Crypto Price Update July 18: BTC Falls to $64K, ETH Above $3.4K, SOL, XRP, and DOGE Dip

The crypto prices today have been hit with several negative updates over the last 24 hours. Fresh off the brute force attempt on the defunct Mt. Gox exchange and the sudden hack of one of India’s largest crypto exchanges, Wazirx, the market has experienced a notable FUD that has led to a marginal reduction in valuation.

Bitcoin has lost some of the accumulated gains from the previous day and is now resting at around $64,000. Likewise, Ethereum has taken the same route, losing some percentage of its previous gains but remains above the critical $3,400 mark. Other altcoins have exhibited mixed movements, some in red and others in green. However, what is most important is that the sentiment surrounding the market remains positive as demonstrated in the crypto fear and greed index data which rests on 61 points, signifying ‘greed.’

Consequently, the total market cap dropped a meager 0.29% to $2.37 trillion. Could this be the start of a bearish outturn, or could it be a little bump on the road to a potential bull market? Let us look at an overview of the top crypto prices in the market today.

Top Crypto Prices Update

In the wake of the Mt. Gox saga, Bitcoin saw a little dip in its value. However, it looks like the flagship crypto is about to take center stage, spiking by 0.22% and changing hands at $64,958. Also, it can be seen in its 24-hour trading volume that the activities surrounding the coin have dropped significantly by 25% to $28 billion. Notably, the spot Bitcoin ETF inflows as of July 17 was $53.35 million according to Soso Value data. The cumulative total net flow is at $16.59 billion.

Moving on, the altcoin market looks a bit dicey. The crypto heat map shows that most of the top altcoins traded in the red zone over the last day. Meanwhile, Ethereum has recovered 0.49% of its value at press time to trade at $3,469. While investors continue to wait for the potential launch of ETH ETF, the price of the coin has traded between the lows and highs of $3,377 and $3,479 respectively.
