Which cryptos are witnessing a rally in their prices?

Most of the major coins are trading higher and witnessing a climb in their prices.

Bitcoin, the numero uno digital token, has surpassed the US$47,000-mark once again and is currently trading at US$49,502.76, with nearly a 1.3% rise over the past week. This upward rally in its prices is bolstered by a price push during the Asian trading hours, in spite of the US market being dormant during the Christmas holidays.

The second-largest coin, Ethereum, crossed the 4,000 mark and is priced at US$4,069.27 at the time of writing.

What's cooking up in the global crypto market space?

Moreover, the volume of all stable coins rose by 79.33% and amounted to US$75.89 billion.

Bottom Line

Though the cryptocurrency market is witnessing positive signs as of now, the fear of volatility continues to haunt individuals. Hence, a thorough analysis is required before considering these ever-fluctuating virtual currencies.
