2020 has been a wonderful year so far for cryptocurrencies as the market has generally responded in a bullish trend. Leading coin Bitcoin has taken the front position as expected with the coin currently trading at $9,383 as at the time of writing.
Altcoins have not been left behind with major altcoins Ethereum and Litecoin experiencing similar bullish trends in recent weeks. There are lots of expectations on both ETH and LTC which are seen as one of the promising assets within the altcoin market.
ETH Expected to Continue Ascent Towards $200
Ethereum has been slow to pick up in recent days with the coin trading within the $177 area. Despite this, the market sentiment is fairly bullish with many traders of the belief that ETH has broken a downward trend that has affected the coin in the past few months.
The last 24 hours has seen ETH experience a positive gain of 0.86% against the dollar. If the uptrend continues and finally transforms into a bullish trend, ETH could hit the $200 mark before the end of February. However, a downturn would see the coin rebound to the $140 support levels.
A crypto trader similarly averred that ETH would reach $220 in an altcoin bull run.
