The market cap has reached new heights and now stands at $245 billion. A record that was very difficult to predict in the short term…
A week ago, when Bitcoin reached $7888 and soon corrected down to $5555, there were speculations that Bitcoin had reached its peak. However, as of the date of writing the update, Bitcoin stands steady above $8000, and it seems to have not yet reach its peak. Alongside the rally that continues with Bitcoin, the altcoins market seems to be gaining strength after sharp declines in recent weeks.
Will the same weakness repeat itself like it has in the past two years? November and December of last year, the altcoins were at their low levels against Bitcoin. However, it seems some of the altcoins did not yet return to the low values of the previous weeks. In fact, it shows a rising trend over time. Although we are still not in January, there could be another correction down.
The crypto market is also breaking record daily trading volumes, reaching a volume of 25 billion USD. It is possible that the rise in trading volume was due to the announcement of the CME stock exchange and subsequent forks of Bitcoin Cash and Gold.
While Bitcoin Cash has stabilized a bit this week after last week’s breaking records of trading volume, Bitcoin Gold, which started being traded in Bittrex in the past 24 hours, rose hundreds of percent’s last night, reaching $800 highs.
Alongside Bitcoin Gold, other altcoins have broken their records dollarwise. For example, DASH reached $500 and LISK reached $10. Pretty amazing!

The new player from the second fork that took place on October 24th. In the past 24 hours, trading in Bittrex was launched, which led BTG to trade in way high rates according to other markets.

Against the dollar, the story is completely different. There was a period of stability around $27-30 at the beginning of this week, from there the pump started to $48, while breaking tough resistance that was around $35. However, it seems that the Bitcoin rally stopped the momentum of Neo.
