The cryptocurrency market remains in "carnage mode," turning into a long horror movie.

Bitcoin, the leading cryptocurrency, has now slipped below the make-it-or-break-it $40,000 level for the first time since Feb. 8, currently trading at $39,576 on the Bitstamp exchange.

The implosion of the flagship coin has expectedly roiled the rest of the market. Ethereum, the second-largest cryptocurrency, is currently down over 12 percent, slipping to $2,941, its lowest level since early May.
