Ethereum [ETH] see a double-digit price drop as market bleeds red

As the week came to a close, the entire cryptocurrency market faced the wrath of the bear. Most tokens witnessed their price supports take a hit with many investors seeing it as an opportunity to “buy the dip”. Up until last week, altcoins were performing better than Bitcoin but it looks like the world’s largest altcoin was doing a better job fending the bear now.

On Friday, Ethereum took a hit with a daily drop of over 7 percent. This red bleed leaked into the weekly rate as the loss percentage shot up to 17 percent. At the time of writing, ETH was trading for $2855.92 while holding a market cap of $336.84 billion. The latest bear crash took a massive chunk out of the daily trading volume, clocking in at $19.2 billion.

Ethereum’s crash was also accompanied by a lot of people moving into DeFi investments. New investments were still coming in from supporters and crypto organizations.
