The crypto market reflected a mixed market sentiment on Friday with some assets trading in the gains while the others reeling under losses. Bitcoin on Friday registered a price hike of 1.17 percent in the last 24 hours. With this, the price of the asset has come to $70,340.
Market analysts, in conversation with Coin Headlines said, Bitcoin is holding firm near the $70,000 level despite pressure from rising geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and a more hawkish Fed outlook.
“Markets are now focused on upcoming CPI data and further Fed commentary to gauge the next move. A sustained close above $73,000 would suggest that bulls are back in control. For now, $70,000 remains a key level to hold, with immediate support seen near $69,000,” said Akshat Siddhant, Lead quant analyst, Mudrex.
Ether, on the other hand, registered a loss of 0.25 percent in the last 24 hours. At the time of writing, ETH was trading at $2,140, showed data by CoinMarketCap on Friday.
“ETH is facing rejection near $2,400 and holding support around $2,100, with $2,200 acting as the key level for momentum recovery,” said Riya Sehgal, research analyst at Delta exchange. “In the near term, both Bitcoin and Ethereum are likely to stay range-bound, with direction hinging on liquidity conditions, macro cues, and the balance between derivatives and spot market participation.”
