According to CoinMarketŠ”ap, on the morning of February 18, the rates of cryptocurrency do not stop rising. At the same time, the total market capitalization is $126.2 billion.
Bitcoin continues to grow in price - over the past day it has risen in price by another 2.93% to 3.752 thousand dollars. Cryptocurrency capitalization is $65.8 billion.
The second cryptocurrency Ethereum increased in price by 10.68% per day. With the capitalization of $14.5 billion, its rate is $137.82.
Judging by the Ethereum schedule of movement, the aggressive trend will be maintained until the Constantinople hard fork.
The ETH network software update will take place at the end of February, even the recently discovered vulnerability in the fork course will not allow to refuse the planned improvement of the platform operation.
On some trading platforms, Ethereum price went up to $141. This reason gives grounds for the forecast that the coin will be able to break the $150 shock mark already today.
Most analysts agree that today's growth may continue for about a day, and then purchases will begin to run out of steam. Therefore, even in case Ethereum breaks through the $150 mark, it is unlikely that it will stay at this level and, most likely, will squeeze as part of the negative correction towards the end of this week. Time will show how things develop.
Due to the growth of its rate over the past few days, Ethereum could rise in the ranking of the largest cryptocurrencies to the second line and push back its closest competitor XRP, the rate of which also increased by 2.94% in 24 hours and currently stands at $0.31 with a capitalization of $12.8 billion.
Litecoin also went up in the past 24 hours. The rate of cryptocurrency increased by 1.21% to 44.39 dollars. Capitalization - 2.68 billion dollars.
