Market Wrap<\/a><\/h2>\n

There has been a bit of a cooling off for Bitcoin and crypto markets following solid gains over the past couple of days<\/a>. Red has seeped into the charts as losses begin to accelerate during Asian trading today. This has knocked $7 billion off total crypto market capitalization as it slides back towards $265 billion.<\/p>\n

From a high of $8,760 a few hours ago Bitcoin started to fall back<\/a>, dropping 3 percent to below $8,500. The selloff has accelerated over the past two hours and may well result in a fall back to resistance at around $8,200. The big 30 percent pullback is still looming and it may have just started to happen.<\/p>\n

Ethereum has followed suit, dropping a similar amount at the time of writing and falling back to $263. ETH still remains coupled to the movements of BTC, especially on the downside.<\/p>\n

The top ten is all red at the moment with altcoin losses starting to mount up. Only XRP is surviving<\/a> right now with no losses on the day but that will definitely change if markets drop further. Binance Coin has lost the most with a 5 percent slide back to $32 while Litecoin is back at $111 losing almost 3 percent.<\/p>\n

There is only one altcoin surging in the top twenty today. IOTA<\/a> has pumped over 16 percent as the Tangle team announces the next evolutionary stage for the platform. A move closer to full decentralization with \u2018Coordicide\u2019 has driven IOTA fomo today as it gets close to $0.50.<\/p>\n
