Bitcoin stable at $10,500
In today’s news in the cryptocurrency market we witness coins held on to the gains made at the beginning of the week. Legacy Bitcoin was stable at the $10,500 mark with turnover increasing considerably over the past few days. This stability could mean that a push over the $11,000 mark could be just around the corner although there are still levels of resistance to be broken.
Most coins in static mode
Ethereum also held on to the $175-180 mark on rather low turnover and also looked poised to make a move upwards. The second largest cryptocurrency by market cap was trading at around $178 at press time on Wednesday morning. Ripple was stuck at around $0.26 at press time with very little movement either way and this currency seems to have found a bottom at this level.

BCH and LTC on the rise
Bitcoin Cash flirted with the $300 level and was trading at around $298 at press time. EOS was static at the $3.35 point whilst Ethereum Classic continued to outperform other coins when it traded at the $6.80 mark at press time or a rise of 6% over the past 48 hours. Litecoin also continued rising where it settled at around $68 at press time on Wednesday although the rewards halving at the end of August did not have a notable effect on the price.
Stellar and BNB in decline
There were some outliers which saw declines such as XLM (Stellar Lumens) which was down by around 1% and LINK which dropped a massive 85 to the $1.77 level. Privacy coins such as XMR (Monero), ZEC and DASH also saw modest rises. The latter held just above the $80 mark whilst ZCASH was basically static at $45. Binance Coin saw a decline after its much publicized announcement and dropped by around 4% to the $21.80 level. IOTA was also down around 3% to under the $0.25 level.
Osprey FX users would do well to keep their eyes peeled on possible pumps in the market with several coins now overbought. BTC/ETH and BTC/LTC pairs are also interesting although price movements have been slow of late. This rounds up our cryptocurrency news for today.
