Well, lets start out with the giant: BTC this behemoth is down 5.89% WITH $500-$600 swings in price which for BTC is the norm, its market cap is staying strong at $168.2B and a 24hr trading volume of $14.4B. Todays sell off started around 1 pm with a $100 drop which turned into a steady loss throughout the day.

#2  on the market is Ethereum which is down 6.65% with a $20 price loss throughout the day, it has a strong market cap of $25.2B with a 24HR trading volume of $6.0B. This is a coin to be on the look out for and if it is not in your portfolio now then tonight is a goodnight to stock up on some cheaper ETH. This coin could skyrocket at anytime and you could miss out on a solid investment.

#3 on the market is Tether (USDT) there really is not much to discuss on this coin.  A market cap of $8.8B and a 24HR trading volume of $19.7B

#4 on the market is Ripple, she isnt fairing any better than the rest its currently down 6.15% with 2 cent swings in price. It has a market cap of $8.2B and a 24HR trading volume of $596.4M. I believe now is a good time to jump in and score some XRP at a discounted price, i dont see XRP going to a crazy price this year, it is a good long term investment.

#5 on the market is Bitcoin Cash (BCH) just like #4 on the list its not doing any better than the rest its currently down 8% with $20 swings in price. BCH has a solid market cap of $4.3B and a 24HR trading volume of $1.1B This coin is a good investment for the future as well, i personally do not hold much of this coin, but its good to add for diversification.
