Bitcoin (BTC) Market Update

Bitcoin’s price hovered around $104,000 on June 65, after briefly touching the $100,500 mark during a sell-off6. CoinMarketCap reports BTC at roughly $104,957 (up ~2.4%) at the time7. Traders note key resistance near $106,000 and support at $100,000; the price holding above $100k has been seen as a bullish floor. Bitcoin dominance in the market remains high (~63.7%)8, underscoring its central role in market movements.

Ethereum (ETH) Market Performance

Ethereum (ETH) was trading near $2,488 (market cap ~$300.2B) as of this report9. The ETH price has been volatile: on June 6 it plunged from around $2,600 to a low near $2,385 and then rebounded to about $2,52010. This V-shaped recovery suggests strong buying interest at lower levels. In the last 24h ETH was up ~1.3%11 with a trading volume around $17.2B12. Analysts point to resistance in the $2,575–$2,600 zone and support around the $2,200s; breach of either level could signal the next directional move13. (Ethereum’s transaction base-fee burn from EIP-1559 also steadily reduces supply over time14, a factor that can support price in a bullish scenario.)

BNB and Solana Performance

Binance Coin (BNB) traded near $634 on June 6, down about 4.5% over 24 hours15. CoinGecko data shows BNB at $634.15 (–4.5%) on that date16. The price is approaching support around $630–$635, after falling through the 20-day EMA (~$657). If support holds, a recovery toward $650–$700 could be seen. Meanwhile, Solana (SOL) saw a sharp flash crash. CoinDesk reports SOL dropped 8.1% intraday to roughly $141.75, then buyers stepped in and SOL recovered toward $147.4017. This sharp sell-off followed by quick rebound suggests continued strong demand near $14218. Overall, SOL remains in a short-term range, with resistance around $150–$15219.
