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 has reclaimed the $91,000 level, supported by renewed buying interest and improving sentiment across the market. An estimated 1.8 million BTC were withdrawn from exchanges overnight, leading to speculation around strong institutional activity. Meanwhile, ETH whale wallets holding 10,000-100,000 ETH added 440,000 ETH in a week, reinforcing confidence despite recent caution. If retail demand builds on this momentum, BTC could test and potentially clear $95,000. A breakout above this level would strengthen the bullish structure and open the path toward new highs.”
CoinSwitch Markets Desk noted, “BTC traded quietly for most of the day, moving sideways around $86.5K-$87.5K before a sharp breakout pushed it toward $91K. The sudden jump was driven mainly by a short-squeeze and helping BTC gain 4.4% in last 24 hours. Also, in last 2 out of 4 days BTC ETFs have seen inflow, showing that institutional appetite for BTC is gradually picking up again. With that, U.S. jobless claims, released yesterday came less than expected and on similar lines with PPI released yesterday and overall building a good market structure for possible fed cut. BTC now faces resistance near $92K, and a breakout above it could open a move toward $93K and above, If price slips below $89.5K, BTC may retest the $87K support zone.”
Vikram Subburaj, CEO, Giottus, said, “Bitcoin’s recovery to above $90,000 ahead of Thanksgiving marks a welcome break from the historical pattern of pre-holiday declines. The move looks more like a positioning adjustment than the start of a trend reversal. On-chain data still shows mixed behaviour. Long-term holders have offloaded roughly 1.6 million BTC this quarter (the sharpest reduction of the cycle), while large exchange deposits (≥ 100 BTC) now account for nearly half of all inflows. This signals a continued portfolio reshuffling. At the same time, the market absorbed an unusually large 1.8 million BTC outflow.”
Sathvik Vishwanath, CEO and co-founder of Unocoin, said, “Bitcoin is consolidating after a steep correction, trading mostly in the $85,000-$90,000 zone. A common trend-based entry could be near $82,000-$85,000, where buyers previously defended support. A breakout entry becomes relevant only if BTC closes strongly above $92,000. Potential profit-taking zones are $98,000-$102,000, with a major exit near $110,000 if momentum strengthens. Downside invalidation generally sits below $80,000, where further sell-offs may accelerate. Overall, BTC remains cautious but stable, with macro trends and ETF flows likely guiding its next move.”
Avinash Shekhar, Co-founder & CEO, Pi42, said, “Bitcoin has staged a modest recovery from last week’s decline, yet it continues to struggle beneath the important 87,000 dollar resistance level. Even the brief push toward 89,000 dollars failed to generate sustained momentum, highlighting how fragile the current market structure remains. Traders are observing a period of reduced conviction as price movement stays confined within a relatively narrow band, and many participants prefer to wait for a clearer signal before shifting their positions. Market sentiment reflects this caution, since buyers have not shown the strength needed to establish a decisive breakout and sellers have not regained enough control to force a deeper retracement.”
CoinDCX Research Team noted, “The bulls are back as Bitcoin price surpasses crucial resistance at $90,000 and is trading above $91,000, forming an intraday high close to $92,000. Besides, Ethereum reclaims levels above $3000, XRP above $2.2, Solana above $140, and Dogecoin above $0.15, while BNB fails to reach $900. The top gainer for the day is Merlin Chain (MERL), which has surged over 126%, followed by Kaspa with 18.47%, SPX6900 by 14.23%, and Dash by 11.14%. On the other hand, Story plunges by close to 11%, followed by World Liberty Financial by 6.32% and Aster and MYX Finance by 5.92% and 4.90%, respectively.”
