While BTC price slipped to the $58K mark today, ETH moved below $2,300. Even SOL and XRP prices fell 4%-5% today, raising market concerns despite the looming U.S. FOMC. Notably, despite expectations of a 50 bp fed rate cut rising substantially, the crypto market encounters turbulency.

Bitcoin Price Today

This slumping movement comes despite $403.81 million inflows in Bitcoin ETFs last week. Meanwhile, the flagship crypto’s dominance witnessed a 0.35% increase to $51.74 billion. Intriguingly, Whale Alert’s data spotlighted massive BTC accumulations over the weekend, glimmering hope for the asset’s future movements.
