The first cryptocurrency has fallen by 4% in 24 hours. Bitcoin's capitalization is $1.9 trillion, the trading volume for 24 hours is $156 billion. Bitcoin's market share is 55.31%, according to TradingView.
The total capitalization of the cryptocurrency market has decreased by 2.7% in 24 hours, to $3.77 trillion. The total volume of digital coin trading over the past 24 hours was $426 billion. The day before, against the backdrop of BTC growth above $100 thousand, this figure recorded a record $505 billion.
The Ethereum (ETH) rate fell to $3.63 thousand at night, but recovered and at 10:40 am is trading at about $3.9 thousand. The leading altcoin has risen in price by 1.1% in 24 hours, its market share is 12.5%.

Of the first hundred leading cryptocurrencies, the dYdX (DYDX) token has shown the greatest growth - 28.5%. The biggest drop in a day for the second day in a row was recorded by IOTA (IOTA), the coin fell by another 7.9%.
Amid sharp jumps in cryptocurrency rates, exchanges liquidated the positions of 156 thousand traders in 24 hours for a total of $872 million. Of these, Bitcoin accounted for $487 million, Ethereum - $86 million. 80% of the forcibly closed positions were long.
Experts warned about the correction that could be triggered by market overheating. At the same time, they noted that Bitcoin has recovered quite quickly from recent drawdowns, as in the case of the fall amid rising political tensions in South Korea at the beginning of the week.
Analysts previously talked about what kind of correction BTC might have this time and how the "whales" of the crypto market would behave in this situation.
