Bitcoin Price ChartThe decline correlated with the start of Chinese New Year but it is unclear to what extent the events are linked, given that Bitcoin surged in advance of the holiday. Conventional wisdom, though, suggests that the holiday could lead to some downward pressure on the markets, as regional investors exchange their cryptoasset holdings for fiat to finance their holiday spending. Ethereum Price Charts Choppy CourseThe Ethereum price, meanwhile, charted an incredibly choppy course that saw the second-largest cryptocurrency fluctuate between $906 and $944 before ending the day at $921. Ethereum maintains a market cap of $90.9 billion. Ethereum Price ChartBitcoin Cash Price Headlines Tepid Altcoin MarketsThe majority of top-tier altcoins traded sideways on Friday, with six of the top 10 cryptocurrencies (including Ethereum) making net single-day movements of less than one percent in either direction. There was, however, one notable exception: Bitcoin Cash. Source: CoinMarketCapThe Bitcoin Cash price leaped by 12 percent for the day, reaching as high as 1,550 on Bitfinex before ebbing back to $1,457 at the time of writing. Bitcoin Cash was the only top-tier coin to post a double-digit percentage advance — indeed, it was the only coin in the top 10 to rise by more than two percent — and it now boasts a market cap of $25.5 billion. Bitcoin Cash Price ChartThis advance enabled Bitcoin Cash to gain significant ground on third-ranked Ripple, which remains valued at $43.8 billion after a day of sideways trading. Cardano, NEO, EOS, and IOTA posted similarly-stagnant returns, while Litecoin and Stellar declined by three percent and one percent, respectively. Featured image from Shutterstock
