Crypto Market Slump: Analyzing the Dip in Solana, Dogecoin, and XRP Prices

Crypto Market Navigates Volatility Amidst Macroeconomic Uncertainty

The crypto market has experienced a recent pullback, with major digital assets like Solana, XRP, and Dogecoin underperforming Bitcoin. This downturn reflects growing investor caution driven by trade tensions and broader economic instability.

"Sentiment in crypto is risk-off," explained Strahinja Savic, head of data analytics at FRMT Financial. "Macro instability spills over into crypto, leading to sharp sell-offs and a reset of risk appetite."

Market volatility has intensified following developments around trade tariffs, with the overall crypto market declining nearly 5% in 24 hours according to CoinGecko. Alternative cryptocurrencies have been particularly affected:

• Solana (6th largest crypto) fell over 10% weekly to $156
• Dogecoin dropped 14% while XRP declined 5%
• Bitcoin dipped 4.3% to ~$105,000
• Ethereum remained stable weekly but maintains 40% monthly gains

Savic noted additional indicators of reduced risk appetite, including sluggish DeFi lending rates and low perpetual futures volumes for Bitcoin and Ethereum.

Despite current challenges, Savic remains optimistic: "There's still strong crypto support overall, with the U.S. government embracing crypto across the board." As the market evolves, participants continue monitoring macroeconomic impacts on sector performance.
