Highlights
Amid the broader crypto market crash, liquidation numbers soared to more than $1 billion with the Bitcoin price dropping below $95,000 level. Altcoins like ETH, SOL, DOGE are seeing even greater selling pressure correcting 8-25%. While Bitcoin pullbacks are part of every market cycle, investors are curious as to how far the BTC correction will continue from here.
As the panic selloff intensifies further, the crypto market crash continues with Bitcoin price falling deeper from its crucial support of $100K. Crypto market analysts are predicting that a 25% Bitcoin pullback from its all-time high of $108K is very much possible going ahead. Popular crypto analyst Rekt Capital noted:
“For those saying that -25% or -30% pullbacks will definitely not occur in this cycle should study this year’s overall March-August -34% correction more closely. Or the multiple -25% pullbacks between March and August”.
Thus, if history repeats then BTC price can correct all the way to $80,000 again. Crypto analyst Rekt Capital has warned of a possible correction for Bitcoin, citing the persistence of a Bearish Engulfing Candle on the weekly chart. In a recent post, the analyst highlighted that the critical weekly support level at $101.2K is under pressure and struggling to hold.
The analyst further noted that if this key blue support region fails, along with Bitcoin’s 5-week uptrend (marked in orange), the cryptocurrency could likely transition into a broader correction phase.
As of press time, the Bitcoin price is trading 9% down at $93,828 with its market cap at $1.9 trillion. Analyst Ali Martinez noted that the key support zone for Bitcoin was between $98,830 to $95,830. Within this zone, approximately 1.09 million wallets collectively purchased over 1.16 million BTC, reinforcing its significance as a key price level.
The Coinglass data shows that the Bitcoin open interest has dropped 8% while the 24-hour liquidations have surged to $327 million with $270 million being long liquidations. Despite the current fall, the Bitcoin Fear and Greed Index remains in the “Greed” zone with a score of 62.
Market analysts believe that the crypto market correction can continue further amid a surge in the Dollar Index (DXY). Crypto analyst Justin Bennett emphasized the importance of tracking global liquidity trends, stating: “110.00 has been my US dollar target since the 102.60 reclaim, and I’m betting that area marks the crypto bottom in early 2025.”
The top altcoins also recorded gloomy trading amid a broader market selloff recently. The ETH price has corrected by a massive 9% in the last 24 hours losing the crucial support of $3,550 and is currently trading at $3,346. It is possible that Ethereum could retest $3,000 again before bouncing back.
Besides, the Ethereum whale selloff has also intensified recently. Blockchain analytics platform LookonChain reports that the recent decline in Ethereum’s price has prompted significant activity among large holders as they sell ETH to settle debts.
However, market analysts continue to be hopeful moving ahead. Popular analyst Ted Pillows wrote:
“$4K seems like the new $1.4K for Ethereum. In the 2020-21 cycle, ETH got rejected from $1,400 several times before a successful breakout. Right now, the same thing is happening with the $4K level, but there’ll be a breakout soon”.
Following the high of $263 in November, the Solana price has moved sideways and underperformed other altcoins of its league. Amid today crypto market crash, the SOL price has lost its crucial support of $200 and is currently trading at $193 as of press time.
Crypto analyst Lieutenant Ponzi has drawn attention to Solana’s (SOL) weekly chart, pointing out a significant order block (OB) and a bullish bat pattern. According to the analyst, the $165-$170 range is emerging as a critical area of interest, suggesting potential resistance or a reversal zone for the cryptocurrency.
The Dogecoin price today corrected by a massive 25% moving all the way to $0.27 as of press time. With this, the world’s largest meme coin has extended its weekly losses to more than 22%. The 24-hour liquidation data from Coinglass shows a 20% drop in open interest and $55 million in DOGE liquidations, of which $44 million is in long liquidation.
Despite this, market analysts continue to be optimistic about DOGE. Market analyst BALO has highlighted crucial price levels for Dogecoin’s (DOGE) weekly performance.
According to the analyst, a weekly close above $0.26 is necessary to maintain bullish momentum. Furthermore, if DOGE can reclaim the $0.42 level, BALO predicts a potential surge to $4, marking a significant upside for the popular meme coin.
