Crypto Market Wrap: Another $5 Billion Dumped as New 2019 Lows Are Hit !


 
 
Crypto markets dumped for the third time in three days, Ethereum, BCH and BSV hurting, Tron recovering.
Following a weekend of very minimal activity on crypto markets a third wave has dumped another $5 billion from them late on Sunday. This latest purge, the third in as many days resulted in total market capitalization dropping below $117 billion before recovering a little today.
Bitcoin has fallen through key support at $3,600 and hit an intraday, and yearly low of $3,545 a few hours ago. BTC is currently trading at the bottom of its range, down 2% on the day at $3,590. Analysts are predicting further losses over the coming months and the 2019 rally is now officially over.
As usual Ethereum has been hit harder with a 5% dump back to $116 before it made an attempt at recovery to $119. Since its high of $160 ETH has dumped over 25% and even Constantinople cant rescue it at the moment. The gap between XRP in second is now almost a billion dollars again as the Ripple token recovered much quicker and is only posting a 2% loss on the day.
Altcoins all slid back further wiping out all recent gains and posting new 2019 lows. Bitcoin Cash, Litecoin and Bitcoin SV are shedding the most during the Asian trading session with 6 – 8 percent losses. Tron has actually recovered fully from this third slide and is currently up 8% on the day.
Further down the chart the top twenty is in more pain with every crypto in the red at the time of writing. Iota and Ethereum Classic have both lost over 5% on the day, the rest have dumped 2 – 4 percent.
There is very little fomo going on right now but Tron is the top performing altcoin in the top one hundred. Revain and Chainlink are also clawing back 6% on the day but generally only stablecoins are showing green right now. Hypercash and REPO, yesterday’s two fomo recipients, are dumping those gains today with 16 and 13 percent losses respectively.

Total market capitalization plunged over 4% in a third dump a few hours ago but has since recovered to $119 billion. It has just hit the lowest level of 2019 and is less than $20 billion away from 2018’s low. Chances of recovering now are very slim and the most likely direction for crypto markets to go next is down.

Bahrain Could Squeeze India to Re-Open its Crypto Market and Legalize Bitcoin !

Image
As per the request of the Reserve Bank of India, the country’s central banking institution, local banks have been disallowed from dealing with crypto businesses such as Bitcoin exchanges since 2018. With no immediate plans of the Supreme Court of India to reverse the decision of the country’s central bank, crypto companies have been pushed out of the local market. Consequently, Bitcoin investors have lost access to fiat-enabled exchanges and have resorted to peer-to-peer exchanges to convert cryptocurrencies, which could be impractical and unsafe, especially for face-to-face deals. However, a recent decision of the government of Bahrain to encourage cryptocurrency firms in India to come into the country and operate their businesses with proper resources could pressure India to potentially legalize and open its cryptocurrency market in the future. Bahrain is Putting the Pressure on India in Crypto On March 3, The Economic Times reported that Bahrain has invited ...

‘All the Banks Are Broke’ Speech Goes Viral on Crypto Twitter

Image
       A   passionate two-minute speech delivered by Godfrey Bloom, a member of the European Parliament from 2004 to 2014, is  spreading   through Crypto Twitter like wildfire. The 2013 speech is a shakedown on the global financial system. During the presentation, Bloom declares that all the banks are broke. At that time, on May 21, 2013, Bitcoin was trading at $122 and remained a fringe asset among techies and cypherpunks. It would take the remainder of the decade to transform BTC, now trading above $10,000, into the best-performing asset of the last 10 years, attracting legacy giants like Fidelity and Intercontinental Exchange that are putting their full weight behind blockchain-based infrastructure. During that same period, numerous banks, including Deutsche Bank and Danske bank, have been embroiled in multi-billion-dollar money laundering scandals and consumer fraud. Wells Fargo, after the collapse of a scheme to create bogus cus...
