The past 24 hours have put nearly all of the Top 10 cryptocurrencies in the green and have resulted in some breakout gains for Crypto.com Chain (CRO) and several other altcoins.

Beware the Ides of March? Not so Much

Julius Caesar may have needed to watch his back today, but for the rest of us, the Ides of March is looking pretty good. At press time, all but one of Top 10 cryptocurrencies on CoinMarketCap are trading in the green and there have been some surprising – and significant – gains overnight.

Following last month’s brief ascent into $4000 territory, Bitcoin dropped back down into the upper $3800 to mid $3900 range where it has been trading mostly sideways ever since. A small overnight jump of just over 1% has BTC trading at $3961.55.

Ethereum is such a scrappy little bugger that it’s hard not to be happy every time the price inches upward. Despite losing more than 94% of its value last year, the number two cryptocurrency continues to slowly claw its way back. Overnight, ETH saw a gain of nearly 3.25% – from $133.63 to its current price of $137.84.

Dubious marketing tactics notwithstanding, Bitcoin Cash – Bitcoin’s surly step-brother – has staying power. It lost nearly 98% of its value last year AND was at the epicenter of a contentious hard fork that sent the market into a tailspin yet it remains standing. In the past 24 hours, BCH has climbed from $134.57 to $144.89 – a gain of nearly 8%.

Crypto.com Chain (CRO) Up 80%

Languishing in the back 20% of the Top 100 just a month ago, Crypto.com Chain (CRO), then at #81, is now poised to crack the Top 20. Earlier this week, the company spiked a tap into the Indonesian market with the launch of its Crypto.com Pay service and its listing on Indodax. That, coupled with announcements of impending listings on both Upbit and Bittrex have caused CRO prices to spike dramatically.

Following a steady week-long rise, CRO jumped a further 80% over the past 24 hours. Currently, Crypto.com Chain (CRO) is trading at around $0.104.
