Present situation

24 hours ago according to CoinDesk data Bitcoin (BTC) traded at $3,984. CoinDesk uses averages of several exchanges for its data and thus will differ from data from a single exchange. The high has been just above $4,000 at $4,002 and the low $3,957. Bitcoin is obviously trading in a narrow range right now and struggling to reach and break through resistance levels above $4,000. The present price of BTC can be found here. At 17:10 Central Standard Time BTC was trading at $3,986 just two dollars above its open.

Ethereum was still up marginally at $136.14 and Ripple was also up a little at $0.3106. ADA was still up 9.5 percent. The vast majority of the top 20 crypocoins are still up but some marginally.
