Crypto markets recover from correction; Litecoin, BNB, Stellar and Dash going strong.
Market Wrap
Crypto markets have bounced back from the dip yesterday to the same level they traded at for the past few days. The minor dump dropped markets back to $130 billion but they have since recovered back to resistance levels again.
Bitcoin is having a tough time breaking through heavy resistance at $4,000. Two intraday highs of $3,920 were reached but BTC was unable to push past this level and has remained at just over $3,900. Volume has fallen back below $10 billion but BTC remains range bound at the moment.
Ethereum has been sliding all week, it is up on yesterday’s prices but down in general. Currently trading at $133 ETH is still ahead of Ripple’s XRP by $1.2 billion. XRP has shown similar declines and is back to $0.309.
The top ten is mostly in the green during today’s Asian trading session. Three altcoins are making most of the gains though. Litecoin has added 5% to reach $57 and increase its lead over EOS in fifth. Binance Coin is motoring yet again with a 6.5% gain to $15.4 as it chases down Bitcoin Cash in sixth spot. Stellar is the third altcoin gaining today with a 6% push to $0.104 as it is poised to flip Tether when XLM reaches $2 billion market cap.
The top twenty is all green at the moment and Dash is moving the most with a daily gain of over 11%. According to studies Dash has been one of the top three performers since initial exchange listing. Today it has topped $92 and is the best performer in the top twenty.
