What’s Causing the Prolonged Crash in Altcoin Market?

What’s Causing the Prolonged Crash in Altcoin Market? Altcoin News
  • Altcoins have been ruled by the bears for the past week.
  • The global crypto market cap is $2.33T, a decline of 2.41% within 24 hours.

The altcoin market is experiencing a prolonged decline, making it a hard time for investors. It is influenced by several factors that have created a complex environment for the assets. The launch and oversupply of new coins play a vital role in the decline, leading to a steep market. 

According to crypto analyst Pentoshi, around $200 million a day is needed to balance the prices of these newly launched coins. This imbalance between demand and supply has led to a steep fall in altcoin prices while the market struggles to preoccupy the rush of upcoming assets.

As Bitcoin is the largest asset by market cap, it may influence other coins’s momentum. At the time of writing, BTC is trading at $65,181, with a decline of 0.93%. Bitcoin has been struggling to break the $65K range for the last week. Thus, its nearby resistance may be found at $66,245. The initial support is found in the $64,235 range.
