Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP, Dogecoin Continue Slide Lower

Major cryptocurrencies opened Monday in retreat, sparking worries of an extended slide. Bitcoin slipped to roughly $116 k, while Ethereum, Solana, XRP and Dogecoin all traded lower, deepening the red across digital-asset markets.

Key Takeaways:

  • Bitcoin dropped to $116,355.23 on Monday.
  • Ethereum traded near $4,369.60 amid the broader sell-off.
  • Solana, XRP and Dogecoin also lost ground.
  • Analysts fear the downturn could deepen in coming sessions.

Markets in Retreat
Cryptocurrency markets are trading lower on Monday, with analysts fearing a further slide in prices. The red ink touched everything from the largest digital coin to the meme-token fringe, underscoring a day of broad weakness.

Prices at a Glance

Across-the-Board Losses
The simultaneous drop in Bitcoin and Ethereum set the tone, pulling smaller tokens down as well. Solana slipped below the $200 mark, XRP hovered just over $3, and Dogecoin fell back toward twenty-two cents.

Analyst Caution
“Analysts [are] fearing a further slide in prices,” the report notes, a sentiment that hung over trading desks throughout the day. With every major coin in negative territory, the focus has turned to whether sellers will press their advantage or buyers will step in to stabilize the market.

Outlook
For now, cryptocurrencies remain under pressure as the week begins. Whether Monday’s decline marks the start of a deeper correction—or merely a pause in a volatile market—will come into sharper relief as traders digest the latest bout of selling.
