In general, when Bitcoin, the largest digital asset in the market moves, the whole crypto market follows the trend. If Bitcoin falls under $3,500 the market could keep falling and making Bitcoin drop even further. There are other analysts that believe that Bitcoin will reach new lows in the near future. Some of them say that it might be possible to fall under $3,000.

Ethereum (ETH), the third largest digital asset in the market by market capitalization has been experiencing higher volatility due to the fact that the Constantinople upgrade was canceled a few days ago. It might be possible for the digital asset to keep growing if the Constantinople hard fork goes as a planned after being delayed two times in the last months.

At the moment of writing this article, Bitcoin is being traded around $3,668 and it has a market capitalization of $64 billion. In the last 24 hours, it registered an increase of 0.9%. The top 10 market has just one digital asset experiencing moves larger than 2% up or down. TRON (TRX) has increased by 2.65% in the last 24 hours.

Bitcoin could soon start to move up or down and investors must be prepared for it.
