Crypto Today: Bitcoin, Ethereum correct as traders continue pulling BTC off exchanges


  • Bitcoin, Ethereum hover around key support at $57,000 and $2,300, respectively, observe slight correction on Wednesday. 
  • Bitcoin leaves exchanges in large volumes, traders pulled $14.22 billion in BTC off exchanges within the last two months. 
  • Simon’s Cat meme coin receives BNB chain ‘Meme Heroes’ reward. 

Bitcoin, Ethereum and XRP updates

  • Bitcoin trades at $57,635 at the time of writing. There were two consecutive days of inflows to Bitcoin Spot ETFs, supporting a thesis of recovery in institutional demand for the asset. 
  • Ethereum trades at $2,294 at the time of writing. The second largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization erased nearly 4% of its value on the day. While crypto market participants critique Ether for the recent correction in the asset’s price, analyst Michaël van de Poppe says he ‘remains invested’ in the Ethereum ecosystem. 
  • XRP trades at $0.5286 early on Thursday. The altcoin corrected 2% on the day, XRP traders anticipate launch of Ripple stablecoin. 

Chart of the day: Dogwifhat (WIF)

Dogwifhat (WIF) is in a multi-month downward trend that started on March 31, 2024. WIF trades at $1.533 at the time of writing. The meme coin could extend its decline and erase another 9.5% from its value by dipping to support at $1.380. 

$1.380 represents an important level for WIF, and it is the September 1 low for the asset, as seen in the WIF/USDT daily chart.

The meme coin could rally toward the imbalance zone between $1.659 and $1.764 if WIF closes above the lower boundary at $1.659. A failure to close above this level would imply further correction is likely.

Market updates

  • Bitcoin Spot ETFs note two consecutive days of inflows, $28.6 million on September 9 and $117 million on September 10, according to data from Farside Investors. As Bitcoin ETFs see positive net flows, it points to likely recovery in institutional investor demand for the asset. 
  • BNB chain announced the winner of its ‘Meme Heroes’ program, Simon’s Cat meme coin received a reward of $50,000 as support to its liquidity pool.
  • Indodax exchange loses $22 million in a hack on September 11, per Lookonchain data. The hacker converted the tokens into Ethereum (ETH), Tron (TRX), Polygon token (POL) and 25 Bitcoin (BTC). Traders should keep their eyes peeled for selling pressure on these assets across crypto exchanges. 

Industry updates 

  • Data from CryptoQuant shows that $14.22 billion in Bitcoin has been pulled off exchanges in the last two months. A reduction in Bitcoin reserves on exchanges eases the selling pressure in the asset and points at potential for gains.
