Bitcoin falls to $70,000 as Ethereum, XRP, and Dogecoin each fall by 1% due to geopolitical uncertainty

Bitcoin price dropped to $70,000 after briefly hitting $73,000 over the weekend, with geopolitical tensions weighing on market sentiment; liquidations amounted to $184.36 million in the last 24 hours. ETF Bitcoin saw net inflows of $256.8 million on Friday, while ETF Ethereum saw net inflows of $64.95 million. The market cap of these coins is down 1.4% in the last 24 hours, at $34.3 billion.

Traders’ comments: Trader CyrilXBT noted that Bitcoin remains in a price range between $68,000 and $76,000, with an upward trend still intact but lacking momentum below the 200-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA). A confirmed breakout above this level would signal strength, while a drop below would challenge it.

Ted Pillows warned of the risk of a classic bullish trap formation for Ethereum, where a perceived breakout would attract buyers before sharply reversing.

More Crypto Online stated that Solana’s price range of $72 to $78 is a support zone to watch next week, with strong price reaction potential around these levels.

ChartNerd observed that XRP seems to follow a long-term structure of ascending supports, typically beginning with a base formation, followed by corrective retests, and then parabolic movements. There could be a consolidation phase in 2026 before a possible major increase.

Cryptographic chart analyst Ali Martinez mentioned that Dogecoin is approaching the top of a triangular pattern, increasing the likelihood of a sharp movement, potentially around 30%, as volatility decreases before a breakout.
