Let’s explore the crypto market movements today to understand what to expect from the top tokens in the coming days.
Bitcoin remains at the forefront of the cryptocurrency market. The current Bitcoin price is $85,400.18, up by 0.55% in the past 24 hours. This is a continued rise for the world's largest cryptocurrency, backed by a market cap of $1.69 trillion and a trading volume of more than $28.23 billion.
Ethereum also posted modest gains, with a 0.07% gain over the past day. ETH is trading at $1,640.02 with a circulating supply of 120.69 million ETH, contributing to a total market cap of $197.94 billion.
Stablecoins registered a slight positive progress. Tether (USDT) now stands at $0.9997, gaining 0.02%, with a market capitalization of $144.30 billion and a massive 24-hour volume of $58.32 billion. Also, the USD Coin (USDC) was static at $0.9998, with a negligible rise of 0.00% and a circulating supply of 60.2 billion USDC.
While Bitcoin and Ethereum registered marginal gains, the majority of altcoins were in the red. XRP, trading at $2.14, registered a 0.38% fall, with a market cap of $125.32 billion and volume of $3.08 billion. BNB registered a 0.21% fall, trading at $588.57.
Solana (SOL) registered one of the deepest falls among the top ten, down 2.41% at $130.73, although it still has a robust market cap of $67.48 billion. Its 24-hour volume was $3.86 billion, with a circulating supply of 516.22 million SOL.
TRON (TRX) fell 1.20%, currently trading at $0.2530, and Dogecoin (DOGE) dropped 4.34%, currently priced at $0.1604, with a 24-hour volume of $908 million. Cardano (ADA) lost 1.35%, currently trading at $0.6430 with a circulating supply of 35.28 billion ADA.
Though the general market was mixed, some altcoins performed remarkably well. The biggest gainer over the last 24 hours is Fartcoin rising 7.57%. Kaspa and Algorand post gains of about 6.63% and 4.95% while Monero and Render rose about 2.5%. These tokens took advantage of sustained investor interest, technical breakout trends, and strong community involvement.
Some of the cryptocurrencies suffered heavy corrections over the last day, headed by Mantra (OM) and Decentraland (MANA) with 20.13% and 7.93% losses. AB and Bitcoin Cash witnessed a sharp decline of approximately 5.7% whereas XDC Network was down by 7.74%.
Market analysts are of the view that these are driven by profit-taking, poor technical setups, and declining short-term volume.
The crypto market today shows mixed sentiments. Stablecoins holding their pegs indicate market liquidity is not an issue. In the meantime, altcoin weakness might signify short-term profit-taking or rotation into BTC dominance. The performance of Bitcoin indicates confidence among investors, perhaps driven by institutional demand and rising ETF inflows.
Edul Patel, Mudrex CEO, observed that "Bitcoin is trading around the $85,000 level as investors are waiting for a catalyst to spark the next rally." As US treasury yields fall and the dollar index falls, Bitcoin becomes increasingly appealing. He further stated that institutional demand, like Strategy's purchase of 3,459 BTC worth $285.8 million, keeps supporting sentiment.
Another expert, Avinash Shekhar, Pi42 CEO, cautioned against continued ETF outflows. Bitcoin saw the third-largest ETF outflows of 2025, adding to weekly crypto fund outflows of $795 million. In the meantime, Ethereum may fall to $1,400 if bearish pressure persists.
This mixed trend will likely persist short term. Traders should keep an eye out for regulatory announcements and global economic signals that may affect crypto prices further.
