Today Bitcoin price and Ether (ETH) price pulled back to lower support levels after an exciting week that saw BTC soar to a new all-time high after the successful launch of two exchange-traded funds.
While much of the focus has been on BTC and Ether, multiple altcoins have racked up notable gains on as some traders appear be preparing for a possible altseason run.
Data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro and TradingView shows that the biggest gainers over the past 24-hours were THORChain (RUNE), Moonriver (MOVR) and OKB (OKB).
THORChain resumes trading on the Ethereum network
