Crypto Rally Pauses as Momentum Cools for Top Assets
The crypto market's recent rally has come to a pause as prices of major assets like Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and XRP show signs of slowing momentum.
BTC is currently trading at $77,249, but its price action indicates that the uptrend remains intact despite early bearish signals. The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicator has turned negative, suggesting fading upside momentum.
Ethereum's price pullback has extended after being rejected near $2,500, with a current spot price of $2,407. The MACD has slipped into negative territory, underscoring that the latest advance is consolidating rather than accelerating in the very short term.
XRP is trading below its 200-day EMA at $1.350, leaving the broader tone neutral. Price remains above the 50-day and 100-day EMAs but has not yet broken back above its longer-term trend reference.
