Market picture
The cryptocurrency market decided to storm the local highs set almost two months ago. However, the growth has not yet developed, and some players rushed to fix profits quickly despite the positive sentiment in the US stock markets.
Bitcoin is trading near $71K, where it was a day ago, but Ethereum (+1%) has moved up – a small but important step up from the consolidation range. These two coins account for over 70% of the total crypto market capitalisation and show no signs of excitement so far. It seems that the market preferred to climb smoothly to the March highs. So, we should not expect an acceleration of growth immediately after reaching them because, with smooth growth, traders will move stop orders higher.
On June 5, BNB and TON quotes updated their historical highs at $715 and $7.8, respectively. Toncoin jumped on the background of news about the addition of TON to the European trading platform Robinhood Crypto.
BNB’s rise is likely due to the Simple Earn programme, which runs from June 5 to 25 and will allow you to lock in BNB or SUI for that period for additional profits.
