Crypto Today: Bitcoin consolidates near $61,000, Ethereum hovers around $2,400, XRP adds nearly 3%


  • Bitcoin holds steady at around $61,000 on Thursday, noting $30.6 million outflows across ETFs the prior day. 
  • Ethereum ranges below $2,400 as all Ether ETFs noted neutral flows on Wednesday.
  • XRP adds 3% to its value and trades above $0.5300 on Thursday.

Bitcoin, Ethereum and XRP updates

  • Bitcoin (BTC) Spot Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) observed $30.6 million in outflows on Wednesday. The largest crypto-asset by market capitalization trades at $61,039 at the time of writing on Thursday and adds nearly 0.6% value on the day. 
  • Ethereum (ETH) Spot ETFs recorded neutral flows the prior day, while ETH trades at $2,391 at the time of writing on Thursday. 
  • XRP trades at $0.5381, adding nearly 3% value on Thursday.

Chart of the day: Uniswap (UNI)

Uniswap ranks among tokens that yielded relatively high gains for holders in the last 24 hours. UNI added over 10% to its value sometime in this period, trading at $8.081 at the time of writing on Thursday. UNI broke out of its downward trend on October 5.

UNI gears for extended gains and eyes for a rally to the upper boundary of the Fair Value Gap (FVG) between $8.799 and $8.585. UNI could rally by over 10% from the current price level. 

The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicator shows green histogram bars, signaling underlying positive momentum in UNI’s price trend.

If Uniswap closes below the 50-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) at $7.196 the bullish thesis for UNI could be invalidated. 

Market updates

  • The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) launched a token NexFundAI as bait to catch market manipulators. The agency identified the manipulator of the SAITAMA token, according to on-chain data.
  • Crypto Fear & Greed Index turned to “fear” from “neutral” on Thursday. This means sentiment among traders has shifted, if it turns to “Extreme fear” it marks a buying opportunity.
