Red sky for Bitcoin – danger or joy? Meanwhile, XRP finds (well) hidden strength as THETA breaks the top ten
Crypto at a glance
Right now, a pattern seems to be emerging in Bitcoin – climb to a crescendo all week, hit or get closer to a new all-time high, then back off and go again. Will this week follow a similar routine or is the cycle broken in one way or another?
It was certainly a bloody Monday in the crypto markets, and Bitcoin saw its sharpest drop in a 24-hour period in more than a month. The leading cryptocurrency fell from over $ 60,000 on Saturday to nearly $ 53,000 overnight – its lowest level since March 16. Bitcoin’s market capitalization even briefly fell below USD 1 trillion for the first time in almost two weeks.
Things seem to have stabilized around the $ 54,000 mark for now. Will the institutions see this as another opportunity to buy the dip and fix the ship before another run of up to $ 60,000 and possibly beyond, or are we set for another week of sideways trading or even further losses?
It’s not all bad news, however. While some of the bigger caps, including Ethereum and Cardano, have gotten off the pace along with Bitcoin, XRP continues to show strength and is up 10% in the past 24 hours. Can it make up for third place that it held for so long until recently?
In a kind of Cinderella story, THETA also broke the top 10 for the first time. THETA is the cryptocurrency of the Theta blockchain – an end-to-end infrastructure for decentralized video streaming and delivery. It has grown almost 70% in the last seven days, pushing Chainlink out of the top 10. Can it go up any further? It’s in close proximity to Litecoin now, which would mark a notable turnaround and push another old favorite even further down.
