Why Is the Crypto Market Down Today?

Cointime Official

From beincrypto by Aaryamann Shrivastava

The total crypto market cap (TOTAL) and Bitcoin (BTC) are facing slight bearishness on the daily chart. However, the situation is worse for altcoins as broader market cues are weighing down on the likes of Bitget Token (BGB).

The Crypto Market Is Moving Sideways

The total crypto market cap has dropped by $50 billion in the past 24 hours, reflecting ongoing market uncertainty. Mixed signals from macroeconomic factors continue to weigh heavily on TOTAL’s price trajectory, adding to the hesitation among investors.

Currently stuck under the $3.28 trillion resistance, TOTAL remains vulnerable. Prolonged uncertainty could push the market cap toward the critical support level of $3.10 trillion, deepening the losses from recent market corrections.

If TOTAL manages to flip $3.28 trillion into support, it could reclaim upward momentum. This move could drive the market cap toward $3.49 trillion, recovering much of the losses seen in the current downtrend.

Bitcoin Is Holding Key Support Level

Bitcoin is trading at $93,753, holding above the critical support of $93,625. The cryptocurrency aims to breach the resistance of $95,668 and flip it into support, which would be crucial for initiating a short-term recovery.

However, if broader market conditions remain bearish, Bitcoin risks falling through the $93,625 support. Such a decline could push BTC toward $89,800, erasing recent gains and extending the downward pressure on the crypto king.

Conversely, reclaiming $95,668 as support could pave the way for Bitcoin to target $100,000. Achieving this milestone would invalidate the bearish outlook and restore bullish momentum.

Bitget Token Is Falling Quickly

BGB price has dropped by 12% over the past 24 hours, currently trading at $6.51. This slide takes the altcoin further away from its all-time high (ATH) of $8.49, raising concerns about its immediate recovery prospects.

The recent decline positioned BGB as the worst-performing asset of the day. With its price nearing the $4.90 support level, a further drop could erase a significant portion of the 104% rally it achieved recently. Maintaining this support is critical to avoiding further losses.

If broader market cues shift bullish, BGB could reverse its decline, potentially breaching its ATH of $8.49. Achieving this milestone would invalidate the bearish outlook and pave the way for new highs, restoring investor confidence in the altcoin’s upward trajectory.

  • Morgan Stanley: 2028 as a Key Observation Point for Global Memory Competition Landscape

    On August 29, Morgan Stanley pointed out that the rise of Chinese memory manufacturers should not be viewed merely as a technological catch-up or low-cost substitution; what is truly noteworthy is that their production capacity may gradually become large enough to alter the supply structure of the global memory market. Changxin Technology and Yangtze Memory Technologies are currently entering the mainstream product market and gradually extending into high-profit markets such as HBM, high-end server DRAM, and enterprise SSDs. Morgan Stanley considers 2028 as an important observation point for the global memory competition landscape. From 2026 to 2027, demand for AI servers, capacity crowding of advanced wafers by HBM, import substitution, and the time required for customer certification may absorb most of the new supply from Chinese memory manufacturers. By 2028, as Chinese manufacturers expand production, the additional capacity from Samsung, SK Hynix, and Micron, which had previously initiated expansions, will also be released. At that time, the supply variables in the global memory market will significantly increase. Morgan Stanley estimates that Changxin's DRAM monthly production capacity will rise from 180,000 wafers in 2025 to 300,000 in 2026, accounting for approximately 13% of global DRAM wafer capacity and about 11% of bit shipments; by 2028, it is expected to further increase to 500,000 wafers, and by 2031, it could reach 800,000 wafers. If the expansion proceeds smoothly, Changxin's global DRAM bit shipment market share could approach 15% by 2030, and it may even have the opportunity to surpass Micron in production capacity around 2028, becoming the third-largest DRAM supplier in the world.
