Bitcoin has been trading around $105,000 for the past 24 hours, with Ethereum trying to maintain above $2,500 and XRP above $2.10.
Analysts have mixed views on the market sentiment, with some expecting bullish momentum and others like Warren MUPPET predicting a significant downside correction for Bitcoin and other major cryptocurrencies.
Warren MUPPET shared a forecast of a crash scenario for Bitcoin to $93,500, Ethereum to $2,100, and XRP to $1.6, among others, indicating a bearish outlook.
The market is currently in a consolidation phase, with the Fear & Greed Index at a neutral 52, leaving the sentiment open for a swing in either direction.
The possibility of a sharp correction is hinted with projections pointing to significant price drops for various cryptocurrencies, potentially driven by negative sentiment in the market.
Bitcoin, Ethereum, and XRP had reached these projected price levels just two months ago in April, lending credibility to the warning of a possible market downturn.
Past data indicates that bearish trends often follow extended consolidation periods in high price ranges, signaling a potential market crash if Bitcoin falls under $100,000, impacting other cryptocurrencies as well.
The future market direction hinges on Bitcoin's ability to stay above $100,000, as a weakening sentiment could lead to the realization of the analyst's price projections.
Current prices show Bitcoin trading at $105,096, Ethereum at $2,540, XRP at $2.16, and Hype at $42.
