Monero, Decred record corrections after rally, but Augur’s pullback is bad fortune
The crypto-market, at the time of writing, was going through a broad period of corrections. However, unlike the corrections on 13 March, these were more controlled in nature. Monero and Decred recorded a depreciation following a 48-hour rally, whereas Augur fell after a period of sideways movement.
