The cryptocurrency market is down by roughly 1% over the past 24 hours.

Why the crypto market is down today

The cryptocurrency market recorded a sharp spike in movement a few hours ago. Bitcoin, the world’s leading cryptocurrency by market cap, was trading just above $28k earlier today.

However, BTC fell below the $27k level for the first time in more than a week, briefly touching the $26,990 mark before retracing its movement.

According to market experts, the sharp decline in Bitcoin’s price came as a result of a transaction from the United States government’s BTC wallet.
