Bitcoin's recent pullback below a key level has raised concerns about the sustainability of its recent upside momentum.
The move above $106,000 was seen as a critical test, and slipping below it indicates a speculative-driven breakout rather than structural demand.
The next significant support level to watch is at $100,437, with a potential for deeper downside moves if this level is breached.
Ethereum's markets have shown unusual behavior with a surge in open interest but a collapse in funding rate, suggesting rising speculative activity without strong conviction.
A firm's $425 million Ethereum treasury allocation coincided with a 70% stock plunge, revealing market fragility.
The recent breakout in Bitcoin may have been influenced by hype around Circle's $24 billion IPO announcement, but the market lacks fundamental drivers for sustained rallies.
Traders are advised to be cautious as BTC trades below the breakout level and Ethereum displays signs of speculative dislocation.
