Early Monday, bears stepped up selling at $69. [] $50,000 and fell to $66. [] $50,000 on Tuesday morning.”
Kuptsikevich Said: " stablecoin transactions have not increased since the end of September, which could halt growth in the entire cryptocurrency market, as stablecoins are often seen as quick purchases of liquidity from the token of interest. The previous growth momentum was from August to September, when the overall cryptocurrency market value was pushed up from the bottom.”
