BTC/USD remains trading around $9,700 after some volatility today that took the digital asset down to $9,500 before recovering almost instantly.
ETH/USD is in a similar situation and also saw a significant crash to $238 but it’s now trading above $242 and continues defending the daily 12-EMA.
XRP/USD is still flat and trading above $0.20 but has lost the 12-EMA and the 26-EMA on its daily chart.

Kyber Network makes its way into our list again with a 13.4% price surge following up yesterday’s bull break.
