We may see BTC’s initial resistance at US$33,000 while the support holds at US$27,000, which can stabilize the price action in the coming days,” Edul Patel Co-Founder & CEO of Mudrex said.
“On the other hand, TerraUSD continues to crash, losing nearly 82 per cent in the past week, showcasing the potential risk of algorithmic stablecoins,” Patel said.
XRP fell by 1.65 per cent, Solana went down 0.03 per cent, Stellar fell by 0.10 per cent, Avalanche was down 5.12 per cent, Polkadot crashed over 4 per cent.
