"The majority of cryptocurrencies experienced negative trading as a result of the eight-month high in US consumer confidence. BTC is trading in a constrained range as it works to strengthen its position and advance. BTC has retraced from the USD 16,815 mark. One should currently pay attention to the USD 17,000 level zone, as this could be a necessary condition for the return of the USD 18,000 area. Ethereum, on the other hand, kept trading above the USD 1,200 mark. ETH has recently rebounced the support at USD 1,150, indicating more buying activity at that lower levels," said Edul Patel, CEO and Co-founder, Mudrex, a global crypto investment platform.
While Chainlink, ApeCoin, Tron, and Uniswap were trading with gains today, Binance USD, Avalanche, Tether, Terra, Solana, Polygon, Stellar, XRP, Cardano, Litecoin, and Polkadot prices were trading with losses over the past 24 hours.
