Crypto Market Stalls: Bitcoin Holds $117K, Ethereum Sideways, Solana & XRP Pull Back — September 19, 2025, 9:25 AM IST

Friday morning brings a pause in the crypto rally, with volumes dropping sharply and price action muted across major assets:

• Bitcoin (BTC) trades flat at US$117,000 (-0.62%) on softer volume of US$734.48M (-20.26%). Funding rate remains neutral (0%), as traders await clear signals from Fed rate policy and ETF flows.
• Ethereum (ETH) slips 1.39% to US$4,600 amid a 37.8% drop in volume to US$515.85M. Funding rate keeps steady at 0.02%, as price consolidates near trendline support and $4,665 resistance.
• Solana (SOL) drops 0.73% to US$245.32 with turnover at US$327.15M (-13.8%). Funding rate at 0.41% flags ongoing speculative interest, yet momentum stalls below resistance.
• XRP dips 1.83% to US$3.051, volume down 24.53% to US$192.19M. Funding at 0.33% points to modest long bets despite price weakness and a lack of bullish headlines.
