Bitcoin Sees New Low

The landscape was looking rather bright for the primary cryptocurrency until five days ago. At that point, it had skyrocketed to above $25,200, which was a two-month high.

However, it couldn’t stay there for long. It dropped by more than $1,000 shortly after the local peak. Although BTC calmed and remained at that level for a day or two, the bears returned and pushed it south by another grand.

The situation worsened yesterday when bitcoin dumped to $22,000. The past 24 hours brought even more pain for the bulls as BTC found itself dropping beneath $21,000 to chart its lowest price position in about three weeks.

As of now, it stands at just over $21,000, and its market cap has managed to remain above $400 billion.

ETH Marks a New Low Too

Most alternative coins followed BTC south yesterday, including the largest one.

ETH has continued to decline in value. Another 5.5% daily drop has taken it to below $1,650. It’s worth noting that the asset tapped a 74-day high above $2,050 last weekend, meaning that it has lost $400 within this timeframe.

Cardano is also down on the day, seeing a 3% daily drop. As a result, ADA struggles beneath $0.5.

In contrast, Binance Coin, Solana, Dogecoin, Tron, and Avalanche are slightly in the green on a daily scale. Shiba Inu has recovered the most in a day, and it’s 5% up to $0.000014.

Most of the lower- and mid-cap alts are with minor increases, while several are with insignificant losses.

The cumulative market cap of all crypto assets has seen another $20 billion evaporate and is down to just over $1 trillion.
