The price of Bitcoin ( BTC) is starting to take a breather after an impressive 11.7% rally over the past seven days. The market-leading cryptocurrency is down 3.7% across global exchanges and is trading at 17,375 USDT on OKEx.
Major altcoins are also shaving valuations, with most down somewhere between 1% and 5% against the United States dollar or USD-pegged stablecoins.
The total cryptocurrency market capitalization has lost 1.3% today and is now back below $500 billion, according to CoinGecko. BTC dominance has also shaved off 0.3% from yesterday.
The traditional markets are pulling back after an impressive rally that came off the back of positive news relating to COVID-vaccine trials. Dow Jones, S&P 500 and Nasdaq futures all fell yesterday.
