Cryptocurrency market update: Bulls return as Bitcoin, Ripple and Ethereum spike massively

  • Bitcoin resumes the uptrend towards $3,500.
  • Ethereum defends key support, adds 3% on the day.
  • Ripple is the biggest single-digit gainer.

The cryptocurrency market is current seeing an influx of the bulls. The gains come after at least 48 hours of declines. The market slumped massive on Monday where $7 billion was wiped off in a matter of hours.

Bitcoin plunged breaking below the support at $3,500 and formed new January 2019 lows at $3,340. Ripple dived as well below its support at $0.31 and refreshed lows marginally above $0.28. Ethereum, on the other hand, deflated dropping below the support at $120 and the one at $110.

However, the market is in the green at press time. Bitcoin is up 1.33% on the day after breaking above $3,400. The market leader is trading at $3,437. Ripple is also on an upward trajectory with gains in the excess of 8% while changing hands at $0.3122. The third largest crypto project, Ethereum has corrected higher 3% on the day. It is trading at $107 after correcting from the lows slightly above the support at $100.
