Leading cryptocurrencies Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and Ripple (XRP) slipped lower on Wednesday, weighed down by rising geopolitical tensions and risk-off market sentiment. As concerns mount over a possible U.S. military intervention in the Israel-Iran conflict, digital assets are facing renewed pressure, with key technical indicators flashing red across the board.
₿ Bitcoin Slides Toward $100K as Key Support Weakens
Bitcoin is currently trading around $105,000, down roughly 2% from Tuesday, following a multi-day drop from its recent peak. Technical analysis points to a bearish Fair Value Gap (FVG) near $108,064, which has acted as a resistance zone.
Key signals:
- 50-day EMA support sits near $103,070
- A daily close below this EMA could send BTC down to test the $100,000 psychological level
- RSI has dropped below 50, confirming bearish momentum
- MACD continues to show a bearish crossover with expanding red histogram bars
📉 If BTC fails to hold $103,070, traders should watch for a sharp dip toward the $100K zone.
📈 However, a daily close above $108,064 could shift sentiment and trigger a rally toward $111,980, the May 22 all-time high.
🟣 Ethereum Faces Breakdown if $2,434 Support Fails
Ethereum (ETH) is struggling to maintain its range and trades near $2,500, down from recent highs. After failing to hold support at $2,724, ETH reversed sharply and now hovers near its 50-day EMA at $2,434.
Key levels:
- Support: $2,434 (EMA), $2,461 (consolidation base)
- Next downside target: $2,000 if the 50-day EMA fails
- RSI below 50 confirms bearish tone
- MACD shows persistent bearish crossover
📉 If ETH breaks below the $2,434 zone, expect sellers to push toward the $2,000 region.
📈 A bounce from $2,461 may trigger a recovery toward $2,724.
🔴 Ripple Struggles Under 50-Day EMA, Bearish Momentum Builds
XRP is trading around $2.16, failing to reclaim the 50-day EMA at $2.24. After multiple attempts to break above resistance, the token has retreated, showing signs of further downside.
Technical outlook:
- Immediate support at $1.96
- RSI stands at 44, pointing downward
- MACD signals continued bearish trend with crossover confirmation
📉 If selling continues, XRP could fall toward the $1.96 support zone.
📈 Only a decisive move above $2.24 would invalidate the bearish setup and hint at recovery.
