Market Analysis: Correction After Gains, RSI in Elevated Zone

The market is seeing a classic correction after earlier gains. Bitcoin processed about 1,07 million transactions over 24 hours, which at a price of around $81 000 and a 0,96% daily decline looks like stable but not hot demand. The daily RSI is 61,5, so there is no overbought condition. The EMA 9 and EMA 21 moving averages are in a bullish setup, but MACD signals cooling momentum. The funding rate of 0,008% remains neutral, and the Fear & Greed Index at 53 points reflects sentiment between fear and greed.

Bitcoin is trending on CoinGecko, which keeps investor attention elevated. If the bullish EMA structure holds, consolidation or a test of higher levels is possible. Further MACD cooling could increase the risk of a correction. This is not investment advice.

🔑 Key Takeaways

  • Total crypto market capitalization stands at $2,79 trillion.
  • BTC dominance calculated from capitalization is 58,25%.
  • In the top 10, only Figure Heloc and stablecoins are gaining over 24 hours.
  • RSI for Solana is 73 and for Ethereum 72,5, signaling cooling risk.
  • Zcash loses 8,75% over 24 hours and 16,92% over 7 days.

💡 Good to Know

CryptoPulsar AI analysis flagged the project Verified Emeralds as suspicious. The price of VEREM rose 144% over 24 hours and 693% over 30 days, but volume is only $633,6 thousand and only 5% of supply is in circulation. The base scenario assumes a correction to the $8,00-12,00 range. The project does not present proven utility or development fundamentals, and the price remains 94% below its all-time high.

Ethereum and Solana: Exchange Inflows and Large Transfers

Ethereum falls 3,07% to $2 342,72 with 24h volume of $8,52 billion. The daily RSI is 72,5, close to overbought. At the same time MACD and the EMA 9/21 crossover remain bullish, while perpetual futures funding is very low at around 0,0047%, meaning there is no strong leverage on one side. MEV risk is assessed at 55/100, so conditions are moderately safe.

Fresh on-chain data from Bitquery shows that over the last 4 hours about 2420 ETH net hit exchanges, and within one hour 13 large transfers above 500 ETH were recorded, with the largest at around 2500 ETH. Such an inflow increases ETH supply on exchanges and may create short-term price pressure. The Bitquery list also includes transfers of 894 ETH, 480 ETH and 170,27 ETH.

Ethereum is facing supply pressure: about 2420 ETH net reached exchanges over the last 4 hours. Such an inflow increases ETH supply on exchanges and may create short-term price pressure, especially with the daily RSI at 72,5.

Solana is down 3,10% to $100,81. The chain is seeing broad activity: 3,66 million transactions in 24 hours, and 38 transfers above 10 000 SOL were recorded in the last hour, with the largest moves at around 930 thousand SOL, or about $95 million. Such heavy reshuffling with daily volume of around $2,12 billion may increase volatility. Trend indicators MACD and the EMA 9/21 crossover remain bullish, but RSI at 73 signals overbought.

Solana contract funding remains neutral (0,0023%), so leverage does not point to extreme emotions. If the large transfers turn out to be supply pressure, SOL may test lower levels. If they are internal transfers, pressure may be limited.

What Does the CryptoPulsar Market Cycle Say?

Market cycle indicators published on the CryptoPulsar market cycle show moderate activity levels. Solana scored 35,8/50, Bitcoin 34,3/50, XRP 33,4/50, BNB 32,1/50, and Ethereum 31,9/50. This suggests the market is not in euphoria, but there is no panic either.

For Bitcoin, the Fear & Greed Index is 53 points, and the funding rate of 0,008% remains neutral. For XRP, RSI of 56,4 remains neutral, EMA 9/21 is bullish, but MACD signals cooling. XRP perpetual futures funding stands at 0,0082%.

BNB, in turn, recorded 152 thousand transactions in 24 hours and two large transfers of about 595 BNB each in the last hour. RSI of 69 on the daily interval is close to overbought but not extreme. MACD signals cooling, while the 9- and 21-day moving averages remain bullish.

TRON falls 0,79% to $0,3316 and is one of the few top 10 altcoins still in positive territory over 7 days (+0,33%). 24h volume is $266,75 million.
