Edul Patel, Co-founder and CEO of Mudrex, noted that 'Bitcoin briefly reclaimed the $108,000 level as strong institutional interest lifted market sentiment,' pointing to Strategy's $1.05 billion acquisition of 10,100 BTC and Metaplanet's reserves crossing 10,000 BTC as key drivers.Ethereum also saw notable accumulation activity.

She noted that a move below $106K could push prices towards $104K and $101.5K, while a breakout above $108K could retest the $110K level.On Ethereum, she noted the asset 'remains under pressure' after failing to break the $2,620–$2,640 zone. 'If $2,560 breaks, the next supports are $2,500 and $2,440,' she added.

'The $108K–$110K range is now a crucial resistance zone, while support is firm near $104K. A breakout above $110K could trigger a rally towards $115K.'He added that the Relative Strength Index (RSI) remains in healthy territory, indicating room for further upside, though the market continues to remain sensitive to macro events.: Recommendations, suggestions, views and opinions given by the experts are their own.

Cryptocurrency Live News & Updates : Bitcoin Dips Below $103K Amid Market Volatility
21 Jun 2025 | 02:05:12 AM IST Over 35 million Ether is now staked, leading to tighter liquidity as investors favor passive yields over trading. Corporate treasuries, including SharpLink, are driving this trend. The cryptocurrency landscape is witnessing significant developments as staked Ether (ETH) has surpassed 35 million tokens, accounting for over 28% of Ethereum's circulating supply. This trend reflects a growing preference for passive yield strategies among investors, particularly corporate treasuries like SharpLink, which recently staked a substantial portion of its ETH holdings. Meanwhile, optimism is rising around the approval of various crypto exchange-traded funds (ETFs), with Bloomberg analysts estimating a 90% or higher chance for many filings, including those for XRP, Solana (SOL), and Dogecoin (DOGE). The SEC's recent engagement is seen as a positive sign for these approvals. Additionally, Solana continues to thrive, reporting over $1 billion in app revenue for two consecutive quarters and attracting a significant number of developers. As the crypto market evolves, the interplay between staking, institutional investment, and potential ETF approvals will be crucial in shaping the future of digital assets. Show more
