Bitcoin trades at $70,875 this Friday, down 2.5% on the day but up 5.0% on the week. Ether falls to $2,075, losing 2.4% on the day. Trading volumes remain high, but sellers take over after yesterday’s rally. This pullback is seen as a natural correction after Thursday’s strong gains.
This decline is driven by massive profit-taking. Investors who benefited from the surge to $72,670 are locking in gains before the weekend. Traditional markets, slightly lower, offer no additional support. Bitcoin is testing the $70,800 level, which could serve as support if the uptrend holds. Ether, though down, remains above $2,000, limiting concerns. This behavior is typical of a market seeking to consolidate gains after a volatile week.
The impact of today is that of a healthy breather. The 2.5% correction does not erase the week’s gains, and Bitcoin remains in positive territory over seven days. Traders see this as an opportunity to buy at a discount, while others wait for stabilization. If Bitcoin holds above $70,000, the prospect of a recovery remains intact. However, a drop below this threshold could revive doubts. For now, the market closes the week on a cautious but overall positive note.
