Bitcoin Slides Below $100,000 As Fear Overtakes Crypto And Liquidity Thins
(MENAFN- The Rio Times) Bitcoin fell through the psychological $100,000 line overnight to about $96,800 (-6.6%), dragging majors lower as risk appetite faded across digital assets.
Ether slipped to $3,199 (-9.6%), XRP to $2.297 (-7.9%), and Solana to $142.5 (-8.6%). A few names bucked the tide, such as UAI up roughly 3%, but sellers dominated.
Exchange snapshots show heavy spot activity in BTC (around $748 million on the pairs shown) and brisk de-risking in ETH (about $453 million), consistent with a shift from buy-the-dip to capital preservation.
The break followed two sessions of whippy spot-ETF flows and lighter whale participation, removing a support that had repeatedly cushioned declines this year.
Sentiment gauges have flipped to fear, a backdrop that tends to magnify moves when liquidity thins.
Bitcoin Slides Below $100,000 As Fear Overtakes Crypto And Liquidity Thins
In altcoins, BANK led losses (-33%), while SUI and LINK fell close to -9% each; Litecoin's -2.6% was relative outperformance as traders rotated toward lower-beta names and larger caps.
Technicals suggest the downtrend still has control. On both the 4-hour and 1-day charts, BTC trades beneath the 50, 100, and 200 moving averages and remains under a descending trendline near $106,000–$108,000.
MACD is below signal on both timeframes, while RSI sits near 30–33 on 4h and in the mid-30s on 1D-levels that allow reflex bounces without altering the broader bearish structure.
Price is also below the Ichimoku cloud with widening Bollinger Bands, a classic trend-down, volatility-up regime.
Key levels now: immediate resistance at $100,000–$101,000, then $103,000, with the trendline cluster near $106,000–$108,000 the hurdle to flip momentum.
Supports are $96,000–$95,000; a clean break opens $92,000 and the high-$80,000s liquidity pocket.
Near term, a sell-the-rip bias prevails unless BTC reclaims $103,000 on improving breadth and steadier flows.
For investors who favor market-friendly discipline and clear rules, patience is warranted.
Stabilization in ETF demand and a decisive close back above $106,000–$108,000 would be the first sign that this correction is maturing rather than merely pausing.
