Crypto Trends 20 – 26 February 2023: Market Analysis and Performance

The crypto market had a poor week following a surprising and enriching bull run. Most assets have lost some recent gains as they experienced a mild correction. Meanwhile, the market capitalization dropped by around $60 billion but remained above the $1 trillion mark.

Bitcoin started the week riding high and around the $25,000 level. The more optimistic BTC supporters hoped for a continuous surge all the way to $30k. Unfortunately, the king cryptocurrency went on a slow and slippery slope to welcoming support at $23,000. While some may be disappointed in this devaluing, Bitcoin may not spend too much time in these shallow waters. Currently, BTC is trading at $23,200 and is eager to grow on a 1% boost in the past 24 hours.

Ethereum followed in Bitcoin’s footsteps and dropped by 6% of its value as well. The second crypto in command is now trading at $1,600, but the dreams of reaching $2k remain alive. A resurging interest in trading could soon see ETH back to higher-gaining days.

The crypto market contracted this week as most assets lost nearly half of their recent gains. This is a normal movement for a financial market that has struggled for over a year. The recent bull run, or rather sprint, was bound to bring a mild contraction. Hopefully, this downtrend will not last too many days, and the market will recover soon.
