The weekend has been quiet in crypto land with no major gains or losses. Markets are up marginally creeping above $280 billion again but with little direction for future momentum.
Bitcoin has moved back towards its resistance level of $7,400, pushing slightly above it with a 1.7% gain to $7,450. If buyers continue throughout the day there could be another rally up towards $8k. Ethereum has been sluggish over the past few days with minor gains keeping it just above $465.
Altcoins are all in the green at the moment with Stellar leading the top ten pack regaining 7% on the day. XLM is currently trading at $0.295 according to CMC, it surpassed Litecoin to take sixth place in the charts last week. Since last Sunday Stellar has gained 27% from $0.214, against Bitcoin it is up 5.3% on the day to 3970 satoshis.
Cardano has regained just over 4% while the other altcoins in the top ten are showing 2-3% gains. Looking at the top twenty Tezos is the biggest mover with 4.5% on the day to trade at $2.22. The rest have made marginal upward movements but none are standing out. Decentralized exchange protocol 0x is making moves at the moment with a 7.5% climb to $1.18.
Today’s clear leader however is Bitcoin Diamond which has surged a whopping 60% in 24 hours. The spike happened a few hours ago propelling this Bitcoin offshoot to $4.70 from $2.27 in ten minutes. It has since pulled back to $3.55 which is a 64% jump from this time last weekend.
The BCD spike came from a HitBTC listing and subsequent Reuters, Nasdaq and Yahoo Finance coverage;
