A sharp sell-off once again affected the cryptocurrency market today. With the decline accelerating throughout the day, Bitcoin (BTC) fell below the $92,000 level, while Ethereum (ETH) lost the psychological $3,000 threshold.
The market decline was further deepened by mass liquidations of heavily leveraged positions.
