Crypto markets have hit a new 2019 high; Bitcoin dominating, ETH, BNB and XMR moving, LEO enters top twenty.\u00a0<\/strong><\/h5>\n

Market Wrap<\/a><\/h2>\n

It has been another fruitful Friday in crypto land. Markets have hit a new high for the year and as usual it is Bitcoin driving them. A total market cap top of $300 billion was touched a few hours ago as BTC broke through resistance once again surging to a new 13 month high.<\/p>\n

The move came a few hours ago during early Asian trading. This time it wasn\u2019t a \u2018Bart type spike\u2019 but a gradual grind up<\/a> through the resistance at $9,600 and on towards an intraday high of $9,800. Since then gains have mostly held as Bitcoin remained around $9,700 with plenty of talk about a further move to $10k today or over the weekend.<\/p>\n

Ethereum also got a boost this time as a 4 percent climb lifted it to $280. In comparison however ETH is still way down, over 80 percent of ATH compared to BTC which is now close to 50 percent. There is no doubt that Ethereum will crack $300 and make bigger gains when altseason kicks in but at the moment the going is slow.<\/p>\n

Altcoin Outlook<\/h2>\n

The crypto top ten has not reacted with the usual fervor and aside from Binance Coin adding 6 percent nothing else has really moved much. There is a little green with Bitcoin Cash and EOS adding 2 percent each but others such as BSV are falling back. \u00a0There has been no movement on XRP<\/a>, LTC and XLM.<\/p>\n

The top twenty is equally lethargic aside from Monero which is still climbing with a further 6 percent today to reach $108. The Bitfinex transparency initiative UNUS SED LEO<\/a> has arrived on the scene as CMC has just registered a market cap of $1.8 billion<\/a> jumping it straight into 14th<\/sup> place above Dash. LEO tokens were trading at $1.84 at the time of writing. The rest of the altcoins are up a percent or flat at the moment.<\/p>\n

FOMO: Egretia Climbing Higher<\/h2>\n

Today\u2019s top performing crypto top one hundred altcoin is Egretia again as entertainments based token surges 24 percent. A listing in Singapore\u2019s BiUP exchange may have driven some of the momentum for EGT as the team rejoices.<\/p>\n
