As opposed to the market frenzy we witnessed during the start of last week, all the major cryptocurrencies have been quiet today, posting minor declines across the industry. We will take a look at the price movements over the last 24 hours for the most traded coins, and try to anticipate what’s to come later this week.

BTC: 63,988.30 (-2.33% last 24h)

Instead of making a push for the desired 70k mark that all bullish investors want to see, BTC has stagnated in its market cap growth and dropped down to just below $64,000. Looking forward, it seems like pure market speculation and positive sentiment would not be enough to push BTC past the $70,000 ceiling, and would require major economic news that provide investors with even more incentives to purchase BTC as a part of their portfolio.

ETH: $4,580.05 (-0.99% last 24h)

Ethereum’s prices have followed behind the footsteps of BTC, failing to challenge the $5,000 price level and instead dropping to just below $4,600. As opposed to BTC, however, ETH has clear ways of scaling beyond its current capabilities, and thus ETH should continue to push for the $5,000 mark before the end of this year.

LTC: $264.5 (-5.29% last 24h)

Captured in yesterday’s article, a slowdown in LTC’s rally this week was expected, and it reflected in the price changes today, down over 5% in the last 24 hours, by far the biggest drop out of the cryptocurrencies in the top 20 market capitalization.
