- Ethereum takes the brunt of the falls and gives market share to Bitcoin.
- Pause in the falls before looking for key supports at lower prices.
- Ripple plays dangerously and risks looking for support at the $0.20 level.
The time for price action came yesterday, and after several days of playing tricks, the market showed its true intentions.
The board was dyed red, concentrated mainly in the Altcoin segment and Ethereum as the maximum representative of the sub-segment.
The war for market share, expressed through the dominance charts, confirmed the offensive launched by Bitcoin days ago and sent Ethereum to the critical support level at 12.32, the same level where Ethereum’s decline found ground the last six times.
The analysis of the chart gives a high probability that the decline in the market share level for Ether will continue. If this scenario is confirmed, the main target is on the upward trend line that governs the movement in the 11.50 area.
The sentiment level is impacted by the fall and is at 39 today, a drop of over 20% from yesterday’s levels.
