The market doesn’t seem to be recovering soon, as evident from the recent short-lasting recoveries. The market has continued to fluctuate since December 2021, and the only changes are short-lived gains. These gains are replaced by even-bigger losses, which has made the market suffer hugely. The current market cap is about $2.07T which has been reduced from $2.80T.
The leading role of bitcoin has been the main factor that has led to a depreciation in the market. The current fluctuation seems to be a continuation of the price correction phase that has been haunting bitcoin for since long. It might continue as experts believe that it will come to a stable situation once the price for bitcoin reaches a steady value. So, the sufferings of bitcoin might continue, and the rest of the coins will face the same plight.
Bitcoin has tried to stabilize itself, but the market doesn’t seem in the mood to stay stable. For this reason, investors are fearing for their capital and are pulling it out for the sake of security. So, resultantly the changes will continue, and the market might shrink further.
The market’s current situation shows an overall bearishness as the total market cap has reduced with the new fluctuations. Here is a brief overview of some of the main coins in the market.
BTC plunges back to lows

Final Thoughts
The market hasn’t been revived in the first five days of 2022. The pattern might continue as the problems are increasing in the form of the virus situation, growing inflation, and market price correction. If this lasts for long, then there are chances that along with price reduction for different tokens, the global market cap will also reduce with time. Though the market is seeing a bearish period, there are some investments in NFTs and other assets, but the market needs strong support.
The only change is possible if the leading tokens begin to emerge. If it happens, the market will be on its way to recovery soon.
