Due to the drop in bitcoin prices, the crypto market lost 100 billion dollars

Bitcoin attempted to surpass 60 thousand dollars yesterday but was halted and fell to its lowest monthly value below 56 thousand dollars. Altcoins followed the lead of the largest cryptocurrency with significant declines, while ethereum fell below 2400 dollars, and bnb below 510.

The decline of bitcoin continues

It can be said with certainty that bitcoin has seen better days. In fact, last Monday it attempted to break 65 thousand dollars, but its inability to do so resulted in a continuous price drop. Initially, bitcoin fell to 58 thousand dollars on Wednesday, but somewhat recovered by the end of the week and even challenged 61 thousand dollars on Thursday.

However, it failed again and fell below 60 thousand dollars over the weekend. Monday started with a slight recovery towards 57 thousand dollars, but bulls managed to intervene and reversed the asset’s trajectory.

In fact, bitcoin jumped to 59,600 dollars on Tuesday morning, but that was its peak for the week. It lost a thousand dollars almost immediately, but the situation worsened earlier today when it fell to its lowest monthly value of 55,600 dollars (on Bitstamp), leaving millions in liquidation.

Since then, it has recovered by a thousand dollars, but it is still down 4 percent in the last 24 hours. Its market capitalization has fallen to 1.120 trillion dollars, and its dominance over altcoins is below 54 percent on CoinGecko.

Toncoin the biggest loser

As is usually the case in such situations, altcoins have also ‘turned red’. Ethereum fell below 2400 dollars after a daily drop of 5 percent, bnb below 510 dollars after a similar drop, while xrp, solana, dogecoin, cardano, avalanche, and shiba inu recorded slightly smaller pullbacks.

However, toncoin has fallen the most among larger cryptocurrencies, dropping by more than 11 percent and is now trading around 4.65 dollars.

Lower-cap altcoins are also in a knockdown state. As such, the total capitalization of the crypto market has fallen by about 100 billion dollars since yesterday’s peak and is now below 2.1 trillion dollars.
