The collective cryptocurrency market appeared to be in a consolidation phase. The market cap was registered at a whopping $373 billion, a level unseen since May 2018. While Bitcoin has faced multiple rejections at the coveted $12k-level, several altcoins have, however, sprung up in action.
Joining the bandwagon are coins such as Chainlink [LINK], Litecoin [LTC], and EOS, which have witnessed a substantial rise in their values over the last 24-hours.
Chainlink [LINK]
Chainlink has been in the spotlight for quite some time now and has been one of the best-performing assets among the top coins. As the weekend dawned, LINK soared to a new all-time high. Meanwhile, it recorded a surge of 13.21% over the last 24-hours which catapulted its value to $18.93 at the time of writing.
Moreover, it registered a market cap of $6.64 billion along with a 24-hour trading volume of $2.538 billion.
As the fifth-largest altcoin continued to build on gains, the green closing bars of Awesome Oscillator indicated a positive course for the coin’s price in the near-term. Further exhibiting a bullish trend was the Chaikin Money Flow indicator as it hovered in the bullish territory.
Litecoin [LTC]
Over the past year, Litecoin fell to the eighth position. After subsequent downfalls, LTC appeared to be slowly moving ahead and targeted a local top. At press time, the cryptocurrency noted a market cap of $4 billion with a 24-hour trading volume at $3.28 billion. LTC was being traded at $61.41 and was up by 6.91%.
The indicators failed to back up the latest surge in the coin’s valuation. This was evidenced by the bearish Klinger Oscillator. After a brief tryst with the bears, the MACD appeared to be heading for a bullish crossover.
EOS
Despite not much significant developments on the tech side, EOS was the second-best performing asset in the last 24-hours among the top 20 coins, trailing behind LINK. It was up by 11.12% over the last 24-hours which drove its price to $3.75, at the time of writing. Furthermore, EOS recorded a trading volume of $5.12 billion over the past day while its market cap stood at $3.50 billion.
The dotted markers of Parabolic SAR hovering below the EOS candles depicted a bullish phase for the tenth-largest coin. Following the latest upsurge, the Relative Strength Index [RSI] shot up to the overbought region. This could essentially lead to a decline in demand among the traders of the coin with a subsequent decline in its price in the near future.
