Bitcoin Pulls Back Near $113K; Ethereum Tests Key Support — September 23, 2025, 9:25 AM IST

Tuesday's market session opens with Bitcoin retracing modestly as volume surges sharply, while Ethereum breaks below $4,300, approaching key $4,000 support levels:

• Bitcoin (BTC) decreases 1.86% to US$113,000 on a strong volume increase (+152.4%) to US$879.94M. Funding rate remains neutral at 0%, showing no leverage pressure despite price slip.
• Ethereum (ETH) declines 2.56% to US$4,200, with volume jumping by 167.6% to US$797.72M. Support near the $4,000 zone is now crucial as recent ETF inflows clash with heavier spot outflows.
• Solana (SOL) retreats 6.36% to US$217.81, but volume surges 284.5% to US$440.71M. Funding at 0.46% signals tentative speculative activity amid heightened volatility.
• Avantis (AVNT) corrects sharply, dropping 24.03% to US$1.81 with volume declining 31.36% to US$382.12M, and the funding rate climbing to 0.55%, reflecting leveraged selling pressure.
• XRP slides 1.01% to US$2.87 despite a strong volume uplift (+109.8%) to US$272.38M. The funding rate climbs to 0.7%, indicating cautious long positions amid recent volatility.
