An overview of BTC, ETH, ARB, IMX, MKR, INJ charts, and the current cryptocurrency market dynamics.

Bitcoin (BTC)

Bitcoin’s correction continues. The asset hit a new local low of $58,486 on Monday evening, marking a 10% decline over the week. 

Currently, Bitcoin trades above the support zone of $58,500–$60,000. If buyers fail to hold this range, BTC could potentially fall to between $54,500 and $56,900, and may even test a further low of $54,000.

However, this dip is still part of a broader upward trend, and shouldn't necessarily be viewed negatively. Bitcoin's rise could resume once it firmly surpasses the resistance levels between $64,400 and $65,400 and approaches the $66,800 mark. Beyond this, BTC could aim for targets in the $71,000–$72,700 range.

Ethereum (ETH)

Ethereum continues to show a high correlation with Bitcoin. ETH has updated its local low at $3,239, but the coin is currently receiving support from the strong zone of $3,230–$3,350.

The market's response to this range will likely determine the coin’s further movement. In a positive scenario, ETH could quickly reach the resistance zone of $3,650–$3,720 and break through it, which would signal the end of the correction. 

Conversely, a deeper correction could push Ethereum down to the buyer level of $3,150.

Arbitrum (ARB)

As always, altcoins struggle during any Bitcoin correction. The ARB chart is currently exhibiting a similar pattern. A week ago, the coin reached its ATL of below $0.740, and it is now trading sideways between the support of $0.730–$0.760 and the resistance of $0.810–$0.855.

The prevailing scenario for ARB suggests a continuation of the decline. Identifying the next support level is challenging, as the ARB price has never been this low.

Discussions of a trend reversal can only begin once the price consolidates above the $0.94 level.

Immutable (IMX)

After reaching a new all-time high in March 2024, IMX has undergone a significant correction, now down by 61%. The asset has reached a critical support level at $1.40, a point dense with buy orders.

The next steps for IMX will depend heavily on Bitcoin's performance. Should BTC hold its current levels, IMX might initiate a local upward movement to challenge the resistance zone between $1.65 and $1.85.

The end of the downtrend can only be confirmed once IMX's price consistently exceeds $2.23, a milestone that requires some patience from investors.

Maker (MKR)

MKR has been trading in a sideways range for several weeks, oscillating between the support zone of $2,070–$2,170 and the resistance zone of $2,500–$2,600. This altcoin has shown resilience compared to others, suggesting strong buying interest.

Should the BTC correction persist, MKR might test a robust support level at $1,992 or even briefly fall below it. However, there is no significant downside visible for the coin at the moment.

A return to an upward trend for MKR will be indicated by the price securing above the $2,697 seller level.

Injective (INJ)

INJ is currently trading within a support range of $16.6–$20.0. This zone is pivotal for the future of Injective.

If buyers can maintain their positions and keep the price above $16.6, INJ may resume its upward trajectory, potentially reaching first the $25 mark and then advancing to the seller zone at $31.0–$34.6.

Conversely, if this support fails, INJ faces the possibility of a prolonged decline and continual setting of new lows.

BTC Dominance, Altcoin Season Index, and Fear and Greed Index

Bitcoin's dominance has seen a slight decline, nearly 1% last week, currently standing at 54.65%. Its stronghold in the market remains firm, with alternative coins growing too slowly to challenge this, hence the high dominance has been sustained for an extended period.

The Altcoin Season Index has decreased by 2 points, now at 24, reflecting the continued lack of investor interest in alternative coins and a predominant focus on BTC.

The Fear and Greed Index, for the first time in several months, has dropped below the neutral mark, now at 30 points, indicating fear in the market. Just last week, the index was indicative of greed among traders. This shift marks a negative turn in buyer sentiment and suggests a potential deepening of the market correction.
