The crypto market has shed over $25 billion in value over the course of the afternoon hours, as Bitcoin price<\/a> was rejected at $13,000, sending it quickly below $12,000, and is at risk of falling further now that the bullish momentum is waning. Altcoins have also been dropping like flies amidst the powerful Bitcoin move.<\/span><\/p>\n With the crypto market now uncertain about the direction, what\u2019s next for Bitcoin price? And when might altcoins<\/a> finally bounce and start bringing some much needed relief to HODLers of the alternative asset class?<\/span><\/p>\n Bitcoin price traded above $13,000 at the start of the day, but it may end it thousands of dollars below, now that Bitcoin\u2019s bullish rally is in the first real jeopardy it\u2019s been in since it first began back in April.<\/span><\/p>\n Throughout the 2019 parabolic rise in Bitcoin price<\/a>, corrections have been shaken off without so much as a scratch for investors of the emerging digital asset class.

Now the alternative assets are plummeting, and may have dragged Bitcoin and the rest of the total market cap with the rest of them.<\/span><\/p>\n Altcoins may not have bottomed the same way Bitcoin did back in December. While a strong bounce certainly occurred, bringing some hope that a new \u201calt season\u201d was almost guaranteed. However, HODLers holding out for hope are being tested today as altcoins have dropped in value as much as 5-10% and more across the board.<\/span><\/p>\n Related Reading | Crypto Capitulation: An Altcoin Obituary, Or the Biggest Buy Signal Ever?<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\nBitcoin Price Smashes Below $12,000, Is Below $11,000 Next?<\/span><\/h2>\n
