A number of other smaller cryptocurrencies such as Solana, XRP, Cardano, Polkadot, Dogecoin, Chainlink and Uniswap fell slightly as the overall market momentum weakened.

Edul Patel, CEO and Co-founder of Mudrex, a global algorithm-based crypto investment platform, said, “The cryptocurrency market faced a minor pullback after a quick sprint over the past 24 hours. BTC dropped to just above $56,000 after inching closer $59,000 mark.”

“Most of the altcoins too settled marginally lower after the initial rally. The coming 24 hours could likely be a range-bound session provided there is no major sell-off after the European equity markets open today,” he added.
