Cryptocurrency Price Today: Bitcoin Fails To Rise Above $20,000

Bitcoin (BTC), the world’s oldest and most valued cryptocurrency, is finding it hard to land in the greens over the past few days.

On the other hand, the Quant (QNT) token turned out to be the biggest gainer over the past 24 hours, along with other lesser known altcoins such as Serum (SRM) and STEPN (GMT).

Edul Patel, the CEO and Co-Founder of crypto exchange Mudrex, told ABP Live, “Bitcoin traded below the $20,000 level on Tuesday with rising inflation. The euro fell to its lowest level against the US dollar yesterday in the past 20 years, and the dollar strength seemed to be impacting the prices in the crypto market. If the bearish trend continues, we might see BTC testing the$19,000 mark by the end of this week. While on the other hand, Ethereum broke the $1,100 level, which means bears are more potent than bulls. If this trend continues, we might see ETH falling to the $1,000 level soon.”

Commenting on the crypto market scenario on Tuesday, Sathvik Vishwanath, CEO and Co-Founder of crypto exchange Unocoin told ABP Live, “The crypto market has continued its downward spiral on Tuesday as well. Most of the coins have seen an average fall of around 2 to 4 percent and native blockchain coins have fallen more than 8 percent. The winter in the crypto market is getting cold and generally the market is worried about entering a long-term bear. Tuesday marked the fourth consecutive day where the crypto market is losing 3 to 4 percent of the market cap every day. The gain that was achieved mid to late last week is getting nullified in this streak.”
