Bitcoin and Altcoins Turn Red, Erase Weekly Gains
Bitcoin price broke the key supports at USD 7,850 and USD 7,600. Ethereum price is now below USD 250 and ripple extended declines below USD 0.380. AOA, ICX, ENJ and XEM are down more than 12% today.
In the past few hours (08:10 UTC,) there was a strong increase in bearish pressure on bitcoin below the USD 7,850 support level. BTC/USD declined below the USD 7,700 and USD 7,600 levels to trade to a new weekly low. The price is currently holding the USD 7,520 support, but there is a risk of more losses before the bulls stage a fresh upward move. Similarly, there were downsides in most major altcoins, including ethereum, ripple, bitcoin cash, EOS, litecoin, binance coin and tron. ETH/USD is down more than 8% and it is now trading well below the USD 240 support. Ripple is also down around 9% and it could soon test the USD 0.350 support area.
Moreover, only 16 coins out of the top 100 by market capitalization kept their weekly gains, while the top 10 coins lost 5%-19% of their value (except BNB, which is up by almost 15% in the past week.)
