In the last twenty four hours, the valuation of the crypto market increased from $137 billion to $140 billion after a minor recovery of around two percent.

Both major cryptocurrencies and little market cap tokens have ended the day with relatively minor losses within the range of one to three percent.

Is Bottom near For Bitcoin?

The volume of Bitcoin (BTC) has dropped from $5.5 billion back to $4 billion over the past many days, by over 27 %. given that the worth of BTC has not fallen substantially throughout the time wherein its volume fell, a case will be created that the sell-pressure on the dominant cryptocurrency has subsided.



A cryptocurrency trader and economist Alex Krüger explained:

“Yesterday, BTC triggered my main oversold signal on the daily. This signal printed only once before: Jan/17/2015. Very close to a bottom that held for eight months, and was broken only once ever after, briefly, throughout the Aug/18/2015 flash crash.”

Generally, after a 30 to 40 % drop, major cryptocurrencies tend to recover in the mid-term, as seen in the case of Ripple (XRP). A similar trend might be portrayed by BTC in the forthcoming weeks if the asset may begin demonstrating stability at its low price range.

Even if BTC falls below the $4,000 mark prior to engaging in a corrective rally, which is a chance given that the $4,000 support level was tested twice in the past 5 days, stability within the range of $3,800 to $4,200 may permit BTC to ascertain roots within the $4,000 region and signal a bottom.

“Some nice buyback wicks showing up, however don’t assume we’re out of the woods until a daily shut on top of green,” noted Hsaka, a cryptocurrency technical analyst.

Bitcoin remains solely down 78 percent from its all-time high, which is comparatively low when compared to the average drop in the price of BTC from its all-time high in previous major corrections. In 2011, 2013, and 2015, BTC recorded an average drop of over 85 % in each major correction it experienced.

So far, VeChain, Binance Coin, and Bitcoin stay as the best performing cryptocurrencies throughout the bear market, with Binance Coin down 78 % from its all-time high.

Tokens are in trouble

On Friday, tokens appeared to be experiencing a unexpected short-term recovery as Augur and Maker demonstrated gains in the range of 5 to 13 percent.

In the past 12 hours, Augur dropped by 10 % and Maker recorded a decline of 7 %, deleting their weekly gains.

From their all-time highs, most tokens, even those that have performed well against BTC and the us dollar in early 2017, are averaging a drop of around 98 %.

With increasing pressure from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and dozens of pending cases against initial coin offering (ICO) projects being evaluated by local authorities, the worth of tokens is expected to drop substantially in the weeks to return.
