Bitcoin and other top crypto tokens faced Monday blues as Asians logged into their office. Bitcoin and Ethereum were mildly higher, while other crypto assets were slightly down. The crypto market experienced an atypical drought with remarkably low trading volumes and BTC volatility near five-year lows.
Bitcoin was trading flat, with mild gains and not changing much from the previous trading session as the largest crypto token managed to hold 29,000-mark. However, its largest peer, Ethereum, was trading on the similar line, posting muted gains but remained below $1,850-levels. Price action in the major altcoins mixed in the early hours.
Bitcoin opened the week at above $29,000, possibly driven by increased on-chain demand from new addresses. Despite the non-farm payroll report not affecting Bitcoin’s price, upcoming CPI reports from the US and China may create fluctuations. Ethereum remains steady between $1,800 and $1,850, said Edul Patel,CEO & Co-founder,Mudrex.
Barring a few exceptions, all top crypto tokens were trading lower on Monday. Shiba Inu cracked more than 5 per cent, while Bitcoin Cash dropped over 2 per cent. XRP, Dogecoin and Tron were down a per cent each. Among the gainers, Solana surged more than 2 per cent, while Polygon added about a per cent. The global cryptocurrency market cap was trading slightly higher, rising up to $1.17 trillion-mark as it fell more than half-a-per cent in the last 24 hours.
