By CapitalKeeper | Crypto Market Pulse | Crypto Capital | Market Moves That Matter
Daily Crypto Market Pulse (22/09/2025): Bitcoin steadies at $112,939 while ETH trades near $4,199. Altcoins like SOL, XRP, DOGE, and new tokens see mixed action. Full analysis with trends and outlook.
Crypto Market Pulse – 22nd September 2025
The global crypto market entered Monday’s trade on a cautious note, witnessing a steep decline across major assets. According to CoinMarketCap data at 7:25 AM IST, the total market capitalization fell sharply to $3.89 trillion, down 3.71%, while the CMC20 Index slipped 3.58% to $247.45. The Altcoin Index dropped to 62/100, reflecting weakening momentum outside of Bitcoin and Ethereum. Meanwhile, the Fear & Greed Index hovered at 47 (Neutral Zone), suggesting investors remain cautious but not outright fearful.
Bitcoin (BTC) – Still Above $112K Despite Pressure
- Price: $112,939.11
- Market Cap: $2.25T
- 24h Performance: Negative, but holding key support
Bitcoin continues to serve as the anchor of market sentiment. Despite the broader selloff, BTC is consolidating above the crucial $112,000 support zone. Technical charts show RSI cooling near neutral levels, while MACD hints at minor bearish momentum. Short-term traders are eyeing $110K as support and $115K as resistance. A breakout beyond $115K could invite fresh momentum, while a fall below $110K may intensify selling pressure.
Ethereum (ETH) – Pulls Back Below $4,200
- Price: $4,199.21
- Market Cap: $506.86B
- 24h Change: -2% approx.
Ethereum underperformed Bitcoin, slipping below $4,200, partly due to reduced DeFi and NFT activity. On-chain data shows a drop in active addresses, but staking inflows on ETH 2.0 remain steady. The immediate support lies near $4,000, while the upside remains capped around $4,400. ETH dominance has slightly decreased as traders rotate into mid-cap tokens and speculative plays.
Top Trending Altcoins
1. AVNT ($2.11, Market Cap $547M)
- Surging in retail chatter, AVNT remains among the top trending tokens. While liquidity is limited, speculative traders are pushing volumes higher.
2. GIGGLE ($35.86, Market Cap N/A)
- Despite being a new entrant with unclear fundamentals, GIGGLE captured attention due to sharp intraday volatility. Risk-averse investors should exercise caution given its low transparency.
3. TRUMP Token ($7.67, Market Cap $1.53B)
- A politically themed token that has seen renewed interest. Trading volumes are high, but fundamentals remain speculative.
Other Major Altcoins
- Solana (SOL): Trading at $223, SOL is under pressure following a 2–3% daily drop. Network activity, however, remains strong in the DeFi and NFT segments.
- Ripple (XRP): At $2.85, XRP slipped further after losing momentum from recent rallies. Investors are watching $2.70 as support.
- Dogecoin (DOGE): DOGE declined to $0.241, down over 3%. Despite social media-driven interest, DOGE lacks bullish catalysts in the near term.
- AOP ($0.048): Another trending token, though speculative. Its price action reflects high retail-driven trading without solid fundamentals.
Market Sentiment & On-Chain Activity
- Bitcoin Dominance: Stable near 59%, showing BTC continues to attract safer inflows.
- Stablecoins: USDT and USDC maintained their peg, suggesting no systemic risk signs.
- On-Chain Flows: Exchange inflows of BTC increased slightly, indicating some investors are preparing to sell on rallies.
- DeFi TVL (Total Value Locked): Declined marginally, signaling reduced risk appetite in altcoins.
Technical Outlook – Short Term (BTC & ETH)
- BTC: As long as Bitcoin holds above $110,000, the mid-term trend remains intact. Traders are watching for a breakout above $115K to regain bullish strength.
- ETH: Needs to reclaim $4,400 for momentum. Below $4,000, downside risks accelerate.
Conclusion – Market Pulse 22/09/2025
The crypto market is in correction mode, with altcoins facing sharper declines than Bitcoin. While BTC remains resilient above $112K, Ethereum struggles to hold $4,200, and altcoins like SOL, DOGE, and XRP continue to see heavy volatility. The Fear & Greed Index at 47 signals indecision—neither extreme fear nor greed—pointing towards a range-bound short-term outlook.
Investors should adopt a cautious, risk-managed approach, focusing on high-liquidity assets while keeping an eye on support levels. With Bitcoin holding steady, the broader market could stabilize, but altcoin traders should expect continued turbulence in the coming days.
