Crypto Price Today (June 17): Bitcoin Dips To $105K; Ethereum, Xrp, Solana Decline 3%

Amid increased market uncertainty, Bitcoin has dipped to $105K today after digesting Monday’s volatility. Following the leader, leading altcoins—including Ethereum, Solana, and XRP—have also declined over 3% from the daily levels. 

The broader market sentiment is leaning towards the bearish side today as early trading hours drive a revisit to daily lows for leading cryptocurrencies. 

Bitcoin Price Dips to $105K

Bitcoin surged as high as $108,835 earlier today, with it steadily declining now, ahead of the U.S. trading session. Today’s decline is attributed to increasing geopolitical tension due to Israel-Iran conflicts as well as the broader market sell-off. 

At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading near $105,746—down with a decent decline of 0.91% in the past 24 hours. However, the 24-hour trading volume for Bitcoin has surged over 22% to $52.91 billion—as per CoinMarketCap data. 

The Ethereum (ETH) price has declined to $2,550 as it takes a sharp 3% drop from the daily high of $2,672 to as low as $2,533—as per market data. The current market trajectory has pulled back ETH, which was on a prime run, surging over 40% since the past month. 

Similarly, the XRP price is also seeing a downtrend today as the much-anticipated ruling on the Ripple-SEC lawsuit deadline on June 16 is delayed until August. Those who purchased XRP on this catalyst are now offloading their holdings amid market uncertainty. On a more losing hand, Solana (SOL) price has also declined 3.43% despite positive market sentiment set by the recent spot Solana ETF filings.
