The price action occurred amid a weak session for cryptocurrencies with bitcoin on the verge of breaking below $120,000. The broad market CoinDesk 20 Index was down more than 4% during the day.
The technical picture shows bearish momentum for the DeFi major, CoinDesk Research's analysis model suggested.
