Cryptocurrencies Aug 25: downward pressure grows

The crypto market continues to extend losses across the board as prevailing selloff by investors is showing no signs of abating on the back of a strong pickup in risk aversion. Average loss per coin has been near 5.8% over the past 24-hour period.

Investors and traders are growing increasingly nervous amid souring mood and negative outlook that may intensify a further downward pressure due to the profit-taking after the recent surge.

Smaller coins, which typically rise and fall in tandem with bitcoin, are maintaining their corelation to the major currencies. Market direction is mostly infleunced by the large-cap coins, although they are not the main movers themselves.

The most popular cryptocurrency bitcoin is down 3% to US $47,740 after failing to hold above US $50,000. Ether is trading at US $3,180 (down 4.1%)

Among Top 10 big caps, Solana (SOL) is the best performer up 4.5% in 24 hours.
