Besides Bitcoin, which is hovering around the $20,000 market, there are other cryptocurrencies that have also witnessed the slip. Among these, Ether has slipped lower and is valued at $1,160 on CoinSwitch Kuber. On the other hand, the global exchanges value Ether at $1,098. This shows that the cryptocurrency has lost 2.14% of its value in the past 24 hours. As per CoinGecko data, this slide in Ether's value in 24 hours remains in the red by almost 10% as compared to last week.

In addition to Bitcoin and Ether, other cryptocurrencies, including BNB, Solana, Chainlink, Avalanche, and Polkadot are also in the red. Surprisingly, Elrond and Uniswap are managing to keep themselves away from the red mark. Currently, Dogecoin is valued at $0.06 after a surge of 5.83% in the past 24 hours.
What Holds For Future?
