Crypto Market Losses $16 Billion, Tron, EOS, Litecoin, Bitcoin Cash Decline Over 10%

After seeing greens last week and half of this week, Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies are making a correction as top cryptocurrencies decline between 7 to 14 percent.

The leading cryptocurrency is down more than 4 percent but still managed to stay above $5k. At the time of writing, Bitcoin has been trading at $5,047, as per Coinmarketcap with a market cap of $89 billion that dropped from $92 billion.

BTC is currently managing the daily trading volume of $1 billion as per Messari’s Real 10 24-hr volume which has surged about $200 million since yesterday, while $17 billion is registered on CMC.

However, this pullback didn’t come as a surprise as we already reported that analysts and traders are expecting a pullback after seeing significant gains last week. The surge of more than 25 percent in Bitcoin is bound to have some correction before it starts its upwards journey.

When it comes to lows, a downward move till $4,100 could be seen in this pullback but going below $4k or hitting a new low to $3,200 is not projected to be in the cards for the flagship cryptocurrency.
