Bitcoin starts the week on a multi-month high before dipping
📉 Soft start to the week – Bitcoin dips to $103K after hitting $107K earlier today
💎 Ethereum lags – ETH down 4%+ over 24 hours, and broader altcoin weakness persists.
📊 Sentiment holds – Fear & Greed Index remains in Greed, but RSI signals caution.
CRYPTOCURRENCY markets are off to a slower start this week following a multi-week run that saw Bitcoin (BTC) and others post impressive gains over 30 days.
This morning, BTC is trading just above $103,000, marking a mild pullback as traders reassess near-term momentum.
Ethereum (ETH) and other large-cap altcoins have posted deeper losses, with ETH down more than 4% over the past 24 hours. Several smaller-cap names saw even sharper reversals, continuing the pattern of higher volatility lower down the market-cap board.
Despite the price retreat, sentiment remains buoyant. The Crypto Fear & Greed Index still sits in 'Greed' territory, though Bitcoin’s Relative Strength Index (RSI) has edged lower, approaching the neutral-oversold zone, a potential signal that the recent rally may need to cool off before another leg higher.
Traders will be watching closely to see if crypto can consolidate around current levels or if a broader pullback is on the cards.
Is this just a breather before another move higher, or the start of a deeper correction? The next few sessions may set the tone heading into the latter half of the month.
