Bitcoin Holds $63,000 as Coinbase Falls to $150.73

Bitcoin is struggling to hold the $63,000 area on Monday afternoon as a fresh leg lower in crypto prices hits Ethereum and Coinbase alongside a broader risk-off move in digital assets.
The selloff matters because crypto has become more tightly linked to trading activity, ETF flows and exchange revenue, leaving weaker prices to pressure the entire sector at once. Bitcoin last traded at $63,679.99, up only slightly on the day but still pinned near its 50-day moving average of $63,310.60, while Ethereum slipped to $1,862.44.
Coinbase shares dropped to $150.73 after a volatile stretch that has already erased much of the stock’s earlier momentum. For investors, that matters because Coinbase remains the clearest public-market proxy for retail and institutional crypto participation, and any slowdown in volumes or price action quickly feeds through to expectations for trading revenue and margins.
Technical indicators point to a market that is stabilizing, but not yet recovering. Bitcoin’s RSI reading of 42.6 suggests neither oversold panic nor convincing strength, while its MACD remains below the signal line, a conventional technical sign that momentum is still weak. Ethereum is in a similar position, with RSI at 45.3, and both coins remain below key longer-term trend levels.
Adalytica’s Bitcoin Fear & Greed Index shows sentiment at 20, or fear, even as awareness sits at 88, labeled extreme greed, a combination that underscores how crowded the crypto trade remains even after the pullback. That split helps explain why volatility can stay elevated: traders are still focused on the asset class, but conviction is fragile.
The broader narrative is that crypto is being forced to trade less like a standalone speculation and more like a macro-sensitive risk asset. A stronger U.S. dollar, regulatory uncertainty and disappointment around trading volumes are all weighing on the group, while the market waits for a catalyst that can reset momentum.
That leaves Monday’s session looking less like a capitulation than a pause inside a larger correction. Until Bitcoin can reclaim its short-term moving average and Coinbase can show more durable volume support, crypto investors are likely to keep treating rallies as opportunities to reduce exposure.
