Bitcoin Plunges To A Yearly Low, Market Is ‘Prepared’ To Go Below $100 Billion

In the latest cryptocurrency news, we have the price of Bitcoin plunging to a new yearly low and staying at the $3,200 threshold, all while the valuation of the crypto market has dropped from $117 billion to $101 billion, by more than $16 billion in only one week.

Currently, the total market cap is at $101 billion and is risking a new bottom which could see it dropping below the $100 billion threshold. Major cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, Ethereum and Ripple all performed poorly against the US dollar and experienced losses above the 10% mark.

The Ethereum price was seen as the biggest suffered, dropping by more than 13% from $98 to the current price of $83.56. The Bitcoin price also performed poorly in comparison to other major crypto assets and small market cap tokens in the past seven days.

However, the lack of volume in most of the markets has put the most dominant cryptocurrency at risk of dipping below the support levels which are below the $3,000 mark. The well-known crypto analyst DonAlt summed up the situation by stating the following:

“As BTC is approaching the target of the 2014 fractal the targets of most people change from 3k to 1k and even lower. I still think $2,700 is an excellent place to buy if we should go there. ‘History doesn’t repeat itself but it often rhymes.’”

Currently, there is a big risk in shorting and longing Bitcoin and other major cryptocurrencies in the market, which is why investors are observing the short-term trend of the crypto market by holding out on their trading activity.
