In the last two days, the crypto market has been erratic, with the price of many altcoins, including Bitcoin (BTC), battling for survival after the news came out that Binance would not be taking over FTX after conducting due diligence. Previous weeks saw the price of Bitcoin (BTC) perform well, rallying from a low of $19,200 to a high of $21,800. Most altcoins trend higher as many produced gains of over 200%, including DOGE rallying from a region of $0.55 to a high of $0.15, with many hoping for more recovery bounce. Still, these expectations were cut short by the uncertainty surrounding the crypto market. (Data from Binance)

The new week has yet to look like the previous as the week has looked choked with FUD (Fear of uncertainty and doubt), leading to many altcoins being affected negatively in price as major coins have been struggling to stay afloat from what looks like a crypto purge.
The news of Binance rescuing the situation by taking over FTX was good. Still, after conducting their due diligence, Binance decided it would not take over FTX as this has affected the market negatively, sending the price of BTC on a spiral movement to $15,700 after losing its all-time support of 2017 at $18,500.
The price of BTC has continued to look bearish after breaking below its all-time high support, which has served as support as a good demand zone for major plays holding off sell-offs. According to speculations, there are more chances of the price revisiting $14,000.
