Other altcoins market today
In the past three sessions, many small cap altcoins extended losses and declined more than 8%, including INB, DENT, AOA, TRX, ABBC, BTM, HC, THR, OMG and QTUM. Out of these, INB is down around 21% and DENT declined nearly 14%.
Overall, bitcoin is clearly struggling to hold the ground above the USD 11,000 level. BTC/USD must climb back above USD 12,000 and USD 12,200. If not, there is a risk of more losses below USD 11,000 and USD 10,500.
