Bitcoin's price hovered near the $107,400 (roughly Rs. 95.4 lakh) mark on Monday as traders assessed weakening spot demand and macro uncertainty despite optimism from global liquidity injections. The broader crypto market cap stood around $3.61 trillion (roughly Rs. 3,20,61,000 crore), with most major tokens trading lower. Ethereum (ETH) followed a similar trajectory and is down by 4.44 percent to $3,700 (roughly Rs. 3.3 lakh), as per CoinMarketCap. According to the Gadgets 360 price tracker, Bitcoin is priced around Rs. 95.4 lakh, and Ethereum at Rs. 3.31 lakh.
As the price of Bitcoin continues to slide, various altcoins also saw their values decline alongside the world's most widely used cryptocurrency. Binance Coin (BNB) traded at $1,036 (roughly Rs. 91,980), down 5 percent, while Solana (SOL) slipped 5.7 percent to $176 (roughly Rs. 15,640). Dogecoin (DOGE) dropped sharply by 7.5 percent to $0.17 (roughly Rs. 15.1), and XRP was down 4 percent at $2.42 (roughly Rs. 215).
According to Mudrex CEO Edul Patel, Bitcoin remains in a consolidation phase amidst improving global liquidity, “Bitcoin is trading range-bound between $109,500 and $111,000 (roughly Rs. 97.2 lakh–Rs. 98.6 lakh), building momentum for the next leg of the rally. The crypto market is in a bullish environment, with the US and China finalizing a trade deal.”
Riya Sehgal, a research analyst at Delta Exchange, highlighted that the market is undergoing a healthy correction phase. “The crypto market slipped 1.22 percent as trapped leverage and weak spot demand pressured prices [...] A sustained move above $111,500 could trigger a bullish reversal, while a drop below $108,000 (roughly Rs. 95.8 lakh) may invite a deeper correction. Ethereum trades around $3,760 (roughly Rs. 3.34 lakh), rejecting from $3,880–$3,950 (roughly Rs. 3.44 lakh–Rs. 3.51 lakh) resistance, mirroring Bitcoin's weakness.”
Pi42 CEO Avinash Shekhar noted that Bitcoin's recent pullback reflects consolidation rather than weakness. “The recent pullback in Bitcoin's price from above $116,000 (roughly Rs. 1.03 crore) to the $106,000–$111,000 (roughly Rs. 94 lakh–Rs. 98.6 lakh) range highlights the maturing yet still sentiment-driven nature of the current crypto rally. While short-term traders are booking profits and responding to macro signals such as the Federal Reserve's policy stance, the broader trend remains constructive.”
The broader market sentiment remains mixed as traders digest regulatory headlines and macro data. Analysts expect volatility throughout the week, with Bitcoin's next move depending on liquidity flows and institutional activity.
