Bitcoin, Ethereum Slide On Sharp Retail Selloffs

October 22, 2025.

As euphoria from the recent rally fizzled out, most of the tokens were in the red, and the orange coin fluctuation is dragging crypto market cap lower while Bitcoin, Ethereum and other top cryptocurrencies traded on the negative on Wednesday.

Investor positions have become underwhelming when compared to the number of exits as crypto market has continued to experience sharp price fluctuations.

In the last 24 hours, the altcoin has suffered a1.64% loss due to sell pressures on Ethereum, with market capitaliaztion settling at $462.199 billion.

Trading at $107,710, BTCUSD has lost about 0.9% on the day, as investors booked profit on the world’s largest crypto asset. With $103, 512 billion trading volume, Bitcoin market cap has decreased to $2.148 trillion.

While the market is dwindling by approximately 1% in 24 hours, Solana and XRP are making an uptrend which appears too restricted for traders.

The market cap of all cryptocurrencies has fallen by 0.87% to $3.64 trillion amidst growing trade volume initiated from sell side. XRPUSD has gained 0.36% while Solana is up by 0.55% to $186.

Bitcoin had climbed 3% Monday, reclaiming the $111,000 mark after last week’s 6% slump.

Ethereum continues to hover below $4,000 as spot Ethereum ETFs finally flipped positive after three straight days of outflows.

For now, the Bitcoin chart seems to be clear. In a wide range formed after Oct. 10, $107,800 BTC is the line that needs to hold or sellers will gain the upper hand, while $108,200 BTC is the resistance that bulls have been unable to reclaim.

Despite news that Russia is taking a major step toward embracing digital currencies, trades were red.

In a landmark move that could transform how Russia conducts international business, the country’s Ministry of Finance and the Central Bank have agreed to legalise the use of cryptocurrencies for payments in foreign trade.
