Altcoins surge even as Bitcoin and Ethereum price fall toward key support levels

Altcoins surge even as Bitcoin and Ethereum price fall toward key support levels

Price action in the crypto market has not been for the faint of heart over the past 48 hours and it's clear that volatility following Bitcoin (BTC) and Ether’s (ETH) breakouts brought new all-time highs. 

While the top two cryptocurrencies fight to hold key support levels, the altcoin market has seen a handful of tokens post double-digit gains on Nov. 5 and Cointelegraph Markets Pro’s altseason indicator suggests the current market conditions line up with previous altseason price moves.

As seen in the chart above, the VORTECS™ Score for XYO began to pick up on Nov. 2 and reached a high of 77 around four hours before the price surged 103% over the next two days.

The spike in price of XYO comes as the token was listed on the Crypto.com app and a liquidity mining pool was launced on Gate where depositors can earn a 543.22% return on their investment.

CRO benefits from the Coinbase bump

CRO is the native token of the Crypto.com ecosystem and users can stake CRO alongside other cryptocurrencies on its app to earn rewards, as well and utilize their holdings to make everyday purchases via the Crypto.com Pay mobile payments app.

VORTECS™ data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro began to detect a bullish outlook for CRO on Nov. 3, prior to the recent price rise.
