The cryptocurrency market digest (BTC). Overview for 07.12.2022

The BTC is being dragged down again. On Wednesday, the leading crypto is declining to 16,827 USD. And while yesterday there was a good chance to return above the resistance level of 17,200 USD, today this scenario just has no reason to be considered realistic.

There is no correlation with the US stock markets, neither there is any connection to the real situation around. The crypto market is in a standby mode.

The risk factor is the same: trust and safety issues. After the epic crash of the FXT exchange and some problems with Genesis, investors tend to doubt everything they see.

Capitalisation of the crypto market today is 837.97 billion USD; the BTC takes up 38.5%, the ETH — 17.9%.
