Crypto markets sliding slowly; EOS, Cosmos ETC accelerating losses, BSV and Tron holding steady.
Market Wrap
The crypto correction appears to have slowed today but has not reversed and the short term trend is still downwards. Markets have settled a little following yesterday’s big dump but further losses could be imminent. Total market capitalization has now dropped below $250 billion.
Bitcoin has spent a large part of the past 24 hours hovering around $8,000 but could not hold that level. A slide last night dropped it back below $7,500 but BTC has since recovered marginally. Lower highs and lower lows indicate further losses however; Bitcoin is currently trading at $7,750.
Ethereum has weakened slightly and is now back below $245. Price has turned short term bearish and it is likely to mimic what Bitcoin does over the course of the day. Major ETH support lies at $240.
The top ten is still largely in the red for the third day this week. Losses have decelerated though and altcoins appear to be preparing for a bounce which may be short lived. EOS has dumped a further 6 percent dropping back to $6.20 while Litecoin hold steady above it in fifth. The rest have not moved much aside from Bitcoin SV which, adding another 4 percent, could be manipulated again.
Top twenty movements during Asian crypto trading today are larger, and mostly in a southerly direction.

Only Tron is making a little back today as 4 percent is added to TRX to reach $0.035.
