“Immediate resistance of US$40,000 can stall the current price bounce. The second-largest cryptocurrency, Ethereum, is currently trading at the US$2,700 level. According to the market cap, major cryptocurrencies fell due to the war crisis between Russia and Ukraine. The situation is creating tension among crypto traders.
