Altcoins Enter The Red Sea As Bitcoin Drops

With little-to-no substantial price movements for most of this week, today is a different day for altcoins. The market has been tumultuous, and prices are swinging back and forth throughout the day. As a result, most altcoins are recorded in red with the day started. 

The price of Ethereum has continued to drop, now below $3k for the third time this month. The cryptocurrency is leading an adverse trend, with other coins following suit and falling by almost 5%.

The Binance coin struggled to maintain its position at around $400 after a 3.5% decrease in the last 24 hours. However, things are starting to look up for this cryptocurrency as of late Sunday evening, when prices were close to $420 per coin.

Today, the big movers are Cardano with a 7% decrease and Ripple 6% decrease. Some other notable tokens are Shiba Inu, whose value dropped 6%, Polkadot, with a 7% decline over the last 24 hours, and Dogecoin declined 6%.

The cryptocurrency market has been rough today, with many coins losing 10% or more. The biggest losers include KNC (-11%), Filecoin (-11%), ZILIQA (-10%). Others, including EOS and STEPN, both lost 10% of their value today. 

Eventually, The crypto market cap is down $80 billion and now sits at $1.8 trillion.
