Bitcoin licks its wounds while Solana leads the altcoin charge
ONLY THREE WEEKS TO GO…
Take advantage of our early bird offers for the Crypto AM Summit and Awards.
Crypto at a glance
Bitcoin looks to have shaken off the injuries sustained in Tuesday’s dramatic fall, as it gingerly peels itself off the ground at $46,000.
The flagship cryptocurrency is operating barely one per cent up over the last 24 hours, although a glance at the low trading volume smacks of sideways movement and a period of consolidation as it licks its wounds.
The action appears to be elsewhere, as altcoins look keen to take advantage of Bitcoin’s convalescence.
Front of the queue is the remarkable Solana, which is fast becoming a fan favourite with its wild upward leaps – it’s currently enjoying close to a 30 per cent lift and impressive volumes.
Cardano, Matic, Polkadot and Filecoin are also getting in on the act with generous gains from the last two days.
Meanwhile, evergreen Ethereum looks to be rebuilding as it overcomes the week’s downturn to find ground at $3,480 again.
It’s been a brutal few days in crypto, but the green lights are coming on again. Is the week going to end better than it began?
Meanwhile…
So major fun for me tomorrow – I’m making my on-screen debut in the British SciFi thriller ‘SLAMMER’ which is now ‘in the can’ and ready for the cast and crew viewing at the Odeon Leicester Square.
