A risk-on situation has developed for Bitcoin as investors look to take out cash to hold or to put into safe-haven assets. This cryptocurrency wipeout has extended into the altcoin markets and Ethereum is one of the major sufferers as it loses 30% in just one day!
The cryptocurrency tumbled from a high of $195 today to reach as low as $128 before rebound a little. Nevertheless, we can expect this extreme bearish sentiment to continue and ETH is now likely to head toward $100 and perhaps even lower.
