Cryptocurrency Market Update: Bitcoin Slumps Below $70K, Ether Price Drops, and Solana Outperforms

Bitcoin and Ethereum experienced a 5%-6% drop before rebounding, while Solana outperformed and could potentially reach $250 after clearing a key resistance level. Bitcoin fell below $69,000 before buyers stepped in, leading to a rebound to $70,500. Other major altcoins like Ripple, Matic, and Avax also lost 5%-7% before retracing some losses. Solana's native token (SOL) showed relative strength amid the market slump, benefitting from capital rotation as Bitcoin's rally slowed. Analysts noted potential consolidation for Bitcoin and forecasted more gains for SOL, targeting its all-time record prices from 2021.
