Bitcoin’s adverse price actions went to another level on Saturday when the asset plummeted to just over $75,000, which became its lowest price tag since April last year.

The alternative coins bled out heavily as well, with the likes of ETH, XRP, SOL, and many others plunging by double digits at one point. The total crypto market cap erased around $200 billion in hours.

BTC Dumped to $75K

It was already a painful week for BTC, which began with a nosedive last Sunday and Monday when the asset fell from $89,000 to a five-month low at the time of $86,000. It recovered in the following days to over $90,000 before the FOMC meeting on Wednesday, but started to drop in the hours after the Fed paused the interest rate cuts.

The situation worsened on Thursday when some of the US Navy moved closer to Iran as the tension in the Middle East skyrocketed. Bitcoin lost $9,000 in hours and fell to $81,000 for the first time since last July.

It recovered some ground on Friday while the precious metal market crumbled. However, the bears took control once again on Saturday. BTC traded sideways around $83,000 and $84,000 when it suddenly initiated a massive leg down, resulting in a crash to just over $75,000. Thus, the cryptocurrency had lost roughly $20,000 in less than two weeks.

Despite recovering to $79,000 as of now, BTC is still 5% down on the day. Its market cap has plunged below $1.6 trillion, while its dominance over the alts is at 57.4% on CG.

Alts Bleed Out

Ethereum was among the worst performers yesterday when it plummeted from roughly $2,800 to $2,250. Ripple’s XRP plunged to a 14-month low at $1.50. Most other altcoins followed a similar trajectory with massive declines, and have managed to post only modest rebounds in the past 12 hours or so.

The 24-hour scale now shows a clear and painful picture, with a 9% drop for SOL, a 10% decline for XMR, while LTC, SUI, LINK, and DOGE are down by about 5%. RAIN, HYPE, and CC are among the few exceptions from the larger-cap alts.

The total crypto market cap erased $200 billion from top to bottom, going down to $2.7 trillion on CG.

Today’s Wordle #1552 Hints And Answer For Thursday, September 18th

The post Today’s Wordle #1552 Hints And Answer For Thursday, September 18th appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. How to solve today’s Wordle. SOPA Images/LightRocket via Getty Images I posted the Wordle Wednesday riddle yesterday, but somehow had deleted it when the post went live, so the riddle itself went up late. If you missed it, my apologies. In any case, the solution is below, but first, here was the (late) riddle: “I’m the beginning of the end and the end of time and space. I am in everything and surround every place. What am I?” The answer: The letter “E”. It’s the beginning of End and the end of timE and spacE. It’s in evErything and surrounds Every placE. Kind of clever. It would be much harder if you heard the riddle spoken. Looking for Tuesday’s Wordle? Check out our guide right here. How To Play Wordle Wordle is a daily word puzzle game where your goal is to guess a hidden five-letter word in six tries or fewer. After each guess, the game gives feedback to help you get closer to the answer: Green: The letter is in the word and in the correct spot. Yellow: The letter is in the word, but in the wrong spot. Gray: The letter is not in the word at all. Use these clues to narrow down your guesses. Every day brings a new word, and everyone around the world is trying to solve the same puzzle. Some Wordlers also play Competitive Wordle against friends, family, the Wordle Bot or even against me, your humble narrator. See rules for Competitive Wordle toward the end of this post.
