Crypto’s Excruciating Week Has Traders Bracing for Next Crisis 

As the dust settled at the end of the week, the damage was startling. Bitcoin has fallen for 11 straight days, its longest ever sustained slump. It’s currently hovering above the $20,000 level, a loss of more than 70% from its highs in November when it was approaching $70,000. Ether is struggling to hold above $1,000, having sold for as much as $4,866 seven months ago. What was once a more than $3 trillion industry is now a less-than $1 trillion industry.
