It has been an absolute bloodbath for the crypto industry in the last few days. All major coins including Bitcoin and Ethereum witnessed massive sell-off and loss of market value. This incident could be tied to the US stock market’s bearishness as well as the overwhelming number of regulatory measures taken by various nations.
This has especially caused the fear index to emit the ‘extreme fear’ reading as traders are apprehensive of the money they already lost. Bitcoin in the last week lost 17.2%. Ethereum was reeling under a loss of 30% in one week. In the last 24 hours, however, Bitcoin witnessed some respite. Ethereum also attempted to recover slightly on its chart.
