Crypto markets are back in the green following a day that looked like a bigger dump<\/a> was about to unfold. Markets had the jitters following the Binance BSV bashing<\/a> but they quickly recovered and $5 billion or so has returned to crypto assets pushing total capitalization back over $175 billion again.<\/p>\n Bitcoin is leading the charge as it jumps over 3 percent to reach a five day high of $5,270 before a minor retreat. The next major resistance level for BTC is at $5,400 where it hit last Thursday. A break through this will lead on to higher highs and the rest of the market is likely to follow.<\/p>\n Ethereum has mirrored the gains of its big brother with 3 percent also to reach $167. There have been no independent movements for ETH since the rally a week ago<\/a>. It is playing the digital sheep right now and copying Bitcoin.<\/p>\n The top ten is pretty much all in the green during the day\u2019s Asian trading session though gains are mixed. The top performer is Binance Coin which has added 4.5 percent to reach $19.75, a three month high. The rest have made a percent or two as BTC pulls them up.<\/p>\n The top twenty paints a similar picture with the exception of two altcoins. \u00a0Tezos is pumping ten percent as it reaches $1.16. The momentum appears to be coming from the French finance minister\u2019s public endorsement of XTZ a couple of days ago;<\/p>\n "I am thinking in particular of Tezos which allows the development of a blockchain protocol overcoming the known defects of public blockchains."@BrunoLeMaire<\/a>, France Minister of the Economy and Finance in interview to @MagazineCapital<\/a> #Tezos<\/a> $XTZ<\/a>https:\/\/t.co\/5jRz3N9MkX<\/a><\/p>\n — Tezos Announcements (@tezosbulletin) April 15, 2019<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
