Crypto: Bitcoin Slips Below $64K, Ethereum Leads Declines
Bitcoin fell to $63,916 (₹60.24 lakh) early Monday, down nearly 5% in 24 hours as the broader crypto market shed ~$60 billion in market cap. The 24-hour range was $62,081–$67,442, confirming the $70K level seen earlier in the week failed to hold. Trading volume remains elevated at $51.6B, suggesting active risk-off positioning.
Ethereum dropped 6.3% to $1,780 (₹1.68 lakh), underperforming BTC with a 24h range of $1,714–$1,915. The ETH/BTC ratio slipped, indicating relative weakness in altcoins vs. the dominant asset.
