The cryptocurrency market has resumed its downward correction as altcoins are set back from their previous highs. This came after the BTC price fell to its recent high on February 17.
The bulls failed to overcome the overriding resistance of $45,000 after several unsuccessful attempts. However, Bitcoin is struggling to regain the psychological price level of $40,000. This will have a positive impact on the altcoins.
