Price Point

Bitcoin (BTC) and ether (ETH) both started the day trading down on Tuesday, with traditional markets still in the lurch.

The CoinDesk Market Index slipped 0.7% over the past 24 hours. Bitcoin lost 1.5%, hovering just above the $19,000 mark, and ether fell 2.3%. Stock futures fell and bonds sold off. European shares declined for a fifth straight day.

Altcoins took a larger hit, with ethereum classic (ETC) down 8.5%, NEAR down by 8% and XRP by 6%.

Crypto funds saw outflows totaling $5 million last week, fueled by sizable redemption from “short” investment products, or those designed to profit from price declines, according to data from CoinShares.

Bitcoin witnessed a fourth consecutive week of inflows totaling $12 million, while short-bitcoin investment products saw outlaws totaling a record $15 million.
