Bitcoin dominance growing, crypto market on the verge of another collapse
|- Bitcoin is unchanged on a daily basis, with no recovery in sight.
- Altcoins stay under pressure amid strongly bearish sentiments.
The cryptocurrency market stays under pressure amid never-ending bearish sentiments. A recovery attempt registered on Tuesday proved to be short-lived and unconvincing. The total value of all digital assets in circulation decreased to $125B from $350B one year ago — inability to recover above the short-term resistance levels signals that the market may experience another wave of selling within the next sessions.
Bitcoin stays under $3,900 handle after a short-lived spike above $4,000 on Tuesday. The price of the largest digital coin has barely changed since this time on Tuesday and lost over 1% since the beginning of the day. Bitcoin dominance jumped to 54% as traders are selling altcoins and seek shelter in BTC.
Ethereum stays at $107.9, unchanged on a day-to-day basis and 2% lower since the beginning of Wednesday. The third largest coin with a market value of $11.2B sits under $110.00, dragged down by overall bearish sentiments and lack of positive momentum.
Ripple's XRP stays marginally below $0.3500 handle, unchanged in recent 24 hours. The coin dropped as low as $0.3428 during early Asian hours, moving within a short-term bearish trend. XRP needs to regain $0.3500 to mitigate immediate selling pressure; however, the longer-term trend will stay bearish as long as the price remains under $0.40.
