Market Overview

The crypto market capitalisation has risen by 1.4% over the past 24 hours and by roughly the same amount over the past 7 days, reaching $2.64T. At its peak at the start of the day, the market reached $2.67T, a level last seen in early February. A slow but steady recovery has been observed since early April, recouping half of the losses incurred during the just over one-week slump that began in late January.

Over the past 24 hours, the leaders have been Dash (+30%), Basic Attention Token (+10.2%) and Zcash (+7.8%). Even the laggards are showing gains: TRUMP (+0.1%), Algorand (+0.6%) and Near (+0.5%).

The rising price and the downward-sloping 200-day moving average are actively converging with an important long-term trend line at $83.6K. Consolidation above this level could further encourage traders, but we would prefer to see consolidation above $85K first, the former support zone from November to January.
