Speaking on the performance of the top cryptocurrency, ZebPay Trade Desk said, “Bitcoin (BTC) has been fairly range-bound over the last couple of days, trading between $45,000 — $48,000. This seems to be a consolidating phase that the asset is operating in, and the bears are preventing the asset from crossing the $48,000 mark convincingly, making this a strong psychological resistance level for BTC.”

Apart from these, Dogecoin and SHIBA INU, the so-called ‘meme coins’, have garnered a lot of interest and attention over the past couple of months thanks to Tesla CEO and billionaire, Elon Musk. This all started when Musk took to Twitter to announce the arrival of his new Shiba Inu puppy that he named Floki.

This saw Dogecoin reach all the way to 9th place amongst the top crypto coins in the market. As of today it once again slipped down one space though and stood at a price of $0.2159 and was trading at 9.69 per cent down over the course of the past 24 hours.
