Crypto Market Today: Market Resilient As BTC, ETH, XRP Prevent Any Major Downfall

Despite the broader market volatility brewing in recent days, Bitcoin and top assets have prevented major price downturns, although they are moving sideways and consolidating. Notably, BTC, ETH, XRP, and SOL prices were down slightly by 1%-3% from yesterday. Meme coins also witnessed a fall of roughly 2% intraday. Also, the AI Coins sector saw NEAR, ICP, and FIL mimic a similar slumping action.

Flagship Crypto At $104K Amid Broader Market Turbulence

As of press time, BTC price indicated a nearly 1% drop in value and is resting at $104,240. The flagship crypto’s 24-hour low and high were $103,805.97 and $107,098.55, respectively. Looking at the broader price chart, it can be seen that the asset is currently moving sideways, flagging a consolidation period. Nevertheless, Bitcoin’s dominance rose by 0.20% from yesterday, reaching 57.84%.

Notably, the flagship crypto consolidates and prevents a fall despite $1.24 billion worth of inflows into the spot Bitcoin ETFs, as per weekly data by SosoValue for Jan 23. Crypto market watchers continue to monitor the token for further price shifts amid market uncertainty.

Ethereum Price At $3,300 Level

ETH price witnessed a 3% dip at the time of reporting and was trading at $3,288. The cryptocurrency’s 24-hour low and high were $3,270.27 and $3,424.90, respectively. Even the broader price chart for Ethereum underscores a period of consolidation. This sideways trading session comes despite $130.14 million weekly inflows into the Ethereum ETFs as of Jan 23.

Meanwhile, crypto analyst Ali Martinez has recently posted on X, revealing that whales purchased over 1.14 million ETH in the last 48 hours. Nevertheless, traders and investors appear to be unsure of future movements amid the broader market turbulence.

Solana Price Holds Above $250

Further, SOL price witnessed a substantial 6% decrease as of press time, resting at $249. The coin’s 24-hour low and high were $248.35 and $269.81, respectively.

Lookonchain revealed on Saturday that Circle minted another 250 million USDC on the network.

Meanwhile, amid the broader crypto market volatility, analyst Ali Martinez’s recent X post has raised severe concerns among traders and investors globally. “There won’t be an alt season,” the analyst stated on Saturday.

Notably, this bearish prediction comes against the backdrop of the rising number of alt projects in the market, which appears to have impacted the supply dynamics. Ali states that “today, there are over 36.4 million altcoins, compared to fewer than 3,000 altcoins during the 2017-2018 alt season and even fewer than 500 altcoins in 2013-2014.” As a result, speculations of no alts season have also prevailed across the sector.
