    Why is Crypto Down Today

    The crypto market is down 2.07% to $2.85 trillion after Bitcoin fell below $82,700, triggering about $70 million in long liquidations. The drop followed Bitcoin’s failure to hold the $87,000 resistance level, prompting profit-taking across major altcoins. Layer 1 tokens fell 2.21%, while the Binance ecosystem declined 2.02%. Geopolitical uncertainty also weighed on risk sentiment. The market is now watching the $2.85 trillion support level, with a break potentially exposing the $2.8 trillion area.

    Does Brad Garlinghouse See XRP As Digital Gold? Here’s What He Said

    Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse says he sees XRP as a hedge against currency devaluation, but he leaves the digital gold title to Bitcoin. Asked whether Ripple could be viewed as digital gold, Garlinghouse first separated the company from the token, a habit he says stuck after the US lawsuit. “I view XRP as a hedge,” he said. His bullish case rests on distrust of government money management. “You can’t trust governments to manage monetary supply in an expert way,” he said, noting the dollar has lost about 30% of its value in five years and more than 90% over 30 to 40 years. He expects more capital to flow into non-inflationary assets, including gold and crypto.

    Why Is Bitcoin Price Going Down Today?

    Bitcoin slipped to $83,076.05, down 1.4% over 24 hours, as a wave of selling hit global markets. Over $550 billion was wiped out from gold and silver in just three hours, while Chinese stocks lost more than ¥1.21 trillion ($181 billion) as the Shanghai index fell 1.75% and the CSI 300 dropped to its lowest level in 12 months. Geopolitical tension added to the pressure. Iran said it is ready for “real diplomacy” with the US but remains prepared for “an apocalyptic war” if attacked, according to Al Jazeera. The dip follows a strong stretch. Bitcoin had just posted its highest weekly close in eight months above $84,000, leaving it up 45% from its June low, and remains up 2.2% over the past week.

Traders will watch whether XRP can hold the lower end of the range while facing resistance near $1.60.

    BTC, ETH and XRP Brace For Packed Week Of US Economic Data And Fed Clues

    A heavy data calendar could decide whether the Fed hikes again in October, with markets pricing a 64% chance of a 25 basis point increase. The week opens Tuesday with August JOLTS job openings and September consumer confidence, followed Wednesday by core PCE inflation and Q2 GDP, Thursday’s ISM manufacturing PMI, and Friday’s September jobs report. The Bank of Japan’s policy minutes land Monday and could shape global bond markets if they hint at further hikes. Hotter readings could push October hike odds higher, while softer numbers would ease pressure. More than 20 Fed speakers, including Chair Kevin Warsh, are also scheduled, alongside earnings from Micron and Nike, testing whether the economy can absorb higher rates without slowing.
