The price of bitcoin fell 2% on Saturday, falling below $ 4,300 after briefly approaching its record high. The price for the ethereum was stable at around $ 335, while the price of bitcoin cash fell 3% to $ 626. As a rule, earlier, this led to a slight reduction in the market, but this time the confident growth of Monero and Dash provided the support necessary to maintain a record level of capitalization.

The price of bitcoin fell to $ 4,300
The price of bitcoin increased by 4% on Friday, which allowed investors to hope that the price is about to exceed the mark of 4,500 dollars. Unfortunately, the price of bitcoin began to fall around 20:00 UTC, and on Saturday it continued to decline gradually.

Gatecoin CEO Aurelien Menant predicts that bitcoin will reach $ 5,000 by the end of the year, while Wall Street strategist Tom Lee predicts that by mid-2018 he will overcome the $ 6,000 threshold.
The price for Dash soars to 400 dollars
The total capitalization of the crypto-currency market owes its stability to the prices for Monero and Dash, which in August set new historical records. Last month, the price of Dash was $ 200. It gradually grew during the following weeks, after all, breaking through the mark of 300 dollars on August 20. The price fluctuated around $ 300 a level for most of the week, but a spike in trade at Bithumb helped Dash rise above $ 400, and set a new high of $ 409 on Saturday morning. The price of Dash has dropped a bit since then and is currently $ 387. This gives Dash a market capitalization of $ 2.9 billion, fixing it securely in 5th place.
One factor that influences the rapid rise of Dash is the fact that they may sponsor a new show by Max Keyser who offered them full sponsorship of their new show The Great American Pilgrimage in exchange for 2000 Dash (775,000 dollars at the time of writing ).
The price of Monero increased by another 45%

On Friday, the price of Monero for the first time exceeded $ 100, but its growth did not stop. This morning, the price of Monero rose another 45%, raising it to a record level of 146 dollars. Currently, the price for this crypto currency is $ 140, resulting in a market capitalization of $ 2.1 billion. At present, there are nine Crypto-currencies, the market capitalization of which exceeds $ 2 billion.
