What to know:

  • Bitcoin rebounded from a sharp early selloff on Thursday to trade above $93,000 shortly after the close of U.S. stocks.
  • The late-day gain in bitcoin came alongside a rebound in the Nasdaq from big morning losses; the tech index closed with just a 0.25% loss.
  • Downward pressure on bitcoin is losing steam, said one analyst, but the market is not yet out of the woods.

Bitcoin BTC$93,087.73 clawed back to $93,000 on Thursday as traders digested the Fed decision, but altcoins mostly didn't join in the bounce.

Slipping to $89,000 after the Federal Reserve’s Wednesday rate cut and a sharply lower open for U.S. stocks, bitcoin recently was trading at $93,000, up marginally over the past 24 hours.

Altcoins mostly held onto their early losses, with Cardano's ADA ADA$0.4259 and Avalanche's AVAX (AVAX) leading declines, down 6%-7%. Ether ETH$3,259.04 was 3% lower on the day, holding above $3,200.

Bitcoin's late-day bounce came alongside similar action in U.S. stocks, with the Nasdaq managing to close down just 0.25% after being as much as 1.5% lower. The S&P 500 closed modestly in the green and the DJIA gained 1.3%..

The day's standout rally came from precious metals, with silver surging 5% to a fresh all-time high of $64 per ounce and gold climbing over 1% to near $4,300. The advance was helped by the U.S. dollar index (DXY) slipping to its weakest since mid-October.

Crypto exchange Gemini stood out among crypto stocks, gaining over 30% on news of obtaining regulatory approval to offer prediction markets in the U.S.

Crypto diverges from equities

Jasper De Maere, desk strategist at trading firm Wintermute, said Thursday’s action reinforced crypto’s growing decoupling from equities, especially around macro catalysts.

"Only 18% of the past year’s sessions have seen BTC outperform the Nasdaq on macro days," he noted. "Yesterday fit that pattern: equities rallied while crypto sold off, suggesting the rate cut was fully priced and that marginal easing is no longer providing support."

De Maere added that early signs of stagflation concerns are emerging into the first half of 2026, and markets are beginning to shift focus from Fed policy toward U.S. crypto regulation as the next major driver.

Bitcoin sell pressure waning

Analytics firm Swissblock noted the downward pressure on bitcoin is losing steam, with the market stabilizing but not yet out of the woods.

"The second selling wave is weaker than the first, and selling pressure is not intensifying," the firm said in an X post. "There are signs of stabilization... but not confirmation."

Whales Dump 200 Million XRP in Just 2 Weeks – Is XRP’s Price on the Verge of Collapse?

Whales Dump 200 Million XRP in Just 2 Weeks – Is XRP’s Price on the Verge of Collapse?

Whales offload 200 million XRP leaving market uncertainty behind. XRP faces potential collapse as whales drive major price shifts. Is XRP’s future in danger after massive sell-off by whales? XRP’s price has been under intense pressure recently as whales reportedly offloaded a staggering 200 million XRP over the past two weeks. This massive sell-off has raised alarms across the cryptocurrency community, as many wonder if the market is on the brink of collapse or just undergoing a temporary correction. According to crypto analyst Ali (@ali_charts), this surge in whale activity correlates directly with the price fluctuations seen in the past few weeks. XRP experienced a sharp spike in late July and early August, but the price quickly reversed as whales began to sell their holdings in large quantities. The increased volume during this period highlights the intensity of the sell-off, leaving many traders to question the future of XRP’s value. Whales have offloaded around 200 million $XRP in the last two weeks! pic.twitter.com/MiSQPpDwZM — Ali (@ali_charts) September 17, 2025 Also Read: Shiba Inu’s Price Is at a Tipping Point: Will It Break or Crash Soon? Can XRP Recover or Is a Bigger Decline Ahead? As the market absorbs the effects of the whale offload, technical indicators suggest that XRP may be facing a period of consolidation. The Relative Strength Index (RSI), currently sitting at 53.05, signals a neutral market stance, indicating that XRP could move in either direction. This leaves traders uncertain whether the XRP will break above its current resistance levels or continue to fall as more whales sell off their holdings. Source: Tradingview Additionally, the Bollinger Bands, suggest that XRP is nearing the upper limits of its range. This often points to a potential slowdown or pullback in price, further raising concerns about the future direction of the XRP. With the price currently around $3.02, many are questioning whether XRP can regain its footing or if it will continue to decline. The Aftermath of Whale Activity: Is XRP’s Future in Danger? Despite the large sell-off, XRP is not yet showing signs of total collapse. However, the market remains fragile, and the price is likely to remain volatile in the coming days. With whales continuing to influence price movements, many investors are watching closely to see if this trend will reverse or intensify. The coming weeks will be critical for determining whether XRP can stabilize or face further declines. The combination of whale offloading and technical indicators suggest that XRP’s price is at a crossroads. Traders and investors alike are waiting for clear signals to determine if the XRP will bounce back or continue its downward trajectory.
