Ethereum: Ethereum’s price fell 1.77 per cent to $1,333.41 in the last 24 hours to Saturday morning.
Like BTC, ETH too came crashing down from $1,356 price levels to around $1,329 price levels sometime around 6 pm on October 8. However, around 8.29 pm, there was an unsuccessful attempt by ETH buyers to lift its price and at that moment the price managed to recover to $1,345 levels too. But ultimately ETH succumbed to high selling pressure and as a result its price fell even lower.
