The whole market capitalization dropped by 10%, to USD 279 billion. However, bitcoin dominance, or the percentage of the total market capitalization, is still above 65%.

Among the top 10 coins by market capitalization, ether and bitcoin sv registered the biggest losses (17% and 21% respectively). Other major tokens lost 5%-17% of their value.

Among the top 100 coins, only JCT, CCX, HT and NET are in green.

Meanwhile, Juan Villaverde, head of the Weiss Ratings team of analysts and computer programmers who created Weiss cryptocurrency ratings, in an opinion piece last week argued that despite recent volatility “this is the strongest first phase of any bull market in the entire history of Bitcoin.”
