Weekend Watch: Status Quo as BTC Steady at $40K, ETH at $3,000

The cryptocurrency market stands still today, but Bitcoin and Ethereum trade above $40,000 and $3,000, respectively.

Following the recent price fluctuations, bitcoin has stalled and remains just above the coveted $40,000 mark. The altcoins are also untypically stable today, with Ethereum maintaining $3,000 and Binance Coin sitting well above $400.

Bitcoin Stable Above $40K

Bitcoin’s price went through some enhanced volatility in the past week or so as it all started from the asset’s inability to overcome $47,000 decisively. The bears took advantage of this and started pushing it south, with BTC slumping to $45,000 and $43,000 in a matter of days.

The situation worsened when the cryptocurrency fell below the January 2021 ATH of $42,000. The nosedives continued, and shortly after, bitcoin declined to a monthly low beneath $40,000.

It bounced off after the second drop below that level and spiked to nearly $42,000 a few days ago. However, the generally bearish sentiment in the market continued and pushed BTC down again. As of now, the asset stands at just over $40,000, and its market capitalization sits at $770 billion.
