The crypto market experienced a slight pullback today, on May 6, 2025, with the ETH price dropping nearly 2% and losing the $1,800 range as Bitcoin (BTC) dipped into $94K, a key support level. Following these moves from leaders, various altcoins displayed both bullish breakouts and notable losses.
While the weekly opening on Monday brought uncertainty in the market, institutional interest and macroeconomic factors will continue to shape the sentiment as investors await the U.S. Federal Reserve’s upcoming rate decision.
Bitcoin (BTC) is currently trading at $93,869, down 0.17% over the past 24 hours. Despite the dip, Bitcoin’s dominance remains strong at 64.85%, the highest since February 2021, signaling sustained investor confidence in the flagship crypto.

With BlackRock’s Bitcoin ETF recording inflows of $531 million on May 5, the renewed institutional interest is fueling speculation for a potential recovery toward $100,000 in the coming days.
Meanwhile, Ethereum has once again fallen into a blunder, with it losing the $1,800 range and falling to $1,772—down 1.96% today. As the second-largest cryptocurrency continues to consolidate near $1,800, several analysts are suggesting that a breakout above $1,850 could push ETH toward surging past $2,000; however, Coinbase’s temporary pause on ETH transfers, effective May 7, has sparked caution among traders.
BNB stands out as a neutral performer, trading near $595, while XRP declines 2.74% to $2.09, as per CoinMarketCap data .
Among top gainers, FORM is leading with a 6% gain, followed by XMR’s 4% surge in the past 24 hours. On the losing side, VIRTUAL and RAY have fallen 14% today.
