After maintaining largely stagnant price movement, the collective crypto-market seems to be enjoying a massive run, at press time. Following the news about Bitcoin crossing the $6,000-market, almost all altcoins witnessed a sharp turn of events as the market momentum reversed and pushed the coins by significant amounts to break immediate resistances.

EOS, the sixth largest cryptocurrency, joined the market rally and was up by 6% over the past hour. The token was valued at $5.14 at press time and held a market cap of $4.85 billion. The coin registered a 24-hour trading volume of $2.29 billion and was surging by 7.86% over the past day. Confirming the market’s stance against the bears, EOS was also registering a substantial gain of 10% over the past week.

FCoin held a majority of the EOS trading volume and accounted for $161 million in volume via the EOS/USDT pair. This amounted to almost 6% of the total trade volume. The second spot was taken by OKEx, which recorded a 24-hour trade volume of $141 million via the EOS/USDT pair.

With this unforeseen rally, it seems as if the bear market has come to an end. Many prominent analysts have also opined confirming this. eToro’s Mati Greenspan tweeted,

So despite the way it looks, my best guess is today’s crypto surge is not being caused by any flight from tether or bitfinex.

More likely this is simply a continuation of the recent bullish shift in sentiment we’ve been tracking.
