“Over the weekend, Bitcoin maintained its downward trend and entered a correction phase, resulting in a drop in investor confidence.” This could be due to macroeconomic and crypto-industry uncertainties that investors and traders were still considering. If the price falls from its current level, the next level of support would be $27,119 (roughly Rs. 22.2 lakh). Meanwhile, Ethereum has lost all of its gains from the Shanghai upgrade. Overall, the market appears to be bearish at the moment’, Edul Patel, CEO of the Mudrex crypto investment platform, told Gadgets 360.
