The cryptocurrency market has been bleeding out for the past few days. However, the losses today were more significant than the cumulative losses over the said period. The Bitcoin price prediction 2019, XRP price prediction 2019, Litecoin price prediction 2019 and the price prediction of almost every cryptocurrency in the market now hangs on the balance. Cryptocurrency news from different parts of the market has been positive but the sell-off is becoming more intense. Binance Coin (BNB) and Litecoin (LTC) are surprisingly among the biggest losers.
Is Cryptocurrency Dead? Cryptocurrency Market Update – Cryptocurrencies Fall Against The USD
A few days ago, the Binance Coin (BNB) reached a 52-week high and set its target at $30. The price of Bitcoin moved above the $5300 level and many other cryptocurrencies rallied with it. XRP wasn’t doing so well doing this time as it continued to hover above the $0.33 level and was even recording loses against the USD. As expected, the spike in the price of cryptocurrencies was followed by a market correction which has cost the entire cryptocurrency market about $6 billion in market capitalization.
