Bitcoin, Ethereum, Dogecoin Consolidate As XRP Tries To Push Higher

Cryptocurrency markets are trading sideways on Tuesday as investors position ahead of the Federal Reserve's interest rate decision.

Notable Statistics:

• Coinglass data shows 101,022 traders were liquidated in the past 24 hours for $194.31 million.    
• SoSoValue data shows net inflows of $260 million into spot Bitcoin ETFs on Monday. Spot Ethereum ET'Fs saw net inflows of $359.7 million.

Trader Notes: Glassnode data shows the short-term holder realized price has consistently acted as a support floor this cycle. Staying above it signals a healthy uptrend, while losing it has historically triggered pullbacks or contractions.

Michael van de Poppe said BTC continues to consolidate, with $117,500 as the key resistance. A breakout above this level could pave the way toward new all-time highs.

More Crypto Online noted Ethereum remains largely unchanged since yesterday, consolidating in a holding pattern. Downside risk persists, but a breakout above $4,675 could confirm a potential bottom.

Altcoin Sherpa sees a bullish mid-term outlook supported by Dogecoin Asset Treasury (DAT) growth.
