The crypto market on Wednesday witnessed the fall of the world’s biggest crypto asset, Bitcoin (BTC), from the $17k price level, a situation that was highly anticipated due to the bearish trend prevailing in the crypto space.
Interestingly, Bitcoin dropped over 0.91% in the last 24 hours and as of 5.11 am ET, the price of the leading cryptocurrency is $16,831, not much lower from the $17,000 price level, above which lies a potential resistance zone for the digital asset.
On the other hand, the fear and greed index display a value of 29 and reads “Fear” which means that the investors’ sentiment is bearish and there is a huge chance that Bitcoin might drop further in the near future and take other altcoins with it.
Interestingly, the market capitalization of the entire crypto space decreased 1.40% in the last 24 hours and its value stands at $840 billion. This is much lesser from the all-time high, which stands above $3 trillion, witnessed in the month of November last year when Bitcoin hit its all-time high.
