Sunday, October 14: crypto markets keep their balance after the recent sell-off this week, with most of the 20 top coins by market cap slightly in the green. Fluctuations on the markets in both directions have for the most part been no more than 1 percent, as data from Coin360 shows.
Bitcoin (BTC) has seen slight growth over the past 24 hours, having strengthened to above the $6,300 threshold. At press time, the major cryptocurrency is trading at $6,331, slightly down from its intraday high around $6,360, while recovering from its intraday low around $6,277.
