Bitcoin fell below $40,000-mark and was trading in the red amid continued inflationary fears. The world’s most popular and largest cryptocurrency’s momentum signals remained negative, which indicates consistent selling pressure.
The second largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, Ethereum remained flat at $2,722.96.
Prices of all other major cryptos also dipped. XRP was down by 0.09 per cent, Avalanche fell by 2.24 per cent, Stellar fell by 0.01 per cent, and Polygon fell by 0.09 per cent.
Solana was up by 7.78 per cent, Terra was up by 3.90 per cent, Cardano was up by 0.50 per cent, Polkadot 0.96 per cent, and Dodgecoin was up 1.17 per cent.
“Bitcoin and Ethereum sank below US$39,000 and US$3,000 over the past 24 hours. All major altcoins are also running in red over the weekend. BTC remains in negative with an increase in the selling pressure for past few weeks,” Edul Patel, CEO and Co-founder, Mudrex said.
“BTC’s lower support price ranges between US$30,000 to US$35,000. If the BTC goes below these support levels, it may go back to the trend in 2018. The situation is due to the ongoing tensions between Russia and Ukraine,” Patel said.
