    Bitcoin Struggling At $7200 While Altcoins Recover From Sell-Off: Crypto Market Watch

    Author: Jordan Lyanchev

    Last Updated Dec 11, 2019 @ 22:08

    Most of the cryptocurrency market has been trading in the red over the last 24 hours. However, altcoins are seemingly making a slight recovery when looking at the bigger picture, as Bitcoin’s dominance loses 1%.

    Bitcoin’s price has been ranging between $7,400 and &7,600 in the last few days, but yesterday it marked a slow descent to the current level of $7,200 on Bitstamp.

    Taking a look at the technical aspects, Bitcoin could be retesting the next significant support level at $7,000. If it breaks below, then $6,800 and $6,500 are following as the latter is also the 6-month low. If Bitcoin is to reverse upwards, the $7,400 level is now the first resistance, followed by $7,700.

    Even though most altcoins are noting small drops, Bitcoin’s dominance over the market has also decreased to 66.6% after reaching 67% last week.

    The largest altcoin, Ethereum, has declined slightly with 1% over the last 24 hours, currently trading at $146. Ripple is in the same basket, while Binance Coin marks a total decrease of 2.5%.  Tezos is the only coin in the top 15 trading in the green – over 4% gain.
