All of the top three coins are also in the red with Bitcoin trading 1.12% lower, Ethereum at -0.47% and Ripple at -0.44%.

Bitcoin market update
Bitcoin retreated from the 2020 high at $8,464. The surge from the support at $7,800 was mainly fueled by the tension between Iran and the United States. However, the press conference held by Donald Trump yesterday assured the Americans and the world in general that everything is in control and Iran seems to be backing down.
Bitcoin is currently trading at $7,954 after adjusting from the opening price of $8,045. The 4-hour chart shows a downward momentum building. In tandem with that is the RSI, which is likely to breach the level at 50. Support is expected at $7,800, the 50 SMA at $7,500 and the key level at $7,000.
