Bitcoin and altcoins retreat to local lows
If one had studied the weekend just two days ago, they could have little guessed what has happened in the cryptocurrency market in the last 24 hours. Trading volume was minimal, but BTC climbed above its 11-day high of $48,000. However, as fears of the Evergrande saga mount on Monday, the cryptocurrency has plummeted. It lost several thousand dollars in a few hours and fell to $ 42,500. It initially managed to bounce and even reclaim $44,000, but it was short-lived. The bears took back control and this time the asset dropped as low as $40,200 on Bitstamp.
This was the lowest price point seen since the beginning of August. As of now, Bitcoin has recovered somewhat and is hovering above $43,000. According to Bybt, this increased volatility has led to more than $1.2 billion in liquidations in the past 24 hours. Altcoins followed their leaders to the downside with stronger price drops. Ethereum was among the leaders in this downtrend as it dropped from $3,400 to $2,800, its lowest level since August 6.
