Source: CryptoNewsNet Original Title: Crypto prices retreat in return to downward U.S. trading day action Original Link: An early 2026 break in what had been a weeks-long pattern of declining crypto prices during U.S. trading sessions proved short-lived. Making a run for $95,000 as American stocks opened the day, bitcoin has pulled back to just above the $92,000 area just after the noon hour on the East Coast, now lower by 1.3% over the past 24 hours.

XRP, which led Monday’s crypto rally, fell more than 2% over the past two hours. Solana — which received an early boost as a major financial institution moved to offer a spot SOL ETF — fell back similarly.

The declines occurred as U.S. stocks posted modest gains — the Nasdaq higher by 0.4% and the S&P 500 by 0.3%. The faster action was happening in the metals, with gold higher by 1% and re-taking $4,500 per ounce, and silver surging 5% and back above $80 per ounce. Copper was ahead 1.1% and topped $6 per ounce for the first time ever.

BTC-0.96%

XRP-1.66%

SOL-1.42%
