The prices of the top assets are located in their previous positions, or some of them have even declined. The same situation is applied to the total market capitalization, which has frozen at around $286 bln.
BTC/USD
The leading cryptocurrency is still in the uptrend, as long as its quotes are located above the psychological $9,000 mark.
Our earlier Bitcoin forecast came true, as its price rocketed above $9,000 where it keeps located now. Analyzing the future rate of the world’s top cryptocurrency, BTC is likely to face a minor correction before conquering $10,000.
