Cryptocurrencies took another collective plunge this week.
Starting on November 15th, the Bitcoin spot price declined rapidly. From the height of $66,356.58, the price of BTC lost $6,300 and closed below $56,000 in a matter of just 4 days.
The 16th was the day when the BTC spot price dropped the most, with the price falling by more than $5,300 in a single day. Also on the 16th Bitcoin spot saw a penetration of the lower 20-day Bollinger band, breaking the safety level.
On the 18th, the BTC spot price touched another significant level, the 60-day SMA.
On the 19th, BTC continued to stay below the 60-day SMA, which is the first time since September 16th that the bitcoin price fell below the significant level.
Ether, on the other hand, showed an even more pronounced decline. The highest drop in a single day reached 10%.
Currently, the price of ETH has not yet touched the 60-day SMA, but it has broken through the lower bounds of the Bollinger band.
Technical indicators have not shown any signs of a reversal just yet, and the downtrend is likely to continue.
This plunge is mainly dominated by Bitcoin and Ether, which has weakened the performance of other cryptocurrencies, although not on a significant level which is a good sign for now.
