Crypto Market Stalls as Bitcoin Holds Near $91,000 and Ethereum Tests Long-Term Support

Defensive options pricing, heavy ETF outflows and record Binance leverage are straining liquidity.

Overview

  • Bitcoin rebounded from a low near $89,250 and is consolidating below $93,500–$94,200 resistance as traders price roughly 50% odds it ends 2025 under $90,000, according to Derive.xyz.
  • Spot crypto ETFs have swung to sizable outflows, with Bitcoin products posting nearly $3 billion in gross withdrawals this month (about $2.5 billion net), weakening the institutional bid.
  • Ethereum is hovering around $3,000 after a dip to $2,941, holding above its 200‑week moving average but facing overhead resistance around $3,150–$3,250.
  • CryptoQuant data highlight elevated stress for ETH on Binance, with a record Estimated Leverage Ratio near 0.5617 and an inflow of roughly 509,900 ETH that raises liquidation risk.
  • XRP trades near $2.12–$2.15 as supply in profit drops to about 58.5%, and early spot ETF launches have yet to deliver sustained price support.
