All nine of its largest peers tracked in real time by Bloomberg fell, with drops ranging as high as 21 percent for Monero.<br /><br />This year’s collapse, which has ensnared rival coins like Ether and XRP, is entering the same league as Bitcoin’s 93 percent plunge in 2011 from its previous record high, and its 84 percent rout from 2013 to 2015, during the collapse of Tokyo-based crypto exchange Mt. Gox. In dollar terms, the damage has been even bigger this time around: Virtual currencies tracked by CoinMarketCap.com have lost more than $700 billion of value since the market peaked in January.<br /><br />“There’s an element of almost shock: there’s nothing to suggest the sell-off is over,” said Craig Erlam, senior market analyst at securities firm Oanda Corp. in London. “This was a market primarily driven by sentiment since last year, and it’s since been completely destroyed.”<br /><br />While bulls are betting that demand from institutional investors will stabilize prices, most big money managers have stayed on the sidelines amid concerns over exchange security, market manipulation and regulatory risk.<br /><br />The sell-off is “really testing the faith of a few key players,” said Ryan Rabaglia, Hong Kong-based head trader at OSL, a cryptocurrency dealing firm. “For this next push, we are going to need that institutional money to come in finally. To lend that support and help with growth.”<br /><br />Oanda’s Erlam is among strategists who say traders confidence was shattered after Bitcoin crashed through $6,000 earlier this month. The level had seemed to be a genuine support for the token all year and likely to have encouraged traders to put stop loss orders just below it.Createwealth8888https://www.blogger.com/profile/08563834016250153049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1602023866179666640.post-1152615951968126492018-11-21T14:49:54.284+08:002018-11-21T14:49:54.284+08:00I love such quick & scary drops .... helps to ...I love such quick & scary drops .... helps to clear sentiments! :)<br /><br />And also good for a short scalp or Vix trade if don't mind staring at the screen for an hour or so.
