Mr Perera puts this down to a fast rise in the market.
“We had quite a feverish run up through Christmas and the early part of January. I think some part of it is we’re having a correction from that.
“That’s been exasperated by a number of news items like China and Facebook banning crypto ads.
“I guess the fear machine has been doing its work.”
