Cryptocurrency prices fell on Monday as the virtual coin market witnesses high levels of volatility. Cryptocurrency prices fell over the weekend as trading volumes remained low.

Bitcoin, the worlds most popular cryptocurrency, was trading at $44,445.58 or 3.51 per cent lower than its value 24 hours ago at 3 pm. Its market capitalisation has fallen to 836.20 billion and the 24-hour trading volume stands at 749.17 million.

Ether also dropped sharply by over 6 per cent and was trading at $3,209.23. The market capitalisation has come down to $376.18 billion and trading volume stands at 941.67 million.

Most of the other altcoins are also trading in negative territory after falling sharply amid high volatility. Most of the altcoins have fallen nearly 5 per cent after overshadowing Bitcoin for the past few sessions.

Commenting on the weakness, Edul Patel, CEO and Co-founder of Mudrex, a global algorithm based crypto trading platform, said, Bitcoin broke below the support level at $45,000, giving bears a perfect opportunity to enter the markets again.

The largest altcoin, Ether, dropped below the $3300 level. The crypto market remained shaky, with most of the altcoins tanking over the past 24 hours. However, Polkadot moved more than 13 per cent higher, driven by huge demand, he added.
