It erased its gains for 2021 before recovering to trade at $32,481.93, according to CoinGecko, a crypto market data site.\nBitcoin at one point shed more than 10% to trade as low as $29,154.73, losing more than half its value since hitting a record high in April. That's after a tremendous performance in 2020, with the digital currency surging more than 300%.\nOther cryptos joined the sell-off before paring losses, with ethereum, the second-biggest digital currency by market value, slumping more than 5%. Now it's ticked up 0.7% over the past 24 hours.\nThe selling also spilled over to smaller coins like Dogecoin, a meme-inspired crypto that at one point tumbled more than 25% to erase all of its gains since April. It has since cut declines and is down 1% in the past day.\nHere’s what drove the latest sell-off:\nWill Dogecoin go up or bust?:Here are 700 million reasons its bubble will burst.\nBitcoin is up, then down:But exactly how does it work?\nWhy are cryptos falling?\nAfter topping $64,000 in April, bitcoin has struggled to reclaim its all-time highs since then following a series of events. It came under pressure in May after tech billionaire Elon Musk, who has driven traders into frenzies by mentioning cryptos at times, said Tesla will stop using Bitcoin as a form of payment over concerns of the cryptocurrency's impact on fossil fuels.\nSince then, cryptos have gyrated as coins such as ethereum typically to move in tandem with bitcoin.\nIn early June, bitcoin fell further amid concerns of its use in the Colonial Pipeline ransomware attack.\nBitcoin, for instance, briefly touched $40,000 last week and fell again Monday after China's central bank deepened a crackdown on cryptocurrencies. China's central bank said it ordered some banks and payment firms, including China Construction Bank and Alipay, to crack down further on cryptocurrency trading.\nBitcoin shed more than 10% on Monday, its largest one-day drop in over a month.\nHow much have Bitcoin, Ethereum and Dogecoin lost in value?\nWith Tuesday’s losses, bitcoin has slid more than 50% from its all-time high above $64,000 in mid-April. To be sure, bitcoin is still up more than 200% over the past 12 months.\nEthereum has shed nearly 57% from its all time high of $4,356.99 in May while Dogecoin has shed more than 70% since it touched a record of about 73 cents last month, according to CoinGecko.\nIs more pain to come?\nCryptos could be poised for further declines based on a closely watched indicator, according to technical analysts.\nOver the weekend, bitcoin formed a death cross, a chart pattern that signals the potential for a major sell-off. Bitcoin’s average price over the past 50 days fell below its 200-day moving average, which means there could be more pressure on the digital coin.\n\"Long-term bitcoin bulls are getting nervous as a break of $30,000 could see a tremendous amount of momentum selling,\" Edward Moya, senior market analyst at foreign-exchange trading service OANDA, said in a recent note. \"Many traders have waited for one more push lower, which could see crypto traders wait for a plunge towards the $20,000-$25,000 area.\"\nElon Musk, Snoops Dogg and Mark Cuban love Dogecoin. Should you?:How to stay safe when investing in cryptocurrency\nSome analysts think the May sell-off in bitcoin weakened institutional demand, which is likely to keep prices under pressure in the near term.\n\"There is little doubt that the boom and bust dynamics of the past weeks represent a setback to the institutional adoption of crypto markets and in particular of Bitcoin and Ethereum,” JPMorgan strategist Nikolaos Panigirtzoglou said in a report earlier this month.\nStill, some are using the recent decline in bitcoin as a buying opportunity. On Monday, MicroStrategy, enterprise software company, said it scooped up an additional $489 million worth of bitcoin, bringing its total holdings to 105,085 bitcoins.\nAre cryptos right for you?\nFirst-time investors should proceed with caution. Piling all of your nest egg into something as volatile as cryptocurrencies poses big risks to your retirement, experts say. Wealth managers and finance experts have long been skeptical of these speculative investments for amateur investors due to their extreme swings.\nIn 2013, bitcoin began trading around $13 and spiked to more than $1,000 by December. In late 2017, the digital token surged to nearly $20,000, before crashing to almost $3,000 the following year. What followed was a dizzying rise to above $64,000 in April 2021.\nDogecoin has seen similar booms and swoons. It has ridden a similar Reddit-driven wave as stocks like GameStop and AMC in recent months, accelerated by a series of tweets by Musk, who was pumping the cryptocurrency.\nCryptos are now in 401(k)s:Are they the right investment for your nest egg?\nEven with the latest declines, the sharp rise in the value of bitcoin earlier this year has some analysts worried about a potential bubble in the cryptocurrency market, with bitcoin's price – at one point – more than doubling since the start of 2021.\nAbout 81% of fund managers polled in a recent Bank of America survey in June said bitcoin was still a bubble. That’s up from about 75% of managers who said so in May.\n“While there's no guarantee that Bitcoin will recover this time, those who believe in its long-term future may well see this decline as an opportunity to invest more,” James Royal, analyst at Bankrate.com, said in a note.\n\"Cryptocurrency traders, especially individuals, need to know the risks of what they own,\" Royal added. \"In some cases, the risks could be a complete loss of their investment.”","kind":null,"is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":true,"is_publish_live":null,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":1},"commentList":[{"id":121928842,"gmtCreate":1624450594086,"gmtModify":1703837026977,"author":{"id":"3586409610140134","authorId":"3586409610140134","name":"Felixpow","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0a3007d4a16bb4b548591e43d3506ea8","vip":1,"crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"htmlText":"Opps","listText":"Opps","text":"Opps","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/121928842","repostId":1115716980,"repostType":4,"isVote":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"tweetType":1,"langContent":"EN"},{"id":121982829,"gmtCreate":1624449614261,"gmtModify":1703837003124,"author":{"id":"4087544583770050","authorId":"4087544583770050","name":"ChaiWei","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/e71252722c7e0285e021b28457ee8349","vip":1,"crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"htmlText":"Go up","listText":"Go up","text":"Go up","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/121982829","repostId":1115716980,"repostType":4,"isVote":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"tweetType":1,"langContent":"EN"},{"id":121995375,"gmtCreate":1624447816497,"gmtModify":1703836962494,"author":{"id":"3559384539347171","authorId":"3559384539347171","name":"super7white","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/33a044b05848b03ffdfc1e175c1588f4","vip":1,"crmLevel":6,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"htmlText":"Like and comment pls ?","listText":"Like and comment pls ?","text":"Like and comment pls ?","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/121995375","repostId":1115716980,"repostType":4,"isVote":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"tweetType":1,"langContent":"EN"},{"id":121068142,"gmtCreate":1624445038886,"gmtModify":1703836872658,"author":{"id":"3579351675564800","authorId":"3579351675564800","name":"Wookaka","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d13f2b4ff94c3f0d585387fba72a9aa7","vip":1,"crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"htmlText":"Collection&nbsp;","listText":"Collection&nbsp;","text":"Collection","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/121068142","repostId":1115716980,"repostType":4,"isVote":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"tweetType":1,"langContent":"EN"},{"id":121003753,"gmtCreate":1624442181372,"gmtModify":1703836800135,"author":{"id":"3572923710314905","authorId":"3572923710314905","name":"huathuatking","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/2f213995240eaab2cd1ce03e0a2cde28","vip":1,"crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"htmlText":"Probably we can buy now?
