Bitcoin Faces Critical Resistance Amidst Market Downturn and Major Hack – cover image

Bitcoin is currently facing a challenging phase as it struggles to remain above the $96,000 mark, trading at around $95,708 with a slight decline of 0.6%. The cryptocurrency remains within a key technical range between $93,725 and $96,763. Market analysts suggest that a breakout above $97,000 could propel Bitcoin toward the significant psychological level of $100,000.

The broader crypto market experienced a 1.5% downturn, bringing the total market capitalization down to $3.14 trillion. Major altcoins also saw declines: Ethereum dropped by 2.5% to $2,725, Solana fell 6.3% to $19,480, XRP decreased 2.9% to $252, BNB went down 3.3% to $87,592, and Dogecoin fell by 5%.

Adding to market pressure, a significant crypto hack at ByBit resulted in the theft of approximately $1.4 billion in Ethereum, creating uncertainty and negative sentiment among investors. Nevertheless, the market shows signs of resilience as 200,000 new Bitcoin wallets were created in just 48 hours, indicating renewed investor interest despite the volatility.
