A rising tide floats all boats in the cryptocurrency market today with mid-to-high single-digit gains seen across the space.

The latest rally has been led by Bitcoin (BTC) which has broken back above $50k and looks set to move higher. Ethereum (ETH) continues to make fresh multi-month highs while Cardano (ADA) now trades in unchartered territory. Further down the list, there are double-digit 24 hours gains for a range of alt-coins including IOTA (MIOTA), Fantom (FTM), and Mina (MINA).

Bitcoin (BTC/USD) Daily Price Chart September 2, 2021
After testing multi-month high resistance over the last couple of weeks, Ethereum finally made a clear break yesterday, pushing ETH back to levels last seen in May. The second-largest cryptocurrency by market cap had been leading the market higher this week, outperforming BTC by a reasonable margin. Ethereum is in heavily overbought territory, using the CCI shown at the bottom of the graph and this may slow any further move higher until this reading falls back into neutral territory. Aside from this, the recent uptrend channel is close by and a break back into this would give a further positive signal for ETH going forward, especially with all three simple moving averages in a positive set-up.
