The price movements of digital assets, within the past 24 hours have been a mixture of bullish, and bearish momentum. Action in the markets saw “Dogecoin Killer” Shiba Inu ($SHIB,) continuing its upward momentum, while the – lesser known – Pig Finance Token, stole $SHIB’s thunder with an over 600% price rally.
Monday, the 10th of May saw crypto markets showing a mixture of green and red. Probably influenced by the largest cryptocurrency, by market capitalization, Bitcoin’s ($BTC) uncertain price action. The digital asset market’s progenitor asset – still working it’s way out of an upward triangle- started the day at a $58,463 price high, just shy of the $58,850 mark. Failing to reach the $60.3k resistance level, the digital asset buckled to a daily low of $53,305.
Bitcoin had bounced back to a, slightly stronger, $55,265 (at time of writing.) Bitcoin doesn’t seem too intent on bullish action in the next week, or so, as the progenitor crypto asset’s Stochastic RSI is currently flashing bearish divergence. Ethereum ($ETH), on the other hand, currently looks uncertain of where it may go next.
Having – about – doubled, its value in the past 20 days, ETH opened the day at $4,155, to reach a daily high of $4,205 (by press time.) The blockchain-powered financial operating system’s lead token dropped a low of $3,932 during the trading day, and was last cruising upwards, at the $3,939 price level. The token seemed to be looking to close the day, having formed a bearish pinbar.
Mainstream Crypto
Coming out of a weekend rally – on the back of speculative hype and bumper exchange listings – the upcoming Shibaswap, Defi platform’s native token, Shiba Inu or $SHIB experienced a further +100% rally, to lead gains experienced by Centralized Exchange (CEX) listed digital assets.
