Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP, Dogecoin Pause Ahead Of FOMC Minutes Release

Bitcoin is trading around $87,000 on Tuesday as liquidations stand at $188.74 million over the past 24 hours.? ??

Bitcoin ETFs saw $19.3 million in net outflows on Monday, while Ethereum ETFs reported $9.63 million in net outflows.

What's Holding Markets Back

Michael van de Poppe said Bitcoin continues to face rejection above $88,000 and remains locked in a multi-week consolidation range.

While prolonged compression often precedes a major move, he stressed that patience is required until a clear breakout or breakdown emerges.

Crypto chart analyst Ali Martinez noted that Bitcoin printed a death cross between the 10-week and 50-week simple moving averages about three weeks ago.

The pattern is historically bearish and signals weakening momentum.

Ted Pillows said the release of the FOMC minutes could trigger short-term volatility.

For any sustained upside, Ethereum must reclaim and hold above the $3,000 level, which he identified as a key pivot.

Crypto Tony highlighted $118 as a critical support level for Solana. A clean break below this zone would significantly weaken its technical structure.

The broader meme coin market slipped 0.9% to a total market capitalization of $42.2 billion.

Crypto trader Javon Marks said Dogecoin's breakout target stands near $0.6533, representing roughly 401% upside from current levels.

He added that price action since early 2022 continues to suggest a broader uptrend.

A decisive move above $0.6533 could open the door to a rally toward $1.25.
