Ethereum is down 5.5%
Ethereum (ETH) has fluctuated between USD 2,000 and USD 2,100 following the crash last week. However, yesterday’s ether lost traction and plummeted to around $1,960 with a dip to $1,940. However, it didn’t stop there and ETH even briefly dipped to $1,910 last night. This morning, ETH was able to recover slightly and appeared to find a hold at $1,950 for a while, but is currently dropping to $1,920 with the price down 5% today.

TRX and BNB hold up better
Of the top 10 largest altcoins (without stablecoins), tron (TRX) is the only one to turn green again. TRX is rising to $0.073 this morning, bringing the price up 0.8%. Binance coin (BNB) made another small bounce this morning, but failed to recapture $300. Nevertheless, with $296, BNB is still ‘only’ 1.8% in the minus.
