BTC continued its decline on Thursday, May 14, dropping 1.5% to trade at $79,278. ETH followed the trend, trading at $2,258, down 0.7% for the day. Over the week, BTC’s performance is now negative by 2.6%, indicating intensifying selling pressure. Trading volumes remained moderate, suggesting the movement is more technical than fundamental.

This fourth consecutive day of decline reflects a sense of fatigue among investors. Traditional markets are also under pressure, with stock indices falling and a strong dollar. Furthermore, outflows from BTC ETFs have accelerated in recent days, signaling that institutional players are reducing their exposure. Some analysts point to the lack of new positive catalysts to support prices.

The $79,000 threshold is now being tested, and a break below could lead to a rapid drop towards $77,000. However, buyers might step in at these levels, which are considered attractive for long-term investors. ETH, on the other hand, appears to be holding up better, which could indicate a shift of capital from BTC to altcoins. The end of the week will be crucial in determining the market’s direction.
