The gloom of old altcoins

Market Picture

The cryptocurrency market increased modestly by 0.35% in 24 hours to $2.53 trillion. Bitcoin rose by 0.7% in that time, Ethereum changed a little, and many altcoins came under slight pressure. 

Bitcoin continues to hang out under the resistance of the descending corridor, where a temporary balance seems to have been found, having been here for 11 days. 

Altcoins have a little more gloom. XRP, Cardano, and Litecoin are moving downwards, sticking to their 50-day moving averages for more than a week now. The market is clearly taking its time getting rid of former stars. It’s a logical process, but as applied to cryptocurrencies, it also says that we’re not yet in FOMO mode when all the names are added up.  

News background

Ethereum-ETF issuers now need S-1 document approval from the SEC to begin trading. BlackRock has filed an updated Form S-1, which disclosed information about the start-up investor. Bloomberg Erik called BlackRock’s filing a “good sign.”
