With more than 19,000 cryptocurrencies in existence and counting, there are more than triple the number of crypto coins than there are US exchange-listed stocks. That massive amount of supply makes it nearly impossible to keep track of all the big movers in the crypto sector outside of well-known coins like bitcoin, ether, and dogecoin. The surge in new crypto coins came amid a massive bull market for the sector in 2021, but a more than 50% decline in bitcoin from its November high is challenging the space, especially in smaller coins that saw extraordinary gains last year like Solana, Cardano, and Polkadot. This article explores the top cryptocurrencies to sell in the crypto bloodbath 2.0.
Ether is down 69.3% in the second quarter and is on track for its worst quarter on record, dating back to its inception in 2015. Bitcoin has lost around 58% of its value in the second quarter of 2022, its worst quarterly loss in more than a decade. According to crypto experts, this is the worst quarterly performance for bitcoin since the third quarter of 2011 when it lost 68.1% of its value.
The bear market has already pushed Shiba Inu back to the 5-zeroes after declining 10%. But there is so much that might push the Shiba Inu price even further down. Shiba Inu's price slipped further to the downside after price action tried to pop above and break the 55-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) that has been hanging over the price action as a watchdog keeping the downtrend in play.
The Ethereum price grew considerably back in 2021, with its value revolving around US$4,000. But during the crypto market meltdown, its value dropped down to US$2k and dramatically continued to fall with the several downturns that the crypto market faced. Ether is down 69.3% in the second quarter and is on track for its worst quarter on record, dating back to its inception in 2015.
