Prices of popular cryptocurrencies Bitcoin and Ethereun fell as the global crypto market was treading in red amid escalating tension between Russia and Ukraine, according to details on coindesk.

“The global market cap and trading volume fell by nearly 2 per cent and 7 per cent over the last day. Bitcoin and Ethereum dipped below US$42,000 and US$3,000 levels in the past 24 hours. According to the market cap, most altcoins dropped into the red over the weekend,” Edul Patel, CEO and Co-founder, Mudrex said.
“This situation could be due to the ongoing pressure of war with Russia. Since there are no conditions of BTC being oversold, it can keep the short-term buyers active in the market. The support price of BTC ranges between US$35,000 to US$40,000, which could stabilize the pullbacks,” Patel said.
