Bitcoin remains around $88,000, with liquidations at $272.82 million over the past 24 hours.   

Bitcoin ETFs saw $6.84 million in net inflows on Monday, while Ethereum ETFs reported $117 million in net inflows.

The meme coin sector rose 2.7% to $43.6 billion, tracking broader market strength.

Trader Commentary: Crypto trader Jelle said Bitcoin continues to chop while holding key support, frustrating traders. Similar messy structures earlier this cycle looked broken before quickly reversing higher, giving little reason to think this setup is different.

Andrew Crypto noted that on lower timeframes, Bitcoin could sweep liquidity near $85,000 into the FOMC before bouncing toward $92,000. The nearest heavy liquidity sits below price around $84,800–$86,800, making downside the closer draw, though not guaranteed.

Dami-Defi highlighted that Ethereum is still respecting its rising trendline around $2,800–$2,850. As long as this holds, bullish structure remains intact. A clean break above $3,300–$3,400 would confirm upside toward $3,600–$4,000, while a daily close below the trendline shifts focus to $2,700.

Castillo Trading compared Solana's current setup to 2021, when an expected deep retrace never came and price front-ran higher. While many expect a move into the $60–$50 zone, downside expectations may be too crowded.

Whale Factor said XRP is testing key trendline resistance, signalling imminent volatility. A breakout targets $2.10, while rejection could send price back toward $1.80 support.

Trader Tardigrade noted Dogecoin tends to stay flat during gold's mania phase, with historical cycles showing DOGE often surges once gold tops and momentum fades.
