ForexMinute.com – Last 24 hours in cryptocurrency market have been excellent as every top coin showed nominal-to-major growth in their market cap. While Bitcoin remained steady as usual with no dramatic rise, altcoins including Litecoin, Dogecoin and Peercoin showed signs of price rebound after a series of falls in recent days.
However, the best performers of last 24 hours were Darkcoin and Ripple, which continued to stay in their rising spree. Ripple, which was even rising in times of a market breakdown stayed on top in previous hours as well – the reason of which may be the increasing interests of top businesses in Bitcoin economy, saw extensive surges in last 24 hours as well. Darkcoin market, meanwhile, has been injected with optimism originated from the development updates presented by the coin core’s developer EDDUFIELD.

For instance, Litecoin charts have been early predicted to rise upon reaching a bottom line; and in last 24 hours, the price almost picked momentum hastily, indicating that the short-term profiteers are re-entering the market. Similarly with Dogecoin, whose price surged over 6% in last 24 hours, has again indicated a buying spree. This is further supported by the coin’s block halvening that might have reduced the supply of Dogecoin in the market.
