Flash crash on Bitcoin leads to weekend losses for leveraged traders as markets return to green today Crypto at a glance A rough weekend for leading cryptocurrencies saw the total market cap plunge below $2 trillion on Sunday for the first time in just over a week, though a recovery overnight has seen many come charging back. Can they now pick up where they left off last week? The weekend’s antics were led by a huge fall for Bitcoin, which plunged 15 per cent in a single day yesterday to around $52,000. That represents a fall of more than $12,000 from last Wednesday’s all-time high of almost $65,000.
