The cryptocurrency market is currently in a downturn, with Bitcoin nearing the US$60 mark and a general decline in altcoins. The situation is characterized by lower than usual trading volume.
Bitcoin, the leading cryptocurrency in the market, is currently trading at $60,900 with no gains in the last 24 hours, bringing its total losses to about 5% for the week.
In addition to Bitcoin, large-cap altcoins are also experiencing modest declines. Ethereum (ETH) dropped to a low of around $3,360 throughout the day, while Binance Coin (BNB) and Solana (SOL) saw decreases of nearly 2% each. TON, on the other hand, saw a 1% increase, reaching US$7.61.
Lido DAO (LDO) saw one of the steepest declines, with a 15% decrease in its price. Meme coins like Dogecoin (DOGE) and Shiba Inu (SHIB) also faced losses, dropping 1.3% each. PepeCoin (PEPE) is hovering around $0.00001164 and experienced a 6% drop in the last 24 hours.
On a positive note, the Quant token (QNT) surprised with an 8% increase in the day, followed by dogwifhat (WIF), which grew by 7%.
This bearish scenario is primarily attributed to the market’s liquidation, which reached a value of US$100 million in the last 24 hours, with Bitcoin contributing US$37 million of this amount.
In summary, the bitcoin price is making an attempt at a recovery wave above the $64,000 level. If BTC can maintain a level above $62,500, it could potentially rise and recover to around $70,000.
