Crypto market overview: Bitcoin moving fast towards multi-month lows
|- Bitcoin is down 3.4% after a sharp sell-off on Monday.
- Altcoins are dragged down by Bitcoin underperformance.
Bitcoin and other major digital assets resumed the downside trend on Monday with a little respite during Asian hours on Tuesday. The total market value of all coins in circulation dropped to $126B from $130B the day before. The green shoots of recovery have died away amid resumed bearish sentiments.

Ethereum stays at $107.7, over 4% lower on a day-to-day basis and unchanged since the beginning of Tuesday. The third largest coin with a market value of $11.2B is uncomfortably close to a critical $100.00. The coin is dragged down by Bitcoin underperformance and overall bearish sentiments that gripped the market.
Ripple's XRP is hovering around $0.3500 handle, down 3.5% in recent 24 hours. The coin dropped as low as $0.3465 during early Asian hours but managed to recover since that time amid short-term bullish trend. However, the upside momentum is too weak to take the price well above the current $0.3500.
