The bulls tried to initiate a few more price pumps the following days, which culminated in another challenge of $29,000 yesterday. However, the cryptocurrency failed to overcome that level and has lost several hundred dollars since then.
Meanwhile, the altcoins have turned red on a daily scale now. The only exceptions from the larger ones are LEO, UNI, and MNT.
