🚨 Crypto Market Alert: Bitcoin Plunges Below $108K While XRP Paints Bullish Flag - ETH Stumbles Under $2.6K (July 5, 2025)

Crypto markets hit turbulence as Bitcoin fails to hold $108K support—traders brace for volatility ahead.

XRP's bullish flag pattern sparks speculation of a 25% breakout... if it can dodge the SEC's long shadow.

Ethereum tumbles below $2.6K as gas fees ironically rise—because nothing says 'scaling solution' like paying $50 for a token swap.

Meanwhile, Wall Street analysts still can't decide if crypto is 'digital gold' or a 'speculative asset'—pro tip: it's both, just like your Tesla shares.

Bitcoin Lost $108K Stand

At the time of writing the report, Bitcoin (BTC) is in a nose dive down below $108,00,0, which it recently regained. The price is holding steady at around $107,873. This is down 1.64% recorded in the last 24 hours from an intraday high of $110.360.

Trading activities have also decreased with a 32% drop over the same period to $40 billion and a 1.64% drop in market capitalization to $2.14 trillion. However, looking at the daily chart via TradingView, the price has formed a bullish flag pattern, as it consolidated downwards from May 17, 2025. This suggests that a rally might come soon, with a possibility of reaching a new high record. But, on the immediate trend, the market is bearish after tapping off a resistance zone at $110,718.

XRP Eyes $3.20 Amid Bullish Pennant

XRP seems to share a similar price action with Bitcoin. Its price dropped by 2.63 in 24 hours after tapping off a demand zone at $2.30. Currently, XRP is trading for $2.22. The price has been stuck between the resistance zone of $2.61 and the support zone $1.9 since last December, creating a bullish pennant flag on the way. The flag usually suggests that a rally might come soon, and analysts have projected a target of $3.20 if the price breaks out of the pattern. This is a 43% rally from its current price.

However, the immediate trend is settling. Trading activities have dropped by a massive 52% today alone to $2.33 billion, with a 2.26% drop in market cap, according to CoinMarketCap.

ETH Drops Below $2,600

Ethereum ETH price has also lost 2.87% of its recent gains. At the moment, the price is hovering around $2500 from a daily high of $2,602. Trading volume has also dropped massively, currently at a minus 43% today to $15 billion in trading volume with a market cap of $302 billion.
