As early as 04:30 GMT+2 on Sunday, up to top 34 cryptocurrencies on CoinMarketCap were all in pimento red, bleeding profusely as if there had been a knife battle between some savages. Only 12 cryptos out of the top 100 could boast of gains.
In the top 10, blood was gushing out of the nose of market leader Bitcoin with a negative 6.17 percent bashing bringing the price to $2,579.65. Ether's market price, which was worth over $350 on Saturday afternoon, has now crashed to $319.
The big players have all been subdued by slumps and the market is a mere shadow of itself. Though losses do not appear to be hefty like previous downturns, there are strong indications of a bad omen.
The biggest losers in the top 10 were newcomer IOTA, who experienced a 12.11 percent fall, followed by Blockchain application token Stratis, with a negative 12.5 percentage points. The least decay was recorded by SegWit pioneer Litecoin, which was not even tiny - 5.67 percent.
