Antalya,,Turkey,-,December,4,,2024:,Bitcoin,And,Cryptocurrency,Investment

Cryptocurrencies are spiking on the first day of October, with Bitcoin reclaiming the $116,000 mark.

Cryptocurrency Ticker Price
Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) $116,400
Ethereum (CRYPTO: ETH) $4,300
Solana (CRYPTO: SOL) $217.74
XRP (CRYPTO: XRP) $2.94
Dogecoin (CRYPTO: DOGE) $0.2428
Shiba Inu (CRYPTO: SHIB) $0.00001225

Notable Statistics:

  • Coinglass data shows 173,290 traders were liquidated in the past 24 hours for $623.06 million.     
  • SoSoValue data shows net outflows of $429.96 million from spot Bitcoin ETFs on Tuesday. Spot Ethereum ETFs saw net inflows of $127.5 million.

Trader Notes: Daan Crypto Trades observes BTC testing the top of its bull flag/channel, aiming for a breakout. Holding the $112,000 support remains crucial. Daily closes above the channel would indicate readiness for new highs, though early-month volatility may persist.

Ted Pillows adds BTC reclaimed $113,500, with resistance at $117,500. A successful break could push to new all-time highs, while failing $113,500 risks further downside.

For Ethereum, Pillows notes rejection at $4,250 resistance, signaling short-term weakness. Key support sits at $4,050, with a break potentially leading to $3,800. Dips are still considered buying opportunities for the next leg up.

Crypto Bully closed a scalp trade for over $8,000, citing momentum stalling despite a setup that played out with Monday's low sweep and recovery. Risk management prompted an early exit.

CW highlights $0.25 as critical resistance. A break and hold above this level on strong volume could clear the sell wall; failure may result in pushbacks.

Mikybull Crypto points out XRP having closed the quarter above a key resistance for the first time since 2017, suggesting a potentially large bullish phase is beginning.
