The cryptocurrency market lost nearly $100 billion in total capitalization over the past seven days, bringing it down to $1.150B. Most coins are currently in the red, with PEPE being the hottest story of the week, albeit for different reasons this time around. Let’s take a closer look.
Bitcoin’s price crashed by about 9% over the past week and is currently hovering around $26,500. The bears were relentless, and buyers failed to catch a break. The price was rejected at $30K last week, and it’s been spiraling downward ever since.
Altcoins aren’t faring any better, with ETH, BNB, XRP, ADA, DOGE, SOL, MATIC, DOT, and others all experiencing significant losses.
However, PEPE is currently the biggest loser, having crashed 60% over the week, and over 70% since its ATH.
While it’s interesting to see whether or not PEPE will make a comeback, the odds aren’t looking good at the moment.
All in all, market sentiment has shifted over the past few weeks, and the optimism is fading. It’s unclear whether this is just a temporary correction or if another winter is on the horizon.
