Bitcoin’s price experienced a minor decline on Monday, reflecting a broader downturn in the cryptocurrency market over the weekend.

In India, Bitcoin’s value decreased by 0.10 percent, reaching $105,595 (about Rs. 90.3 lakh) on platforms such as CoinSwitch and CoinDCX. Meanwhile, Ether also faced a significant drop, losing five percent of its value in the same timeframe.
Market Trends and Analysis
The recent price movements indicate that Bitcoin has been consolidating within a narrow range. Analysts from the ZebPay Trade Desk noted that bullish investors are attempting to breach a crucial resistance level set at $105,820 (approximately Rs. 90.4 lakh). They highlighted that both moving averages are trending upwards, and the Relative Strength Index (RSI) remains in overbought territory, suggesting that buyers currently dominate the market. Strong support for Bitcoin is identified at $100,000 (around Rs. 85.5 lakh), while a resistance level is observed at $110,000 (approximately Rs. 94 lakh).
The decline in Bitcoin’s price was mirrored by other cryptocurrencies. The crypto price tracker by Gadgets 360 reported that many altcoins, including Tether, Ripple, Solana, Cardano, Tron, Chainlink, Avalanche, and Stellar, also saw their values decrease. Additionally, Shiba Inu, Litecoin, Polkadot, Elrond, and Qtum were affected by the prevailing market uncertainty, leading to further price drops.
Overall Market Performance
The overall cryptocurrency market capitalization fell by 0.50 percent in the last 24 hours, now standing at $3.26 trillion (around Rs. 2,78,59,422 crore), as per CoinMarketCap. Himanshu Maradiya, Founder and Chairman of CIFDAQ, commented on the current market dynamics, stating that the crypto market remains range-bound. He noted that meme coins are capturing retail interest, with tokens like WIF, PEPE, and FLOKI becoming prominent in discussions. Despite the downturn, some cryptocurrencies managed to post small gains. Dogecoin, Leo, Monero, Iota, Polygon, and Augur were among the few that saw positive movement in their prices. Analysts continue to advise investors to make informed decisions amid ongoing market volatility.
Investor Sentiment and Institutional Interest
In a positive sign for the market, several U.S. and global companies have recently announced plans to acquire Bitcoin and allocate it to their corporate treasuries. This trend is seen as a reinforcement of institutional confidence in the cryptocurrency. The ZebPay team emphasized that this growing interest from institutions could contribute to a bullish sentiment in the market, despite the current fluctuations.
As the cryptocurrency landscape evolves, investors are encouraged to stay informed and cautious. The unpredictable nature of digital currencies underscores the importance of thorough research and understanding before making investment decisions.
