Crypto Market Loses $60 Billion As Bitcoin Dips Below $20,000

As of June 28, the bitcoin price fluctuated slightly above the $20K mark. However, toward the end of the day, it eventually dropped to $20K. The market watch also noted the bearish state in the price of most altcoins. These include DOGE, AVAX, SOL, and many others. Drawing from June 29 data, Bitcoin’s price has finally plunged below the $20K mark. Many renowned cryptos like the Ethereum, Shiba Inu, and Doge tokens also feel the heat of the bearish turn in the market. Bitcoin Lost The $20,000 Price Mark According to the news last week, Bitcoin made several attempts to come off the loss in value. During that time, its price shot from $17,500 to $21,000. This was a recovery from its 18-month low price mark. It sustained this $21K price mark until it hit its 10-day high price, a little over $21,800.

It attempted to hit this price, but all attempts proved unsuccessful. BTC’s unsuccessful attempts to appreciate eventually turned into a bearish trend toward $20K. According to the news on June 28, it managed to get slightly above the $20K benchmark. From today’s market watch, the price of Bitcoin has plunged below $20,000. At the time of writing, it is still fluctuating below this price, bringing its market cap below $400B. The Effect On Other Digital Tokens The bearish movement of Bitcoin’s price affects the rest of the digital tokens. This explains the several red bars in the crypto market chart. During the last weekend, Ethereum attempted to go higher amid the bearish state of the market. At the time, ETH was trading at $1,200. However, this did not last too long as Ethereum’s price currently sells at $1,116, about a 6.5% daily decline in price. According to the altcoins price data from CoinMarketCap, BNB now trades at $219. This is about a 7.5% 24 hours plunge in its price. There are other altcoins down trend records like SOL, DOGE, SHIB, and XRP, to mention a few.

So, judging from the current state of all crypto assets from 2 days back, the total dump in the overall market cap sums up to $60B. Adding this figure to the total drop in the market cap since the beginning of the bearish trend equates to $900 Billion. Featured image from Pexels, chart from TradingView.com

Bitcoin Sees Worst Quarter In 11 Years

The leading cryptocurrency in the world, Bitcoin (BTC), saw its worst quarter-over-quarter drop in 11 years. According to data from CoinGecko, BTC has lost over 57.43% in the second quarter of 2022. Additionally, by selling below $19,000 on the final day of Q2, Bitcoin had its most significant quarterly loss in more than a decade. The current state of the Bitcoin market is not good. The position was favorable even at the end of Q1 when it was approaching close to $50,000. But after that, things became more complex, and the price kept dropping.

It recorded its worst-performing quarter as a result of its persistently negative price moves, which have seen it drop below $20,000 several times in June. According to CoinGecko data, BTC dropped by 38% over the month of June and is currently trading at $19,447.62. Since its launch in January 2009, the price of bitcoin has been on an up-and-down Ferris wheel. Like Q2 2021, the second quarter of 2022 will be referred to as the “Bloodiest Quarter In Crypto. Quarter 2 of last year lost more than 40% of its value.  Concerns About Risks Due To Market’s Downturn Situation After the news that the Federal Reserve is preparing to reduce liquidity in the financial markets, Bitcoin fell precipitously and the downturn continued. Investors avoided riskier assets because of rising inflation and interest rates. As a result, the market lost huge profits.  Throughout the quarter, several significant problems have surfaced. For example, Celsius; recently, the firm decided to halt all account withdrawals, raising concerns that the business would soon go bankrupt. Cryptocurrency exchange CoinFlex also stopped customer withdrawals on June 23, due to the harsh market conditions. CEO of CoinFlex, Mark Lamb stated: Due to extreme market conditions last week & continued uncertainty involving a counterparty, today we are announcing that we are pausing all withdrawals. Moreover, on the other hand, regulators have become ever more concerned about cryptocurrencies’ hazards. Everyone is terrified due to the recent failure of TerraUSD (UST) and the issues experienced by crypto lenders, including Celsius. In order to address the possible threat that crypto-assets can bring to the financial system, the European Systemic Risk Board (ESRB) urged urgent regulation to solve the situation.  Related Reading | Avalanche Might Continue Its Downtrend As Price Slips To $16  In a report on June 30, the EU stated: While potential systemic implications stemming from these market segments currently seem limited, systemic risks could materialise quickly and suddenly.

Including France, Germany, Japan, Mexico, and many others.   Featured image from Flickr, chart from Tradingview.com
