Crypto Correction: Uniswap, XRP, NEAR Slide After Rally
The cryptocurrency market experienced a notable correction on September 24, 2026, with Bitcoin dropping about 3% to €72,950 ($83,160) and major altcoins like Uniswap, XRP, NEAR Protocol, and Stellar suffering losses of 8-12% in 24 hours. The pullback follows a week of strong gains driven by an SEC exemption for tokenized stocks and heavy Bitcoin ETF inflows. Analysts attribute the drop to excessive leverage from derivatives, profit-taking by ETF investors near the $86,000 average cost basis, and a rising US dollar due to anticipated Federal Reserve rate hikes. Despite the correction, most assets remain up over the week, with NEAR and Bitcoin Cash posting gains of nearly 50%. Key support is seen at $82,000, with resistance at $90,000.
