Bitcoin Plunges Below 200-Day Average, XRP Eyes Death Cross

Bitcoin has dropped below the critical 200-day simple moving average of $109,380, indicating potential weakness ahead as the dollar index reaches its highest since August 1. This decline in Bitcoin's price occurred despite positive advancements in U.S.-China trade relations, where an agreement was made to reduce tariffs and boost trade, but did not lead to a rally in cryptocurrencies. The dollar index climbed due to Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell's remarks on interest rates and the Bank of Japan's dovish stance. Chart-focused traders might initiate more selling, pushing Bitcoin towards $100,000. Additionally, other cryptocurrencies such as XRP are on the verge of a 'death cross' with their moving averages, while Solana has weakened despite developments in its market.
