1.Bitcoin is down 8% this crashing week continuing a trend of an almost 20% drop over the last two month. Earlier , the
bitcoin price hit a low for 2018 of $5,874 causing analysts to draw comparisons to 2014 when Bitcoin experienced an
80% correction. Despite the precipitous drop, analysts have remained optimistic because Mt. Gox liquidation is over
for 2018, and the impending launch of Coinbase custody which is expected to draw institutional investors to the
cryptocurrency markets.

security. The drop follows a pattern observed by analysts many times over the past year where altcoins mirror Bitcoin
with more exaggerated moves.

3.The entire coin market cap is down 11% this crashing week following a precipitous drop by EOS this week. Analysts
have blamed the fall on an overly bullish rally before the main net launch and recent criticism over EOS constitution
and how centralized it is. So far 28 or more accounts have been frozen due to phishing.
