The crypto market is currently experiencing some of its worst conditions in 2024. Bitcoin’s (BTC) poor performance continues as it drops below the $65k mark which means up to $7,900 of losses since this poor trend began on June 9. Major meme coins like Dogecoin (DOGE), Shiba Inu (SHIB), and Pepe Coin (PEPE) are all feeling the pinch too as they post consistently poor days. However, the great thing about the crypto market is that even during times of strife there is opportunity for those who are brave enough to seek it out.
