What Changed in Crypto Markets While You Were Sleeping — March 30
2 min readBeInCrypto presents our daily morning roundup of crypto news and market changes that you might have missed while you were asleep.
BTC (BTC) Update
BTC (BTC) managed to close a 3.3% candle on March 29. It’s continuing to climb during early trading hours today adding another 1% to trade at $58,138.
At the moment, BTC is a critical confluence of resistance levels. There is a horizontal resistance made up of the range highs as well as an ascending line from a channel that BTC slipped out of on March 22.
If BTC can break through these resistances and reclaim the ascending channel, it’s likely to move above the current all-time high of $61,300.
Altcoin Movers
The top-10 cryptocurrencies by market cap saw no shift in rank over the past day. However, Cardano (ADA) is creeping back up to close in on Tether (USDT). ADA is less than $2 billion in market cap away from reclaiming the #4 spot.
Holo (HOT) has been on a tear in the past 24 hours. CoinMarketCap is reporting that the token is up nearly 60% on the day. Since the beginning of 2021, HOT has gained a massive 2,700%
AscendX (BTMX) was yesterday’s big loser and is continuing the trend today. BTMX is down another 24% on the day to trade at just under $1.60.
