Price Analysis: Bitcoin finds support at the $93k level


Bitcoin's fall from $101,000 to a daily low of $93,000 generated $750 million in liquidity, sending the crypto market down 6.48% (roughly $240 billion). The major cryptos are starting to recover, with some alts already entering double-digit price increases. Meanwhile, Bitcoin and Ethereum spot ETFs continue to post positive returns.

Bitcoin bled in yesterday's trading session, falling from a daily opening price of $101,151 to $94,270 before closing higher at $97,314 in the US afternoon session. With a market dominance of over 56%, the largest crypto by market cap weighed on the entire market as major altcoins posted double-digit losses.

However, some major altcoins seem to have gained support at the start of today's US trading session. Ethereum hit a low of $3,506 yesterday and is up 5% from its record high, while Solana is up 6.9% from yesterday's low.
