Despite positive sentiment in global markets and a strong stock market session in Europe, cryptocurrencies are still struggling to maintain momentum in the bull market. Bitcoin retreated to $95,000 today and is now trading nearly 7% below its local highs around $102,000, which it reached shortly after testing the $90,000 level.
The leading cryptocurrency pulled back to the 61.8 Fibonacci retracement of the last upward impulse and failed to hold above the 23.6 Fibonacci level, which coincides with the psychological barrier of $100,000. Neither the weak dollar, the bull market in the US and Europe, nor the economic recovery in China translated into higher cryptocurrency prices. The TRUMP token and Ripple cryptocurrency prices are down around 5% today.

A similar stagnation is observed in Ethereum ETFs, although in the long run—similar to BTC since January—the overall balance remains highly positive. However, this has not been enough to drive prices higher, indicating that the supply likely comes from long-term holders, while trading volume in Bitcoin ETFs has recently declined. As a result, Bitcoin is finding it increasingly difficult to absorb the selling pressure.
