The overall crypto price chart indicated a slowed market momentum on Tuesday, December 31. After marking a stellar December with a new all-time high of over $108,000 (roughly Rs. 92.4 lakh), Bitcoin's trading value on Tuesday was at $92,458 (roughly Rs. 79.13 lakh) on international exchanges. Data by CoinMarketCap showed that Bitcoin registered a loss of 0.98 percent on foreign exchanges in the last 24 hours. On Indian exchanges, meanwhile, the asset incurred a dip of around 1.88 percent. Bitcoin is trading at around $100,308 (roughly Rs. 85.8 lakh) on platforms like CoinSwitch and CoinDCX.

“Bitcoin briefly rallied near the $95,000 (roughly Rs. 81.3 lakh) mark before long-term holders booked profits bringing the price back to $92,400 (roughly Rs. 79 lakh). Over $259 million (roughly Rs. 2,216 crore) in liquidations in the past 24 hours have also added to the pressure. While retail investors are selling, institutions like MicroStrategy are taking advantage of this correction. The investor sentiment towards the market remains strong,” Mudrex CEO Edul Patel told Gadgets 360.

Ether tailed Bitcoin on the loss-making side of the crypto chart on Tuesday. The asset clocked a loss of 1.76 percent over the last day on foreign exchanges. At the time of writing, ETH was trading at $3,332 (roughly Rs. 2.85 lakh) on global platforms, showed CoinMarketCap.

“Ethereum is showing bearish signals because of market-wide weakness but looks to be pulling away from it. The renewed upturn in funding rates signals the confidence of investors on ETH amid its possible recovery. Such increased trading volume indicates that the market sentiment may indeed be shifting towards bullishness in the midst of bearish action,” Avinash Shekhar, Co-Founder & CEO, Pi42 told Gadgets 360.

The crypto price tracker by Gadgets 360 showed that majority cryptocurrencies are trading in losses alongside Bitcoin and Ether on Tuesday.

These include Ripple, Solana, Dogecoin, Cardano, Tron, Avalanche, and Chainlink.
