Thursday’s sell-off in the US stock market forced cryptocurrencies to bounce back from the previous day. As a result, the crypto market capitalisation is back at $1.05 trillion (-1.8% in 24 hours). Solana (-5.2%) and XRP (-3.3%) led the decline among the top altcoins, while Ethereum held up relatively well, losing 1.3%.

Bitcoin has entered another long horizontal consolidation and is going down another ladder. The previous two ladders were from late June to mid-July (around $30.5K) and from late July to mid-August (around $29.3K).
Ethereum is consolidating around $1650, a significant pivot level of the last 12 months. A failure below this level could start a capitulation that could take the price to $1200 within a week or two. The ability to hold here would indicate buyer support, potentially kick-starting a rally.
However, we still see a higher probability of a continued downturn in the crypto market in the coming months.
