Current Bitcoin Price: $6411 (as of 8:30 AM PST)

After yesterday’s Bitcoin dump, the major cryptocurrency continued to fall a further $500. However, it has found support around the $6400 mark today. The news is equally bad — if not worse — for most other major cryptos, with Ethereum down just under 12% on the one hand and Ripple down under 5% on the other.

Outperforming the rest of the market are MCO and QASH, two obscure top-100 coins that are up 7.05% and 0.21% respectively. Meanwhile, three Bitcoin forks — Diamond, Dark, and Private — are topping the damage charts today.
