After nearing the $65K mark as the U.S. employment data came in higher than expected, the coin has regained a bearish movement, sparking speculations. It’s worth noting that the bankrupt firm Genesis moved a whopping $1.5 billion in BTC and ETH amid creditor repayment plans, aligning with the current price movement.
Bitcoin’s dominance saw a 0.23% increase over the past day to 55.48%, hinting at the altcoin market’s comparatively poor performance.

As mentioned above, Genesis’ creditor repayment-related transfer falls in line with the coin’s volatile movement. Meanwhile, ETH ETFs recorded over $54 million in outflows as of August 2, further validating the coin’s slumping action.

The SOL price witnessed a 6.76% dip in value and was trading at $153.22 at press time. Solana’s 24-hour lows and highs were recorded as $149.07 and $167.41, respectively.
Despite the recent steep fall of the Solana coin, on-chain metrics have offered bullish support for a potential $200 target retest.
