More sideways action as we end the week in crypto land. Markets have lost a little today wiping out their minor gains yesterday. Total market cap has fallen marginally to just over $340 billion. There is red across the boards and all cryptos are sinking once again. Bitcoin has lost a fraction of a percent and is trading around $7,650 while Ethereum is down 1.7% to a touch over $600. All altcoins with the exception of one or two are in the red as we enter what could be another bearish weekend. Only one or two are showing positive momentum at the moment and the leading coin at the time of writing is Siacoin.
According to CMC Siacoin is on a pump at the moment, up 9% on the while while all other altcoins have fallen. Currently trading at $0.018 SC is up from $0.016 this time yesterday and is the only coin in the green in the top 30. Over the past week Siacoin has made 18% from a level of $0.015 this time last Friday. The past month has seen a fall however of 33% from $0.026 this time last month. Against Bitcoin SC has made a gain of 10% on the day to 232 satoshis from 209 sats this time yesterday. Weekly gains against BTC have been around 14% from just over 200 satoshis the same time last Friday.
