Crypto Market Steadies: BTC ~$102K, ETH Slides

The crypto market held around $3.4 trillion in capitalization with daily volumes near $163 billion. Bitcoin traded near $102,000, dipping below $101,000 before rebounding, and was down about 2% over 24 hours. Ethereum slid to approximately $3,336, down over 3% for the day. ETF flows remain mixed: Bitcoin ETFs saw net outflows of $137 million and Ethereum ETFs lost $118 million, while Solana spot funds attracted $9.7 million in net inflows. On-chain data shows significant whale accumulation of 394,682 ETH (around $1.37 billion) in three days. The Crypto Fear & Greed Index rose to 24 (“Fear”), signaling cautious sentiment. Analysts cite $105,000–$107,000 as Bitcoin resistance with support near $98,500–$100,000; Ethereum faces resistance at $3,450 and support at $3,300 and $3,150. Altcoins like XRP, BNB, ADA, LINK and DOGE were mostly lower, with DOGE flat around $0.16 despite Elon Musk’s “It’s time” post. This consolidation phase reflects neutral market dynamics amid ETF outflows, whale buying and mixed U.S. economic data.
