As per CoinMarketCap data, here are the top five crypto losers over the past 24 hours:
Akshat Siddhant, Lead Quant Analyst, Mudrex, told ABP Live, “Bitcoin and Ethereum are consolidating after failing to reclaim the key $90,000 and $3,000 levels, respectively. While thin liquidity initially supported the upside, a lack of follow-through buying capped the move. That said, on-chain data shows long-term Bitcoin holders accumulating again for the first time since July, a constructive signal for the broader trend. With precious metals seeing a pullback, capital rotation into crypto could strengthen momentum. Currently trading near $87,200, Bitcoin faces resistance at $89,700, while $86,000 now acts as a firm support zone.”
Nischal Shetty, Founder, WazirX, noted, “Over the past 24-25 hours, global markets have remained firmly in macro-watch mode, with investors reacting more to liquidity signals and geopolitics than asset-specific narratives. Expectations of easier monetary policy in the U.S. and other major economies continue to anchor risk sentiment. While rate-cut optimism has supported equities and precious metals, it has not yet translated into aggressive risk-taking across crypto, largely due to thin year-end liquidity and profit-taking after a strong 2025 run.”
Avinash Shekhar, Co-founder & CEO, Pi42, said, “Bitcoin moving back above the 90,000 level points to improving confidence, but the more important signal is how the market is positioning rather than chasing price. Rising stablecoin balances on exchanges indicate that capital is already deployed and waiting for clearer direction. As we head into 2026, Bitcoin’s trajectory will be shaped by liquidity conditions, institutional flows and the ability of the market to sustain accumulation beyond short term rallies. If exchange outflows continue and leverage remains disciplined, this phase of consolidation could evolve into a stronger and more durable uptrend.”
Sathvik Vishwanath, CEO and co-founder of Unocoin, said, “Growth comes from breadth rather than hype. Bitcoin remains the sector’s foundation, rising above $150,000 by 2026 while ceding dominance to expanding activity across other networks. Infrastructure-first blockchains like Ethereum and Solana strengthen their positions as developers favor neutrality and composability over branding. Corporate adoption deepens, particularly in payments and financial services, driving stablecoin usage through improved distribution rather than speculation. DeFi evolves toward consolidation, concentrating liquidity and influence among a few major platforms.”
CoinDCX Research Team noted, “The bears yet again have restricted the Bitcoin price rally below $90,000 as the token maintains its trade around $87,000 after a rejection. With this, Ethereum also dropped below $3000, Solana trades around $123, Cardano around $0.35 and Dogecoin around $0.123. The top gainers for the day are Midnight, with over a 6.5% jump, followed by UNUS SED LEO, with a 2.43% rise and pippin and MYX Finance by over 1% each. Besides, Jupiter, SPX6900, and Toncoin plunged by over 7% each, followed by DoubleZero, Pudgy Penguins, Cardano, and a few more by over 6% each.”
