Friday turned out to be a historic day for the crypto market as BTC/USD crossed $10,000 for the first time since March 2018. Along with Bitcoin, the rest of the crypto market managed to pull their weight as well. Let’s take a look at how the top three did and then reveal the biggest winners of the day, among the top 20 coins.
Top three coins
- Bitcoin (BTC): The price has gone up from $9,535 to $10,225 this Friday. In the early hours of Saturday, the price has gone down to $10,125 as investors are selling off their bitcoins to net profits. It is critical for the bulls that the $10,000-level can be sustained through this selling pressure.
- Ethereum (ETH): ETH/USD has gone up from $272.25 to $296 charting an 8.72% increase in price. The bulls will want to have enough momentum to take the price past $300 by the end of this Saturday. It is currently trading for $297.20.
- Ripple (XRP): XRP/USD went up from $0.43 to $0.445 this Friday. The price has gone up further to $0.446 in the early hours of Saturday.
