As per CoinMarketCap data, here are the top five crypto gainers over the past 24 hours:<\/p>\n

Despite the decline, over the past week, BTC remained above its crucial support level at $20,000. A move above the current level today can result in BTC bouncing back to the $22,000 level. On the other hand, Ethereum is currently between its support at $1,500 and resistance at $1,655. It has still not accumulated enough strength to make a sharp move on either side. So, we may likely see ETH trading sideways for the coming few days.\u201d<\/p>\n Sathvik Vishwanath, CEO and co-founder of Unocoin told ABP Live, \u201cThe weekend was very bearish for crypto markets globally. Friday and Saturday shared a massive drop of up to 12 percent in popular crypto prices. This has dropped the price to the lowest of the entire August month. Sunday stabilised the prices but failed to turn it any bullish. Given the order books on popular international exchanges on the buy-side is thin, we cannot expect a turnaround in less than a few days.\u201d<\/p>\n weTrade founder Prashant Kumar told ABP Live, “Bitcoin continues to trade at approximately $21,500. Late last week, we saw a decline in Bitcoin along with a sudden sell-off. However, the overall volumes were high and the drop seems to have plateaued off indicating consolidation. The last month has seen Bitcoin perform better than it has in the past and such changes are a part of the bull and bear cycle. Coins like Bitcoin and Ethereum have been showing strong linkages with NASDAQ-listed technology stocks. Stocks of some of the largest companies in the US have shown a decline and Bitcoin has shown similar patterns.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Disclaimer:<\/strong> Crypto products and NFTs are unregulated and can be highly risky.
