Market Wrap
Crypto markets have held on to their weekend gains as Bitcoin remains buoyant. The correction that never was ended in early Sunday trading when BTC surged back towards $8,000. Today market capitalization remains close to $250 billion but a big regulatory decision due tomorrow could create some big moves soon.
Bitcoin revisited its 2019 high of $8,250 a few hours ago. BTC sharply pulled back to just above $7,900 after hitting resistance but has since regained composure and climbed back up to $8k, trading marginally higher than the same time yesterday.
Ethereum is flat and remains just above $250 where it was this time yesterday. ETH has also held on to recent gains but has not seen the doubling in price that its big brother managed since early April.
There is very little movement in the top ten at the time of writing. Only XRP and Bitcoin Cash have added a couple of percent to trade at $0.40 and $408 respectively. The rest are unchanged aside from Cardano which has pulled back marginally.
The top twenty has more red than green during Asian trading this morning. Only Dash is pumping as 10 percent takes it to $165. South Korean markets are getting the majority of Dash trade at the moment as Bithumb is top exchange. Monero has made 3 percent but the rest are in decline.
FOMO: NEXT Spikes into Top 100
Today’s fomo is going to NEXT which has entered the top one hundred with a 45 percent pump. The South Korean exchange Coinbit exchange is creating the fomo for NET. Japan Content Token is also getting a 40 percent spike as it too enters the big 100. These two relatively obscure altcoins are the only ones pumping at the moment.
At the messy end of the table is Decred dumping ten percent today. Digibyte and Crypto.com’s MCO are also sliding with a loss of over 7 percent each.
Total market capitalization is currently at $248 billion which is marginally higher than the same time yesterday. It did reach a high of $257 billion when Bitcoin hit resistance but has since pulled back slightly. There is growing concern that the imminent SEC decision for the VanEck ETF could cause prices to plummet. The regulator is due to decide on approval of the long awaited fund tomorrow but the most likely outcome is another delay.
