Bitcoin Price Slumps 6% In Two Days, Falls Below $90,000

Bitcoin price fell sharply over the past 36 hours, sliding more than 5% over that time and briefly dipping below $90,000 early Tuesday as macroeconomic uncertainty and renewed scrutiny of corporate bitcoin treasuries weighed on the market.

The world’s largest cryptocurrency was trading near $95,500 on Sunday night but fell to around $89,800 by Tuesday morning, extending losses that began with a violent sell-off late Saturday and into Sunday evening and Monday morning.

The move erased nearly $5,700 from bitcoin’s price in less than two days, according to Bitcoin Magazine Pro data.

The initial leg lower came Sunday night, when the bitcoin price plunged nearly $4,000 in a…

XRP Is Repeating This 2022 60% Crash Pattern—Will $2 Support Hold This Time?

XRP (CRYPTO: XRP) dropped 2% over the past 24 hours as Glassnode warns the current market setup matches February 2022—right before XRP crashed 60%.

The Warning Sign From 2022 Is Flashing Again

Glassnode flagged a troubling pattern: investors who bought XRP in the last 1 week to 1 month are now paying less than those who purchased 6-12 months ago.

That creates psychological pressure on longer-term holders sitting on losses. 

When newer buyers enter at lower prices than earlier investors, it signals the trend is deteriorating.

This exact pattern appeared in February 2022 when XRP traded around $0.80. What followed was a 60% crash to $0.30 as holders gave up during the broader market…

Bitcoin Holds $90,000 As Ethereum, XRP Dogecoin Slide 3% On Rising Treasury Yields

Bitcoin is down 2% over the past 24 hours as rising U.S. Treasury yields put pressure on risk assets; liquidations stand at $361.56 million over the past 24 hours.   

Bitcoin ETFs saw $394.7 million in net outflows on Friday, while Ethereum ETFs reported $4.64 million in net inflows.

The total meme coin market capitalization extended declines, with a 3.9% drop to $44.7 billion.

Daan Crypto Trades noted that Bitcoin has fully returned to its $84,000–$94,000 range after failing to sustain a breakout, weakening the short-term setup.

He added that a move below the yearly open still looks likely, as yearly candles rarely form without a lower wick, making a dip feel more like unfinished…
