As another week comes to an end in crypto land markets are down once again on the week. After hitting a weekly low of $242 billion markets have clawed back a little but are still very bearish.
Bitcoin is up a meager 1.3% on the day to trade at $6,280. It broke through support at $6,400 and has fallen over the past week, a dip below $6,000 could be imminent if buyers cannot be found. Ethereum is up 2% on the day but still low trading at just over $440.
Most altcoins are marginally up today following a week of heavy losses. According to Coinmarketap the top performing coin in the top 25 at the time of writing is Ontology which is up 11% on the day. Currently trading at $3.60 ONT is up from $3.21 this time yesterday but down 25% from $4.73 this time last week.

Momentum has largely come from the small rally that most altcoins are having after their lows of the week. According to their Twitter feed LianAn Technology has joined Ontology’s Co-Builder Plan as Security Specialists;
