Most cryptocurrencies, for the second day in a row, reflected losses on the price charts on Friday, February 10.

The price of the oldest crypto currency is hovering over the point of $21,869 (roughly Rs. 18 lakh). In the last 24 hours, BTC slipped price-wise by $641 (roughly Rs. 52,954), marking a significant decline.

Ether witnessed even greater losses than Bitcoin on Friday.

“After a good run over the past few weeks, the markets were jittery over the past 24 hours. It was an expected movement, considering the macroeconomic disaster surrounding Turkey. We can expect the crypto market to remain volatile over the coming couple of days. And this is why trading crypto is not an ideal strategy for the retail participants,” Edul Patel, the CEO and co-founder of Mudrex crypto investment firm told Gadgets 360.
