|- Cryptocurrencies have corrected lower after a sharp rally.

Cryptocurrencies have finally corrected some of their massive gains – a natural phenomenos in all financial markets. The rally has been partially inspired by Facebook's entry into the blockchain world with its Libra project. Interest in Bitcoin and also other digital coins has soared and prices followed upwards as well.
