Despite a slight decline, Bitcoin remained above the $20,000 level, indicating that the selling volume has come down. BTC will likely trade sideways between $20,000 and $21,000 in the coming days. The second largest cryptocurrency, Ethereum, has outperformed the market by gaining 17 percent over the previous week. Ethereum has traded at the $1,355 level for the first time in a month on Saturday as Merge draws nearer.\u201d<\/p>\n Commenting on the crypto market scenario, Sathvik Vishwanath, CEO and Co-Founder of crypto exchange Unocoin told ABP Live, \u201cThe recovery started on Friday continued over the weekend making the crypto market capitalisation about 6 percent stronger. While most of this gain was obtained during the latter half of Friday and Saturday, Sunday was only successful in keeping the stability in the market. The coins focussed on decentralised exchanges and decentralised metaverse saw a steep increase on Sunday and most of the other prominent crypto assets did not see any price action on Sunday.\u201d<\/p>\n Tushar Gandotra, Founder and CEO of crypto exchange FiEx, told ABP Live, \u201cIt looks like Ethereum is leading the upward trend. Good support is being shown in the market. BTC is inching towards $23,000 mark. In the short term, the trend has changed. Overall volume is increasing which is a good sign.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Disclaimer:<\/strong> Crypto products and NFTs are unregulated and can be highly risky.
