The cryptocurrency market is in the red again. In just a few days, capitalization lost more than $110 billion, and Bitcoin is holding on the edge — around $107,000. And at this very moment, TV host and former hedge fund manager
Jim Cramer stated that ‘crypto is ready to move up.’ However, for the market, such statements are more of a warning. History shows that when Cramer talks about growth, the price often goes the other way.
Market pressure intensifies
Since the start of the week, cryptocurrency capitalization has fallen to $3.64 trillion. Bitcoin dropped 3% in a day, Ethereum, Solana, and BNB lost about 5%, and XRP fell below $2.40, failing to meet expectations for ETF approval.
Regulatory stagnation increases uncertainty. Due to the US government shutdown, the Securities and Exchange Commission froze nearly 90 applications for crypto funds, including products based on Solana and XRP. Inflows into existing Bitcoin ETFs also decreased — from $159 billion to $146 billion.
Capital returns to risk
Against the backdrop of market weakness, investors’ attention switched to a new initiative by the largest American bank — a $1.5 trillion investment program to restore US industrial infrastructure.
This project is not directly related to crypto, but the massive liquidity injection stimulates risk appetite. Analysts believe that part of the funds may seep into digital assets, increasing market volatility.
Bitcoin holds key support
The $107,000 level has become the main benchmark for traders. If buyers can hold it, institutions may continue to buy the dips and stabilize the price. Otherwise, the market may see a move to $105,000, and altcoins face a new wave of decline.
Trading volumes remain moderate, and market participants are taking a wait-and-see approach. Investors are watching ETF inflow dynamics and regulator decisions, waiting for reversal signals.
Sentiment is mixed
A short-term rebound is possible: after two days of declines, the market often recovers. But without a confident flow of funds into ETFs and without institutional participation, any growth risks remaining local.
For many, Cramer’s words sound like a reverse indicator — when he talks about growth, the market often goes down. Against the backdrop of falling capitalization and slowing ETF inflows, this sounds more like a reason for caution than a buy signal.
What’s next?
In the coming days, the market’s attention is focused on the $107,000 mark. Holding this level may revive buyer interest, while a breakdown could open the way to $105,000 and intensify the correction. The fate of Bitcoin’s next move depends on whether liquidity appears from funds and how quickly the SEC resumes operations.
