Cryptocurrency prices on February 20: Solana, Internet Computer, and Bitcoin all fall by up to 4% and below $52,000.
In Tuesday's trade, major cryptocurrency tokens were mixed with a tilt towards declines. Ethereum, BNB, XRP, Cardano, Dogecoin, Tron, Polkadot, Toncoin, and Shiba Inu were trading in the green, while Bitcoin, Solana, Avalanche, Chainlink, Polygon, and Internet Computer were trading in the red.
At 12:25 p.m., Ethereum was up 0.34% at $2,931, while Bitcoin was 0.9% lower at $51,926, according to market data. Over the previous day, the value of the worldwide cryptocurrency market dropped by 0.1% to approximately $1.98 trillion.
"After testing the $52,000 resistance level, traders are now consolidating Bitcoin at $51,700 as they book profits. The $52,200 level is the immediate barrier, and if it is not overcome, support may be found at $51,300," stated Edul Patel, CEO of Mudrex.
In the meantime, Giottus CEO Vikram Subburaj stated, "Bitcoin is stabilising below $52,000 after running into resistance at that level. This week, a sharp increase towards $53,000 is conceivable as market makers attempt to invalidate significant short positions in the market. This week's cryptocurrency events, particularly NVIDIA's highly anticipated quarterly report, might be impacted by broader stock market mood.
Solana, Avalanche, Internet Computer, and Chainlink were the top losers among the major altcoins, losing 1-4 percent.
