Bitcoin’s Slow and Steady Rise
Bitcoin (BTC), the renowned digital gold, started off today’s session on a hopeful note. The BTC price has seen an increase of 0.5%, reaching $30,431. This mild surge has given bulls the impetus to push for the elusive $31K mark.
The trading volume of Bitcoin also saw an uptick, with a 10% increase within 24 hours, amounting to $17B. This led to its market cap soaring to $591B.
Looking at the BTC 1-day chart source: TradingView, one can observe that the relative strength indicator is inching closer to the overbought region – a clear indication that bulls are ruling the roost in Bitcoin’s network.
Ethereum and ADA Struggle
However, not all cryptocurrencies shared Bitcoin’s luck today. Ethereum (ETH) had a rather lackluster start to its trading session, recording a minor decrease of 0.26%. This brought down ETH price to $1863 at press time.
The trading volume of Ethereum also took a hit, recording a drop by 5% which amounts to $8B in total. Consequently, ETH’s market cap currently stands at $224B.
ADA followed suit with Ethereum and had an uneventful day as well. However, it did manage to record an increase in its trading volume by 2%, taking it up to $239M while its asset price remains at $0.2789.
COMP Emerges as Today’s Star
In contrast, COMP stole the show today by maintaining steady trade at $42.7 per token. Its trading volume stood strong at 108M while its market cap reached an impressive 327M.
Storj was another noteworthy performer today with an increase of 1.5% within just one day of trading, taking its asset price up to $0.272.
