Lacklustre Markets See Bitcoin Dip Below $6,600, Top Altcoins See Minor Losses

Monday, October 1: crypto markets today are shaky and largely red, with Ripple losing the most among the large-market-cap coins and most altcoins hit with modest losses on the day, as data from Coin360 shows.

Bitcoin is down just over half a percent on the day, trading around $6,550 as of press time.

On its weekly chart, Bitcoin is around 0.28 percent in the red.

Monthly losses are however pushing a stark 9 percent.

Ethereum is down somewhat more, losing about 1 percent on the day to trade at $229 at press time.

On the week, Ethereum's gains remain in the green by a scant 0.89 percent; monthly losses are at around 22.20 percent.

Ripple has seen the heftiest losses among the top twenty coins on CoinMarketCap, shedding 4.44 percent on the day to trade at $0.54 as of press time.

The remaining top ten coins listed on CoinMarketCap are seeing mixed minor gains and losses capped within a one percent range.

In the context of the top twenty, most 24-hour changes are similarly small, capped below 2 percent, with a few exceptions.

NEM is up a strong 6.33 percent on the day, decoupling from the wider lacklustre market, even as it saw a similar dip to other assets in recent days.
