FOMO Moments<\/a><\/h2>\n
Crypto markets immobile on Sunday; Litecoin leading, Cardano recovering.<\/h5>\n

There has been another slight pullback on crypto markets this Sunday as a range bound channel starts to form. Market capitalization has remained over $130 billion but only just, there has been very little movement over the weekend.<\/p>\n

Bitcoin has retreated another percent or so on the day as it falls back to $3,830. It reached an intraday high of $3,900 but could not break resistance there and fell further back. Daily volume is just below $5 billion as Bitcoin continues to consolidate.<\/p>\n

Ethereum has lost some of its recent gains by dropping 3.5% on the day and falling back below $155. ETH is still around $1.5 billion in market cap ahead of third placed XRP though which has remained at the same level over the past 24 hours.<\/p>\n

The top ten altcoins are pretty much all in the red except one. Litecoin is making a rare recovery while those around it have fallen slightly. LTC is currently up 7% on the day taking it over $35, as daily volume jumps from $400 million to $700 million. Market cap is now over $2 billion and rapidly closing in on Stellar which is only marginally ahead at the time of writing. The momentum comes a couple of days after OKEx announced a perpetual swap feature for LTC and ETH, additionally the Litecoin Lightning Network has just reached the 100 active node milestone;<\/p>\n

The Litecoin Lightning Network has just surpassed 100 Active Nodes \u26a1\ufe0f#Litecoin<\/a> #ltc<\/a> #crypto<\/a> #cryptocurrency<\/a> #blockchain<\/a>https:\/\/t.co\/nxRVeH61MP<\/a><\/p>\n
