Crypto Today: Bitcoin and Ethereum gain, XRP holds steady ahead of $1 billion options expiry

Ethereum hovers just below $2,400 on Friday. The altcoin trends towards lower fees, and analysts at IntoTheBlock consider this as a key contributor to Ethereum’s underperformance. Analysts say the market effectively “rejects the thesis of ETH as money,” in a recent newsletter, explaining the decline in Ether price.

Bitcoin Weekly Forecast: Is BTC sell-off over?

Bitcoin (BTC) price declined over 6% this week until Friday as the escalation of the conflict between Iran and Israel added fuel to this sell-off. The decline was also supported by falling institutional demand for ETFs, which recorded outflows of more than $280 million this week. Some analysts suggest that the rising geopolitical conflicts could further escalate, pushing Bitcoin prices even lower potentially to $55,000. However, from a technical point of view, bulls seem to be holding strong at a critical support level.

Three reasons why Solana could see a double-digit decline

Solana (SOL) price appears to have found some support on Friday, recovering slightly from the sharp sell-off registered earlier this week. However, on-chain metrics and technical indicators show increasing chances of a further decline in prices, suggesting that the rebound could be short-lived.
