Crypto News Today (Sept 30th, 2024): Bitcoin and Major Altcoins Drop Amid Japan’s Struggling Economy?

Published by

Cryptocurrency Market Overview: The market capitalization of the industry has dropped to $2.24T due to a slump in Japan and the worldwide market, which saw losses of 2.32% in the last day. With a 51.42% increase in 24-hour volume to $69.28 billion, trading activity has soared. While the BTC price fell to $63k levels in the past few hours, Ethereum and Solana incurred minor losses. Conversely, Japan’s eye on relaxing crypto rules has fueled optimism in the business.

Bitcoin Price Analysis: BTC Price to Hit $100k After This Level?

Bitcoin (BTC) has seen a significant drop of 2.95%, now priced at $63,639.65. This dip puts further distance between Bitcoin and the highly anticipated $65k resistance level. While September is historically known to be a bearish month, industry proponents are hinting at options traders heavily buying call options for Bitcoin at a $75k strike price. In such a case, a move above $75k will push BTC to the $100k milestone.

Altcoin Watch: ETH, SOL, and Major Altcoins Prices Slip?

Over the last day, Ethereum (ETH) has decreased by 1.55% and is now trading at $2,609.64. Even with the decline, ETH is still strong and is still over the crucial $2.6k mark. While XRP (XRP) has remained nearly unchanged at $0.628, down just 0.01%, Solana (SOL) had a slight loss of 1.42%, trading at $154.18). As the volatility of these altcoins declines, investors appear to be holding back.
