The crypto market got the week off to a negative start as prices continued to slide lower on Monday, with Bitcoin bulls fighting to maintain support at $26,000.

- The crypto market got off to a negative start this week as prices continued to slide lower on Monday following last week’s rapid sell-off, which saw Bitcoin’s price drop more than 12% in a matter of hours while the total crypto market capitalization fell by $81 billion.

At the closing bell, the S&P and Nasdaq finished in the green, up 0.74% and 1.61%, respectively, while the Dow ended the day down 0.11%. The yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury bond was trading at 4.342%, near its highest level since November 2007. Last week, analysts at MN Trading warned about the possibility of a dip toward $27,500, and in Monday’s issue of the Trade Letter, analyst Gunter Lackmann noted that “the correction was faster and deeper than anticipated, causing more crypto positions to get liquidated than during the FTX collapse in November 2022.”“The positive view is that the price is holding the daily bullish order block between $24,824 - 26,087,” Lackmann said.

While Lackmann is on the lookout for a positive development, market analyst Rekt Capital posted the following tweet warning that additional downside for BTC could be on the table as sellers don’t appear to have reached the exhaustion phase yet.
