Crypto Crash Today: Bitcoin Slips to $74K as Most Large Caps Turn Down

Bitcoin just printed a 12-week low, and almost every large coin is bleeding with it.

The crypto crash today is a leverage flush on top of a weak trend. Bitcoin trades at $74,448, 4.97% lower this week, after touching $73,631 this morning. Ether is down 5.26% today.

The good news: both coins are now sitting on support the altFINS analysts call robust. Here is what the live data says, which levels decide the next move and how to trade it without guessing.

⚡ Quick Take

  • Bitcoin: $74,448, -1.89% today, testing the $73K to $75K support zone.
  • Breadth: 47 of the 54 coins above $1B are red today. 40 are in a medium-term downtrend.
  • Key levels: $75,000 and $70,000 support on BTC, $83,000 resistance.
  • This week: US CPI and PPI data could decide the next leg.

Why Is Crypto Crashing Today?

Crypto is crashing today because Bitcoin broke down from its uptrend pattern and forced selling took over. About $1 billion in leveraged positions were liquidated in 24 hours.

The selling did not start today. Bitcoin ETFs saw roughly $1.3 billion in outflows last week. Total crypto market value dropped by about $150 billion to $2.57 trillion.

Traders are also waiting on US inflation data this week. When the macro picture is unclear, crypto usually sells first.

How Bad Is the Crypto Crash Today?

It is broad: 47 of the 54 regular coins worth more than $1 billion are down today, and 47 are down for the week. Only a handful are holding up.

XRP and Solana now have an RSI below 30, which means oversold. In total 7 large caps are oversold: XRP, SOL, XLM, TON, OKB, DEXE, ASTER. Pepe and Arbitrum are rare green spots.

The trend picture is the real warning. 23 large caps are in a Strong Down medium-term trend, 7 are Neutral and just 7 are trending up.

Bitcoin Price Today: What Do the altFINS Analysts Expect?

The altFINS analysts have a Neutral near-term outlook on Bitcoin: price has reached $75K support, and a bounce toward $83K is possible. They updated the setup this morning.

Bitcoin broke down from a Rising Wedge and fell to the $75K zone. That zone is strong because the 200-day average sits right below it at $73,196. Bitcoin is 8.8% under its 50-day average but still 1.7% above the 200-day.

📊 Bitcoin Levels (altFINS analysts)

  • Price now: $74,448  |  RSI 14: 34.6
  • Support: $75,000, then the 200-day average near $73,196
  • Next support: $70,000 (6% below)
  • Resistance: $83,000 (11.5% above), then $90,000

Three scenarios for the next one to two weeks:

  • Bullish: Bitcoin holds $73K to $75K and bounces to $83,000, the first real test of buyers.
  • Neutral: Bitcoin chops between $73,000 and $78,000 while traders wait for the CPI print.
  • Bearish: a daily close below the 200-day average sends Bitcoin toward $70,000.

Ethereum Price: Is $2,100 Support Holding?

Ethereum is testing $2,100 to $2,150, a support zone the altFINS analysts rate as robust because it lines up with the 200-day average. ETH dipped to $2,082.47 today.

ETH broke down from a Channel Up pattern and is 14.34% lower this month. A bounce could reach $2,400, the old support that is now resistance (13.2% above). A break above it would put $2,700 back in play. Below the zone, the next support is $1,800.

How Do You Tell a Bounce From a Deeper Crash?

Wait for proof: a daily close back above the broken level, RSI recovering above 30 to 35, and a higher low on the chart. One green candle is not a trend change.

  1. Let support prove itself. Bitcoin should close the day above $75,000, not just wick below it.
  2. Watch momentum turn. The altFINS signal feed flags fresh bullish MACD crosses and RSI recoveries as they happen.
  3. Define your exit first. A trade from the support zone needs a stop below the 200-day average.

Example: an entry near $74,500 with a stop at $72,900 risks 2.1%. A move to $83,000 pays 5.3 to 1. In a crash, size small, because volatility can run through stops.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is crypto crashing today?

Crypto is falling today because Bitcoin lost its 50-day average and leveraged traders got squeezed. About $1 billion in positions were liquidated in 24 hours, Bitcoin ETFs saw roughly $1.3 billion in outflows last week, and traders are cautious ahead of US inflation data.

Will crypto crash more?

It can, if support breaks. The altFINS analysts watch $75,000 and the 200-day average near $73,200 on Bitcoin. A daily close below that zone would open the way to $70,000. Holding it keeps a bounce toward $83,000 on the table. Watch the levels, not the headlines.

Is the crypto crash over?

Not yet confirmed. 40 of the 54 largest coins on altFINS are still in a medium-term downtrend, and only 7 are trending up. A real turn needs Bitcoin to reclaim $83,000 and form higher lows. Until then, treat bounces as relief rallies inside a downtrend.
