Crypto week begins with push into the green

June 3, 2024

MOST large-cap cryptocurrencies have started the week in the green. Bitcoin's price is up by 2.3% over the past 24 hours, trading around $69,046.

Ethereum is moving more laterally, priced around $3,815, and 1% more than yesterday.

Most cryptocurrencies are experiencing gains between 0% and 2% over the past 24 hours.

As markets idle, the Fear and Greed Index continues to reflect "Greed" among crypto investors. It's just a question of when this sentiment will manifest in price action and which catalyst event will drive it.
