Crypto Market Showing Valuable Uptrend, but Derivative Volumes Drop

02. Apr 2021 Posted by WorldCoinIndex on Derivatives report

During the last couple of weeks, the cryptocurrency market has shown significant volatility, albeit most price moves point towards a long-term uptrend, which is a desiderate for most traders worldwide.

Such is the case with the previous week as well, since high-cap coins like Bitcoin, Ethereum, Filecoin, EOS, and BNB have all seen significant percentage growth in light of positive industry news and an ever-growing inflow of capital into the cryptocurrency market.

In the case of bitcoin, a price peak of $60,000 was reported this week, although the coin is now trading at $59,618, a slightly lower price.

ETH is currently trading at $1,997, BNB at $350, Filecoin at $199, EOS at $5.69, DOT at $38, and DOGE at $0.059.

The total cryptocurrency market cap is currently reported at over $1.75 trillion.
