Crypto News Today (Dec 3, 2024): Bitcoin Drops to $94k, XRP Targets $3?

Published by

The crypto industry has had a relatively tough day today, as the optimism amongst market players has been losing steam. This has been evident with the Fear & Greed Index, which has dropped from an extreme greed score of 81 during early Asian trading hours to a current score of 78. This could also be related to Bitcoin facing a hard time in claiming the $100k mark. However, not everything’s sour, as XRP has continued its bullish leg-up and is currently up ~23% eyeing the $3 target next! 

Bitcoin Now at $94k: What to Expect Next?

Despite BTC’s price marking a slight dip of 0.22% to $94,820.64, Bitcoin’s dominance remains fairly robust at 54.33%. The minor pullback did result in a modest uptick of 0.81% in intraday trading volumes to $63.64 billion. While BTC has faced some heat, we can expect the star crypto to make a healthy comeback, as sentiments improve.
