As a seasoned cryptocurrency analyst, I have seen many ups and downs in the market. Today’s market session is no exception, with much bear activity sending the global market cap down by 5.4% to $1.04T. This reminds me of a similar situation in 2018 when Bitcoin price took a nosedive, and the entire market was affected. In this article, I will explore the current state of various cryptocurrencies, including altcoin drops, Storj market cap, and Ripple price drop.
Bitcoin Price Dips to $25K Level
Bitcoin (BTC) has now again dropped back to the $25K level after recording a day’s drop of 2.9%. This is reminiscent of the time when I first started investing in Bitcoin and saw it struggle to find its footing among skeptics. Volatility levels are relatively stable as the Bollinger bands now maintain a close distance, showing reduced volatility. The MACD indicator has also shifted to the negative side as bears now push for market dominance.
ETH Faces an 8.5% Weekly Drop
Trading at $1,742 as of press time, ETH had also seen an 8.5% drop for the week. The last time I saw such a significant drop was during an ICO boom when Ethereum-based projects flooded the market, causing massive sell-offs.
Storj Market Cap at 92.35M
Storj has a current market cap of 92.35M and a trading volume of 40.82M as the circulating supply stands at 401,038,461.30 STORJ.

Altcoins Suffering from Massive Drops
Other altcoins are also having a bad session:
- Ripple (XRP) sits on a massive drop of 6% within a day of trading, and the weekly drop also sits at 6%.
- Cardano (ADA) has experienced a massive drop of 23%, with the weekly drop standing at 35%.
- Dogecoin (DOGE) has seen a 1.15% drop within the same period.
These drops bring back memories of my early days in the crypto world when I witnessed firsthand how quickly markets can change.
Tron’s Bad Day
Tron (TRX) is also having a rough time as the asset now sits on a 14% 24-hour drop ahead of a 20% weekly drop.
| Cryptocurrency | 24-hour Drop | Weekly Drop |
|---|---|---|
| Ripple (XRP) | 6% | 6% |
| Cardano (ADA) | 23% | 35% |
| Dogecoin (DOGE) | 1.15% | N/A |
| Tron (TRX) | 14% | 20% |
BNB’s Struggle Ahead of SEC/Binance Lawsuit
BNB, Binance’s native token, is also struggling amidst this market dip. With the SEC/Binance lawsuit looming, it seems that market uncertainty is taking its toll on all cryptocurrencies alike. As an analyst who has followed Binance’s journey since its inception, it is disheartening to see one of the leading cryptocurrency exchanges face such challenges.
In conclusion, today’s market session highlights the unpredictable nature of cryptocurrency markets. As someone who has been in this space for years, I urge investors to stay informed and make well-researched decisions before diving into any investment. Cryptocurrency market volatility may be challenging to navigate, but it also presents opportunities for those willing to adapt and learn from past experiences.
