Crypto Market Cap Shrinks By 100 Billion Amidst Recent Corrections

The crypto space is seeing a significant reduction from its market capitalization as Bitcoin faces some corrections due to the selling pressure. While some traders are scared that the digital asset would go below the $40,000 mark, experts assured that the correction is healthy due to the crypto’s sudden rise, which hit an ATH at $48,000.

The market cap, which sources informed that it had recovered from the January correction, now suffers a price fall after the asset surges with Tesla’s investment. Tesla invested around $1.5 billion into the digital asset, and then later immediately appreciated by over $8,000, which currently attracts investors interested in joining the crypto industry.

Bitcoin falls below the $44,000 price mark

The price, which the asset previously stabilized on, no longer holds the digital currency, as the crypto falls beneath the support. Many people saw the correction coming because the asset grew by over 20% within a day. Fortunately, the tech giant, Tesla, revealed plans of adding crypto as a payment means for its products, thereby encouraging and promoting its usage to the mainstream.

The correction is the most significant one the asset has seen since the price skyrocketed to the $48,000 price mark while hitting some essential resistance points. The correction led to some panic selling, worsening the situation, thereby leading to more falls within the $40,000 range.

Tesla had previously announced its new investment before sources confirmed the claim with its filling on SEC’s platform. The Securities and Exchange Commission is responsible for situations on cryptocurrencies and other securities. When the public saw the buy, they rushed into buying more assets in a bid to record significant gains.

The asset soared so high that it almost reached $50,000, after moving from its $39,000 position. Naturally, when cryptos gain mainly within the short term, there is usually a price correction that follows it, thereby stabilizing the price at a point.

Exchanges trades BTC below $44,000

While some still trade the asset range, others like Bitstamp was trading the asset around $43,700 when the crypto saw a pullback. Fortunately, experts predict a long-term upward trend for Bitcoin, mainly due to its structure and the bull market.

Over a billion-dollar worth of long positions saw a liquidation, which contributed to the price drop. Interestingly, unlike Bitcoin, which dropped, many altcoins recorded notable gains amidst the continuous price corrections linked to rapid sell-offs.

Bitcoin’s market dominance stood at over 80% during the price growth, but the present correction takes the asset to around 60%, with Ethereum gaining some larger market for itself. The firm’s investment did not surprise some people because Elon Musk had declared his interest in the digital asset.
