The cryptocurrency market showed a cautious tone on Friday, with Bitcoin (BTC) managing to hold above the pivotal $64,000 level despite a broad decline across major digital assets. Bitcoin traded at $64,405.38, down 0.8% over the past 24 hours, with a daily trading volume of $17.91 billion and a market cap of $1.29 trillion. XRP posted the steepest decline among top cryptocurrencies, falling 2.1% to $1.03, while Ethereum (ETH) eased 0.5% to $1,905.08.
Price predictions for Bitcoin, Ethereum, and XRP suggest each is at a critical technical juncture. Bitcoin maintains a broader bullish structure after failing to extend gains above the 0.786 Fibonacci retracement level, but remains supported above a key support cluster. Ethereum shows stronger momentum after reclaiming several moving averages, boosting buyer confidence. In contrast, XRP remains bearish as sellers pressure the critical $1.00 support, with a break below likely accelerating losses.
Other leading coins also recorded modest losses: BNB dropped 1.6% to $587.48, Solana (SOL) fell 1.4% to $72.92, and Dogecoin (DOGE) declined 0.8% to $0.06934. TRON (TRX) remained flat at $0.3269, while Hyperliquid (HYPE) slipped 0.6% to $55.83. Despite the weakness in major tokens, several smaller-cap assets surged, reflecting selective risk appetite. Biconomy (BICO) led gainers with a 59.2% jump to $0.04533, Orochi Network (ON) climbed 48.3%, and Anvil (ANVL) rose 37.4%. Other notable gainers included ETHGas (GWEI), Stargate Finance (STG), and SkyAI (SKYAI).
The mixed performance highlights a divided market, where investors rotated from established cryptocurrencies into speculative smaller tokens even as Bitcoin’s technical structure held firm.
