Bitcoin and Ethereum Prices Slide as Selling Pressure Builds
According to CoinGecko, Bitcoin was recently trading at $68,624, which represents a decrease of 2.01% over the last 24 hours and 2.79% over the past week.
Market analyst KillaXBT predicted the price decline, noting a concerning pattern before it happened. He specifically cautioned that if the price fell below $67,900 for the week, it could lead to a drop towards $65,000.
A hold above that level, he noted, could still open a path to $69,500.
Ethereum’s price also went down recently. As of today, one ETH is worth $2,062, which is a 2.72% decrease over the last 24 hours and a 3.62% drop over the past week.
The token traded within a 24-hour range of $2,036 to $2,123 and a weekly range of $2,035 to $2,185.
Adding to the recent drop in price, data from Lookonchain shows that someone who originally bought Ethereum during its initial coin offering (ICO) sold off 11,552 ETH, worth about $23.42 million, at an average price of $2,027 per token.
The wallet originally bought 38,800 ETH during the ICO for just $12,000 at $0.31 each.

He initially deposited $500,000 in USDC only three days before experiencing significant losses. After those losses were finalized, his account held just $138,000, resulting in a total loss of $30.75 million.
Due to the market drop, Machi()’s and longs have been fully liquidated again!
He deposited 500K just 3 days ago and now only has $138K left, with total losses reaching $30.75M.
But he didn’t give up — he opened another 25x long on 1,600…
