On the other hand, Ether closed on a bearish note and remains positioned below the 20EMA Daily. Currently, the key support and resistance levels for Ether are at $2,175 (roughly Rs. 1.80 lakh) and $2,388 (roughly Rs. 1.98 lakh), respectively. As the crypto market continues to evolve, investors are closely monitoring these trends and levels for potential trading decisions.
Monday witnessed a widespread downturn in the cryptocurrency market, affecting not only Bitcoin and Ethereum but also a multitude of other digital assets. Notable cryptocurrencies such as Ripple, Cardano, Avalanche, Polygon, Shiba Inu, Litecoin, and Bitcoin Cash experienced losses alongside several others like Cosmos, Stellar, Near Protocol, Cronos, and Bitcoin SV, which also exhibited price dips.
The collective impact led to a 0.83 percent decline in the overall crypto sector over the last 24 hours. As a result, the sector’s valuation currently rests at $1.62 trillion (approximately Rs. 1,34,68,388 crore), according to data from CoinMarketCap.
This market-wide adjustment underscores the inherent volatility of the cryptocurrency landscape and the interconnected nature of various digital assets in responding to market shifts.
