Top three coins performance
- BTC/USD went up from $6,155 to $6,353 this Friday. The bulls managed to put the price up to $6,410, breaching past the $6,400-level before the bears pulled it down to $6,293 in a 2 hour 15 min period. The bulls soon pulled it back up again to $6,353.
- ETH/USD went up from $171 to $172.65. The bulls had managed to reach $176 before a 45-min bearish rally took the price down to $171.50.
- XRP/USD bulls and bears are wrestling around the $0.30 level. The price went up from $0.295 to $0.298 and reached a high of $0.303. Since reaching that high, XRP/USD has been trending horizontally with bulls and bears canceling each other out.
