Bitcoin struggles to hold above the 200-day EMA as institutional investors increase demand for ETFs. Ethereum declines for the third consecutive day, targeting $3,680 support. Bears tighten grip on XRP as Death Cross pattern highlights a weakening technical structure. Bitcoin ($BTC ) steadies above $108,000 at the time of writing on Wednesday, after facing rejection from resistance at $114,000 the previous day. However, a resurgence of BTC spot Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) inflows supports a short-term bullish outlook. Meanwhile, Ethereum (ETH) and Ripple (XRP) show signs of weakness amid negative market sentiment due to macroeconomic uncertainty, profit booking and the lack of key price catalysts to sustain their recovery. Data spotlight: Bitcoin, Ethereum ETF inflows signal institutional demand: Bitcoin spot ETFs listed in the US saw inflows of approximately $477 million on Tuesday, breaking four consecutive days of outflows. The bullish comeback reflects steady demand from institutional investors, with the cumulative total net inflow near $62 billion. ETFs have been a significant driver of Bitcoin’s rally, often signaling growing investor interest. If inflows continue to trickle in, the odds of a rebound toward the range high of $114,000 will significantly increase as selling pressure is absorbed. On the other hand, Ethereum spot ETFs experienced inflows of nearly $142 million on Tuesday, signaling the risk-on sentiment surrounding the largest smart contracts token. Cumulatively, Ethereum ETFs have a total net inflow of approximately $15 billion with net assets averaging $27 billion. To sustain the Ethereum price above the $4,000 level, institutions need to steadily pile into ETFs, which often boosts confidence for retail investors. Chart of the day: Bitcoin fluctuates as bulls lose grip: Bitcoin trades above the 200-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) at $108,070, while bulls struggle to stabilize the price following rejection at the $114,000 resistance level. The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) and the SuperTrend indicators highlight a bearish technical structure, increasing the odds of extending the decline toward BTC’s October lows of $102,000. A sell signal maintained by the MACD since October 10 amid the largest deleveraging event that saw $19 billion in total crypto liquidations, encourages investors to reduce risk exposure. The SuperTrend indicator also flipped bearish on the same day, flashing a sell signal on the daily chart. If sentiment remains dull in the coming days, price fluctuations between $102,000 and $114,000 could continue. A daily close above the 200-day EMA at $108,070 would confirm to traders that sentiment is stable, likely ushering in a sustained recovery. Altcoins update: Ethereum, XRP prolong decline : Ethereum has fallen below the 100-day EMA, currently at $3,967, and is seeking support above $3,800 at the time of writing. The smart contracts token’s technical picture reflects risk-off sentiment, clinging to the cryptocurrency market since the trade stand-off between the US and China reignited earlier this month. Sellers appear to be having the upper hand, citing a MACD sell signal triggered on October 10 and a downward-trending Relative Strength Index (RSI) below the neutral level of 50, indicating that bearish momentum is increasing. Key areas of interest for traders are the immediate round-number support at $3,800, the demand area of $3,680, tested on Friday, and the 200-day EMA at $3,569. Still, an immediate rebound above the $4,000 level cannot be ruled out, especially with institutions seeking exposure through ETFs. As for XRP, bulls are battling to reclaim the $2.40 level at the time of writing on Wednesday. A Death Cross pattern on the daily chart, formed when the 50-day EMA crossed below the 100-day EMA, points to persistent negative sentiment in the broader crypto market. Traders should be watchful for price action toward the next support at $2.18, which may keep bears determined to push XRP to the next level at $1.90, as tested in June. The MACD indicator remains bearish as shown on the daily chart, with investors likely to continue reducing their exposure as selling pressure intensifies. If retail investors buy the dip and increase exposure, an immediate recovery toward the 200-day EMA at $2.61 would occur. Other key levels worth monitoring for a medium-term outlook include the 50-day EMA at $2.71 and the 100-day EMA at $2.75. $ETH $XRP
