The Cryptocurrency Markets Continue To Fall Slowly

Sunday, Feb. 25: the crypto markets are downcast almost all across the board, although not by very much. Of the top ten coins listed on CoinMarketCap, no coin is down more than 5 percent in the 24-hour period by press time.

Only altcoins Litecoin (LTC) and IOTA out of those top ten coins are in the green spot. Litecoin is trading for about $208.53, up almost 2.8 percent over a 24-hour period by press time. IOTA is up even more, approximately 5 percent over a 24-hour period, trading for about $1.80 by press time.

Bitcoin (BTC) has spent the past day and a half below $10,000, a mark that it had broken through again on Feb. 15. This week saw BTC almost hammering $12,000 before gradually tumbling until it hit an intra-weekly low today.

BTC is presently trading for around $9,552.92, down a little more than 3 percent over a 24-hour period by press time.

Ethereum (ETH) is down 1.21 percent over a 24-hour period by press time, trading for around $827.65.

Total market cap is almost $420 bln by press time, down from the intra-week high of over $500 bln, but higher than the intra-week low thus far of around $417 bln.
