Markets are still flat showing no sign of recovery; Monero, Iota and Bitcoin Gold making small gains.
The weekend situation on crypto markets remains grim. There has been no recovery from an epic dump down to a new yearly low yesterday as total market capitalization is still around $140 billion.
Bitcoin has clawed back a couple of percent on the day to take it to $4,360 after dumping to a new low of $4,195 yesterday. The predictions are not pretty however and many expect BTC to drop to $3,000 in the coming months. Ethereum has made no recovery and is still at its lowest level for 18 months, trading at $125.
Altcoins are largely green today as they small gains from a huge loss over the week. In the top ten Monero is making the most headway as it adds 4% to take it to $66, Bitcoin Cash has also managed to pull 3% back on the day. The rest are up a percent or two aside from XRP which hasn’t moved.
There are a couple of movers in the top twenty right now, Iota is adding 6% but it is still at a very low level of $0.322. Bitcoin Gold has made it to $20 with an 8% gain on the day and Neo has made almost 5% back. These gains are very insignificant however as most altcoins have lost as much as 40% over the past week or so.
