their operations. Data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro and TradingView shows that after dropping to $28,800, Bitcoin price bounced back above the $30,000 level and currently …

Bitcoin (BTC) plunged 7.38% to hit a five-month low of $29,313 on June 22 as the market faced the prospect of another sell-off, this time led by miners affected by a recent crackdown against cryptocurrency entities in China. The People's Bank of China said on June 21 that it had summoned multiple regional institutions — including the Agricultural Bank of China, China Construction Bank, Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, and Jack Ma's payment platform, Alipay — to “strictly implement” its recent ordinances on curbing Bitcoin- and other cryptocurrency-related activities, including mining.

Classic bearish chart pattern forms for Bitcoin as BTC price tumbles to $32K

The flagship cryptocurrency continued its price declines into the new weekly session, hitting $32,105 ahead of the London opening bell following an approximately 10% intraday drop. In doing so, it raised the prospect of retesting its quarter-to-date low of $30,000 for either a bearish breakdown or a bullish pullback. But as traders grapple with the ongoing medium-term bias conflict in the Bitcoin market, one classic technical pattern has surfaced to boost a bearish outlook.
