Market Wrap

A further five billion has been added to crypto markets over the past 24 hours as total market capitalization hits another high for the year. Bitcoin has taken a breather while the altcoins are starting to take off, one or two in particular doing very well at the moment.

Bitcoin has spent the last day or so consolidating at around $8,750. It did reach a high of around $8,900 a few hours ago but pulled back into its channel where it remains for now. Analysts are expecting a further push towards $9,600 before any correction occurs.

Ethereum has not moved over the past 24 hours and remains at $270. The uptrend is holding support and a move towards $300 could come soon.

The top ten is mostly in the green at the moment but today’s big mover is EOS which has surged 15 percent. The token has made it above $8 for the first time since July last year as momentum builds for the weekend B1 event in Washington. News that the company has bought up 3.3 million tokens worth of RAM could also be driving momentum.
