As per CoinMarketCap data, here are the top five crypto losers over the past 24 hours:
Edul Patel, CEO and co-founder, Mudrex, told ABP Live, “Bitcoin is holding strong above the $109,500 mark as bulls maintain control despite brief selling pressure from U.S. nonfarm payroll data. According to data from The Block, 98.9% of Bitcoin holders are currently profitable (In The Money). Such a high percentage “In the Money” reflects strong market confidence, suggesting an extended rally. Meanwhile, Ethereum is also gaining traction, with whales accumulating over 800,000 ETH. If ETH holds above $2,500, a rally toward $2,700 is likely, supported by rising institutional interest and improving on-chain dynamics.”
CoinSwitch Markets Desk noted, “As Bitcoin remains towards a touching distance from its all time high of 112k USD – traders have started to pile up shorts near the 110k region. However, this also means that a break in resistance this time could mean a potential short squeeze taking BTC much higher. As per technical analysts, an inverse head and shoulders pattern is also forming – making 135k USD as the next target of Bitcoin in the coming weeks itself.”
Avinash Shekhar, Co-founder & CEO, Pi42, said, “Crypto market is gaining strength as bullish momentum spreads across major assets. Bitcoin is holding firm above $109,000, with the unrealized profit ratio at 80% a healthy sign of confidence among holders. Open interest is rising again, reflecting renewed enthusiasm in the market without signs of overheating. Ethereum remains strong within its expected range, supported by improving macro sentiment and solid equity market gains. XRP is showing strong upward potential, with some technical models pointing toward a move to $3.”
Shivam Thakral, CEO of BuyUcoin, said, “Bitcoin (BTC) is hovering around $109,322, showing slight gains after nears its intraday high near $110K. Ethereum (ETH) trades at approximately $2,581, holding above $2.5K. Flows into spot BTC ETFs have been strong, drawing institutional capital and supporting prices. The crypto landscape is currently bullish with strong institutional backing, favourable regulatory moves, and improving technicals on Bitcoin. A breakout above $114K for BTC could ignite the next leg of the rally.”
CoinDCX Research Team noted, “The Bitcoin price has pierced above the resistance and, without experiencing any upward pressure, is consolidating near the gained levels. As a result, the tokens that closely follow the star crypto, like Ethereum, XRP, Solana, and a few more, are also consolidating above the resistance. Among the top gainers are Zcash, which has surged by over 6.24%; Walrus, by 5.74%; and Pudgy Penguins, Fartcoin, and Sui, by over 4% each. Meanwhile, the top losers include Sei with a drop of over 7%, followed by Arbitrum & Jito with over 3.7% each, and Bitcoin Cash, JasmyCoin, Pepe, and a few more with nearly 2.5% each.”
