Bitcoin And Ethereum Rise, Other Tokens Trade Mixed
SUMMARY
Cryptocurrencies traded mixed on Tuesday. The global crypto market cap stood at $805 billion, with a volume of $34.8 billion in the past 24 hours.
Bitcoin | The world’s largest and most popular virtual currency, Bitcoin, rose 0.1 percent to $16,722. Its market value stood at $321.6 billion. The trade volume was at $19.8 billion.
“The price of Bitcoin fell below $17,000 as it struggled to regain momentum following a volatile weekend. In order to prevent further declines, bulls must maintain support at the $16,200 to $16,500 range,” said Edul Patel, CEO and Co-Founder of Mudrex.
Ethereum | The second largest virtual currency, Ethererum or Ether, rose 1.1 percent to $1,194.6 with a market capitalisation of $145.9 billion. The trade volume of Ethereum was $5.5 billion in the last 24 hours.
On Ethereum, Patel said, “Ethereum, on the other hand, remained stable, as neither bulls nor bears had enough strength to make a significant move. Ethereum’s price could increase if it breaks above the $1,200 level.”
