Bitcoin, the world’s largest cryptocurrency, fell marginally to $47,873.08 or 1.06 per cent over the past 24 hours. The virtual coin’s market capitalisation remains above $900 billion, but the 24-hour trading volume fell.

Popular altcoins including XRP, Cardano, Stellar, Chainlink, Uniswap, Polygon and Litecoin also encountered minor corrections due to weakness in trading volumes.

Commenting on the weakness, Edul Patel, CEO and Co-founder of Mudrex, a global algorithm based crypto investment platform, said, “The crypto spectrum witnessed a minor consolidation over the past 24 hours.”

“The two largest cryptocurrencies by market capitalization, Bitcoin and Ether, hovered around their local resistance levels of $48,000 and $3500, respectively. After Elon Musk’s tweet on ‘Floki’, the SHIBA INU token rose more than 41 per cent,” he added.

“Altcoins seem bullish in terms of technicals and traded volumes.”
