Bitcoin, Ether remain under key levels; Dogecoin reverses gains
Bitcoin was little changed during afternoon trading in Asia, trading at US$29,027 as of 4:30 p.m. in Hong Kong.
“Despite the chances of a further minor correction, higher timeframe on-chain metrics continue to signal a bull market. When Bitcoin re-ascends to a position above its Realised Price, following an extended period of staying below it, this usually signals the onset of a new bull market,” according to a Bitfinex research note shared with Forkast.
Ether fell 0.76% during afternoon trading in Asia to US$1,828 and declined 2.37% during the past week.
Litecoin was the day’s biggest loser in the top 10, falling 4.73% in the past 24 hours to US$86.11 after successfully completing its third halving event yesterday that reduced miner rewards from 12.5 to 6.25 Litecoins per block.
The XRP token was the day’s second biggest loser, falling 4.69% to US$0.6603.
The total crypto market capitalization over the past 24 hours fell 1.57% to US$1.16 trillion while market volume decreased 16.22% to US$32.85 billion, according to CoinMarketCap data.
