The cryptocurrency is in loss because we see a good dip on the Bitcoin because from $8200 it comes back to $6400 in just 3-4 days so there is a huge loss we see nowadays.
The people who had invested their money in cryptocurrency at the month of December of 2017 then we has been a too much of loss.takinh example of your that you had invested 8000 RS in cryptocurrency and now the price would be 3000 only remain in INR because the full run has not still started and the whole market is down.
The main reason for alter coins to go down is due to bitcoin.because Bitcoin is going so much dip that it also takes every alt coins down due to the Bitcoin goes down.There is no any trading pairs besides Bitcoin so there is no doubt that cryptocurrency couldn't go up.if there will be new trading pair rather then Bitcoin then we can see a good spike up in the crypto market.
