Bitcoin, once again, shocked the world last weekend when it surged with 42% in less than 24 hours. However, with that event behind our backs, Bitcoin’s volatility has been declining.
After touching $10,350 last week, the price corrected and is currently around $9,200. It appears that the cryptocurrency is locked in a fairly tight range, and we haven’t seen any notable price movements during the week. This is precisely why it might be the case that Bitcoin is, once again, setting the stage for a big move.
It’s worth noting that Bitcoin’s price is slightly above the significant 200-days moving average line, as Cryptopotato reported. However, it’s also worth noting that the MA line is creeping up slowly, which suggests that the current price levels are relatively fragile for a chance of a break-down of the significant moving average line.

Significant Daily Gainers and Losers
ILCoin (+71%)
ILCoin is up 71% in the past 24 hours alone. The gains are not only against the USD but against Bitcoin as well, where the cryptocurrency managed to increase by 69%. Its current market cap sits at $44 million. It’s worth noting that on November 12th, ILCoin will be suspending deposits and withdrawals on all exchanges until it updates its source code.
KAVA (+25%)
KAVA is another cryptocurrency that has been on a positive run throughout the past 24 hours. It’s up around 25% against the USD and more than 27% against Bitcoin. The project recently had its IEO on Binance Launchpad. However, perhaps more importantly, it’s going to launch its mainnet on November 5th. This could be part of the reasons for which the cryptocurrency is surging.
Algorand (-6%)
Algorand is the cryptocurrency that lost the most value over the last day from the top 100 list. It’s down 6 percent against the USD and 5% against Bitcoin. Its total market capitalization is currently around $108 million. Most of the trading volume during today’s session is coming from HotBit.
