Cryptocurrency Price Today: After a shocking downfall, crypto coins continued to show the aftereffects as the global cryptocurrency market fell by a slight margin on Saturday, May 21. This came largely in line with the US stock market behaviour, which had a wild day on Friday with the S&P 500 index nearing the bear markets for a few moments before it rebounded to decent levels. As a result, the global cryptocurrency market fell down by 2.77 per cent over the last day, with its value standing at $1.25 trillion, as per data.
“While the current crash in the US stock and bitcoin markets bears similarities to the March 2020 crash, the recovery may not follow the same trajectory as market conditions are different. In 2020, the Fed supported markets with unprecedented stimulus, but in 2022 the focus will remain on reducing inflation and tightening monetary policy,” said the WazirX trade desk on its weekly cryptocurrency note.
