Why is the cryptocurrency market down today?
Over the past 24 hours, the total market capitalization (TOTAL) and price of Bitcoin (BTC) have lost a key support level on the daily chart. While some altcoins have seen notable rises, many, such as BONK (BONK), have seen notable declines.
In today’s news:-
- According to a May 28 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Hashdex has withdrawn its application for an Ethereum spot ETF. The initial proposal to withdraw the application came on May 24, just after the SEC approved every spot deposit of the ETH ETF.
- The US Treasury Report has released a risk assessment report related to NFTs. The report highlighted that NFTs and similar assets are highly susceptible to use in fraud and rip-offs.
The total market cap is in the red
After showing signs of closing above the $2.50 trillion mark for days, the combined value of all crypto assets fell below that mark. The total market capitalization now stands at $2.46 trillion, the lowest point in nearly ten days.
The next critical support is at $2.39 trillion; a decline to this point would mean a 2.5% decline, which is possible. This is because the Ichimoku cloud shows a bearish attitude despite being below the candles.

The Ichimoku Cloud is a comprehensive technical analysis indicator that defines support and resistance, identifies trend direction and measures momentum. Therefore, a drop to $2.39 would erase most of the gains the market saw on May 20.
Bitcoin price loses key support
The price of Bitcoin dictates the direction of the market during intraday trading hours and, rightly so, is bearish. This is because the world’s largest crypto asset has lost the critical support level of $68,500.
The moving average convergence divergence (MACD) also changes its tone from bullish to bearish after almost four weeks. The MACD is a momentum indicator that shows the relationship between two moving averages of a stock’s price and generates buy and sell signals.

A bearish crossover is at its peak, and if confirmed, BTC could drop to lows of $64,883, the next key support level.
The bearish signals destroyed BONK investors
BONK price made a new all-time high this week after rallying to $0.00004000. But soon after achieving the result, the meme coin dropped nearly 15% in the past 24 hours, dropping BONK to $0.00003518.
Although the chances of a further decline are high, BONK could avoid a collapse if it recovers from the $0.000035000 support.

However, if this price is missed, BONK price could drop to as low as $0.00003000.
