Altcoins are still reeling from Tuesday’s painful correction, which saw double-digit losses. Bitcoin SV (BSV) took the lead with a massive hit of up to 34%, while several other major altcoins were recording multi-month lows.

Yesterday’s markets calmed down and seemingly entered another consolidation phase. However, today’s prices show us a more dire picture, with altcoins finding themselves in another downward price spiral.

The 10th most popular coin, Stellar (XLM), is the only exception that managed to show green candlesticks. XLM is currently trading at $0.058 per coin, with a 24-hour gain of more than 3% at publishing time.

The overall cryptocurrency market cap sits at $213.5 billion, with Bitcoin making up 68.2% of the total.
