The weekend has been largely one of consolidation for crypto markets as Bitcoin has held on to gains to keep it in five figures. Monday morning, however, has seen some bigger moves on altcoin prices as they outperform their big brother in a rare upswing.<\/p>\n

Crypto Markets Gain on Altcoins<\/h2>\n

Most of 2019 has seen the altcoins take beating after beating as their big brother surged. They are not as low as their depths in mid-December last year when doom shrouded the space, but many have not really recovered yet.<\/p>\n

Today\u2019s action is nowhere near recovery as the majority of them are still over 80 percent down from their all-time highs, but it may be a ray of hope. Total crypto market capitalization has increased by $15 billion over the past 24 hours as it chases $280 billion again.<\/p>\n

Bitcoin has made a move through resistance a few hours ago but the altcoins are also on a charge at the moment. From a low of below $185 yesterday, Ethereum has cranked 8 percent to reach the psychological $200 level once again. Crypto trader \u2018Nico\u2019 has noted the breakout adding that further longs will be likely if the $200 level can be breached.<\/p>\n

\u201cNice breakout after a short test of the 175$ level with HL sequence & a pennant (that was bearish) but ended breaking to the upside… Currently testing the ~200$ resistance level, if flipped\u00a0 into support, we can start thinking about a long setup…\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
