Cryptocurrencies Price Prediction: Bitcoin, Cardano & Ripple – European Wrap 28 February

Bitcoin Weekly Forecast: BTC bloodbath continues, near 30% down from its ATH

Bitcoin (BTC) price extends its decline and trades below $80,000 at the time of writing on Friday, falling over 15% so far this week. This price correction wiped $660 billion of market capitalization from the overall crypto market and saw $3.68 billion in total liquidations this week. Moreover, US Bitcoin spot Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) data supported BTC’s decline as it recorded a total net outflow of $2.48 billion until Thursday, indicating signs of weakness among institutional investors.

Bitcoin price declined more than 18% this week from Monday’s high of $96,500 to Friday’s low of $78,258, the highest weekly fall in the last three years. BTC has corrected nearly 30% from its all-time high (ATH) of $109,588 marked on January 20. 

Cardano Price Forecast: ADA poised for double-digit drop amid market weakness

Cardano (ADA) price is extending its decline by nearly 7%, trading around $0.60 on Friday after falling 23% this week. Santiment data support this decline as ADA daily active addresses are falling, and the technical outlook indicates a continued correction, with ADA potentially facing an additional double-digit decline.

Cardano price faced rejection around its descending trendline (drawn by connecting multiple highs since mid-January) on February 21, and it declined 15% until Monday, closing below its weekly support level at $0.74. ADA continued its decline in the next three days by nearly 6%. At the time of writing on Friday, it continues its correction, trading around $0.59.
