The crypto market resumed this week with prices crashing rapidly. After failing to sustain the brief rally experienced on August 9, the global crypto market value has now plummeted by 4% today. This has caused notable unrest among investors who worry that the market has resumed a bearish trend. This development has led the flagship cryptocurrency Bitcoin to once again, fall below the $60k mark.
Since falling below $3,000, Ethereum has failed to regain that mark, now consolidating around the $2,400 – $2,500 zone. Moreover, the market sentiment has dropped to ‘extreme fear’ as per the crypto fear and greed index data, reflecting that investors lack confidence at this time. Also, the total market cap now rests at $2.06 trillion. Let us look at an overview of the market and see how coins have reacted in the last 24 hours.
