Ripple continues to trend bearish, trading at $1.00 as of Monday. The remittance token has hovered near this key support level since last week, indicating muted market catalysts for a rebound and signs of seller fatigue.
Zcash (ZEC) is up 5% on Monday, erasing the 4% losses from the previous week. The privacy coin gains retail strength amid rising user adoption, with Open Interest up 6% in 24 hours as Ironwood pool shielded volume crosses 3 million ZEC tokens.
Bitcoin (BTC) trades slightly higher around $63,500 on Monday, following a slight correction the previous week, supported by improving risk sentiment and despite mild outflows from institutional demand.
The crypto market is broadly consolidating on Monday, with Bitcoin (BTC) holding above $63,000, Ethereum (ETH) approaching $1,900 and Ripple (XRP) sitting on top of the critical $1.00 support level.
