Cryptocurrency market calmed down, new range ahead?

All major altcoins are hibernating in narrow ranges. Once again.
NEO is the worst performer of the day so far.

Tanya Abrosimova Independent Analyst

Cryptocurrency market has calmed down after a volatile start of the week. Most major coins are drifting in a new range as volatility has faded away once again. Total market capitalization has settled at $203B.

Bitcoin is changing hands at $6,264, unchanged both on a daily basis and since the beginning of Tuesday. The rangebound trading is likely to prevail as long as $6,200 remains unbroken.

Ethereum stays below $200, but the downside momentum is waning. The second largest coin with a market cap at $20.3B is changing hands at $196, unchanged in recent 24 hours.

Ripple's XRP is trading at $0.4459 at the time of writing within a bearish short-term trend. The price stays below DMA50 for the second day in a row, implying that more sell-off may be in store.

TOP-20 leaders and outsiders of the recent 24 hours

Dash and NEM are the best performers of top-20 cryptocurrencies with 2% and 2.5% of gains respectively.
NEO is down 1.5%, which makes the coin a loser of the day.
