Cryptocurrency prices today: Bitcoin, Ether dip after heavy selloff

Cryptocurrencies witnessed a sharp dip in valuation on Wednesday after a round of profit booking. Check the latest cryptocurrency prices and trends.

Cryptocurrencies have lost momentum as prices of popular virtual coins dipped sharply on Wednesday. The entire cryptocurrency market capitalization has dropped by 4 per cent in the past 24 hours.

Bitcoin, which had crossed $50,000 for the first time since May on Monday, retreated yesterday due to profit-booking by investors, according to a Reuter’s news report quoting Edward Moya, senior market analyst at OANDA in New York.

It may be noted that Bitcoin has gained 82 per cent since hitting a yearly low of $27,700 in January. As of 11:20 am, Bitcoin was trading at $48,372.89, down 2.39 per cent. The popular cryptocurrency’s market capitalization has dipped to $912.19 billion, signaling weakness in the market.

Ether’s valuation fell to $3,212, down nearly 4 per cent. The cryptocurrency market capitalization dipped to $376 billion. All other Altcoin including XRP, Cardano, Dogecoin, Stellar, Polkadot, Uniswap, Chainlink’s and Litecoin saw a sharp fall in valuation.

Commenting on the weakness in the virtual coin market, Edul Patel, CEO and Co-founder of Mudrex, a global algorithm based crypto trading platform, said, “Bitcoin seems to be facing strong resistance at the current price. Since its drop below $50,000, the bears have been in a dominating position.”

“The nearest strong support is at $46,750. The selloff across most Altcoin was much higher. Over the past 24 hours, we witnessed the entire market cap drop by almost 4%, with traded volumes going up,” he added.

The cryptocurrency prices have been updated as of 11:35 am and will change as the day progresses. The list is intended to give a rough idea about popular cryptocurrency trends and be updated daily.
