The cryptocurrency market is under severe selling pressure as of now after failing to sustain its bullish momentum.

Solana (SOL), Avalanche (AVAX) and Ethereum (ETH) have taken the biggest losses, plunging by more than 6%.
Bitcoin, the world’s leading cryptocurrency, slipped to $41,077, the lowest level on Feb. 28.
The cryptocurrency is now down almost 10% in less than three days, putting bears back in the driver’s seat.
Bitcoin tanked to $34,324 on Feb. 24, hitting a one-month low. However, it then managed to stage impressive price recovery and ended up reclaiming the $45,000 level for the first time.
Meme coins, such as Shiba Inu and Dogecoin, are also down more than 3%.
