Bitcoin (BTC) to hit $40,600 in historic price crash

A critical Bitcoin warning has recently been issued by on-chain analyst Ali Martinez. In his X post from Sept. 4, Martinez shared a two-month chart for the largest crypto, stating that the TD Sequential indicator shows a sell signal "anticipating a correction." According to the analyst, should Bitcoin lose the crucial $51,000 support level, it could plunge to the low of $40,600. Although the market has experienced several price corrections in recent months, a decline below $51,000 could significantly impact BTC and potentially have repercussions for the broader market. At the moment of writing, Bitcoin is trading at $54,630, down 3.54% over the past 24 hours, per CoinMarketCap.

XRP might start forming "death cross" signal

XRP seems to be heading toward forming a death cross, a bearish signal that occurs when the 50-day moving average crosses below the 200-day moving average. This pattern usually points to a significant trend reversal, potentially leading to increased selling pressure. Currently, XRP is trading at about $0.52, having a tough time holding those levels; if it cannot gain some bullish momentum, it might see the drop to $0.50 or even lower. Given current market conditions and ongoing regulatory concerns, traders are becoming more cautious, which could lead to more sell-offs. Overall, the technical signs suggest that a steep decline could be on the horizon, especially if XRP breaks through key support levels.
