It’s another day in the red for the crypto market, and while it feels like we’ve been on a downwards rollercoaster for the last two months, it’s easy to forget that we’re still above June’s low of a $58xx Bitcoin.

Bitcoin is down 3.7% over the last 24 hours while Ethereum is down 2.6%. Tezos (XTZ, #18) has taken another significant hit, falling 9.7%, and so has ICON (ICX, #24), falling 8.7%. On the other end of the spectrum there’s not much to talk about, since only 5 of the top 100 coins have appreciated today.
