MONETUM INTELLIGENCE | MIDDAY UPDATE
*Thursday 24 September 2026 13:17 UTC*
Risk assets sold off cleanly through the London morning as spiking Treasury yields and an oil surge above $104 combined to pressure crypto across the board. BTC printed an intraday high of $85,941 before reversing sharply, currently trading at $83,788 — a 2.5% drawdown that confirms sellers control the near-term structure. ETH exhibited the most decisive technical deterioration, flipping regime classification and failing to hold above $2,723, now pinned at $2,657. XRP led losses on a percentage basis, trading 6.1% off its session high at $1.4877, signalling the weakest relative positioning across the major liquid alts.
