Bitcoin is dangerously close to dropping below $6,000 level. If we take a look at the past 24 hours, the loss has been of 5.09 percent while the trading volume also took a dip to $4.2 billion. The world’s leading cryptocurrency is doing really bad as it started its journey today above $6,400 level before taking a dump to $6,100.

$24 Billion wiped out in 1 day from the total market cap
Today has been a really bad day for the entire cryptocurrency market. In tandem with the Bitcoin, a majority of the cryptocurrencies lost a significant part of their value.
At the time of writing, top cryptocurrencies with high losses have been:
- Ethereum (ETH) – 12.63% down at $316
- XRP (XRP) – 12.11% low at $0.297
- Bitcoin Cash (BCH) – 8.09% decline at $551

Right now, the streets are bleeding red and the price is further expected to drop more in the coming days. However, this is the perfect opportunity for an investor to buy cryptocurrencies at as high as 95 percent discount from its all-time high (ATH). This is in no way an investment advice but with the prices so low, it’s the best time to buy in and secure your positions.
