A minor recovery has occurred as 2019 gets underway. Markets are up a little on yesterday\u2019s levels as total capitalization approaches $130 billion again. Things seem to have settled in this range bound channel for now and a breakout is still a long way away it appears.<\/p>\n
Bitcoin made a bounce a few hours ago when it jumped from $3,700 to $3,850 where it has remained for the time being. The gain on the day is around 2% for BTC which is currently trading at around $3,830, back to New Year’s Eve levels<\/a>.<\/p>\n Ethereum is doing better with almost 7% added over the past 24 hours taking ETH back over $145. XRP conversely has only made 1.4% so its market cap is now below that of ETH allowing it to retake second spot. Ethereum has a market cap of just over $15 billion now and XRP, in third, has $14.7 billion – the flippening has happened.<\/p>\n The top ten is currently all in the green with ETH leading the way. A close second is Litecoin which has made 4% at the time of writing taking it to $32. Around 1-3 percent is being made by the rest with the exception of Bitcoin Cash and SV which haven\u2019t moved at all.<\/p>\n The top twenty\u2019s top climber is Monero which is up 5.6% taking it close to $50 once again. The acceptance of XMR by the official Fortnite merchandise store will be driving momentum. Neo, Maker and Zcash are also adding 4% at the time of writing and only Binance Coin is immobile.<\/p>\n DEX is getting a dose of fomo again as it pumps 30% during the day\u2019s Asian trading session. Buggyra Coin is also climbing over 20% at the time of writing. Losing out is Revain sliding 10% and MOAC is about to drop out of the top one hundred with a 6% fall on the day.<\/p>\n
