Over the last seven days Bitcoin has lost 10.64%, Ethereum is down 11.62% and Ripple has shed off 10.28%. The worst-hit coin among the top ten is Bitcoin SV (BSV), trading at 18.13% lower in the last seven days.
Bitcoin dominance on the market is still high at 64% according to the data on CoinMarketCap. The total market capitalization has thinned by $2 billion from $226 billion on Tuesday to $224 at the time of writing. The reported trading volume has tanked by from $150 billion to the current $136 billion.
BTC/USD is trading at $7,842 after correcting from an intraday high of $7,966. The price is also down 0.57% from its opening value of $7,889. Bitcoin is trading in a bullish trend but the volatility remains low.
ETH/USD is doddering at $198.56 following an adjustment from $200.67 (opening value). An intraday high has been formed at $203.18. Ethereum is facing increased selling activity owing to the strong bearish trend. However, with the prevailing bearish pressure, minor movements downward are anticipated.
