The cryptocurrency market meets Tuesday, December 18, in a somewhat elated mood. The reason for this was the steady growth of Bitcoin on Monday evening, following which the price of Bitcoin in a short period of time rose above $ 3,500 ( more than 6% in 24 hours) and further attempts to break the resistance at a small level higher.
However, the absolute leader in this segment was suddenly EOS – in the morning hours of Tuesday the price of this cryptocurrency rose above $ 2.50 – almost 30% higher than the previous day.
At the same time, the EOS capitalization exceeded $ 2.4 billion, and this is the fourth currently indicator in the ranking of the popular analytical resource CoinMarketCap.
Before that, EOS was in 8th place, thus moving Litecoin, Tether and Stellar down. Ripple (XRP) with $ 13.3 billion and Ethereum ($ 9.68 billion) continue to occupy the 2nd and 3rd places respectively.
8th and 9th place is now occupied by Bitcoin Cash and Bitcoin SV, however TRON is looking at them in the back, which closes the top ten.
We note that positive sentiment in the market over the past hours has increased the total capitalization of cryptocurrencies to $ 112.1 billion, of which 54.3% ($ 60.4 billion) are Bitcoin.
As of 10:00 UTC, the weighted average BTC rate was $ 3,500.
