Market Trend 08/08 - 14/08 | Cel reaches $3.93 while ETH maintains an upward momentum

15 August 09:48

Many cryptocurrencies maintained constant prices during the week and most of them failed to break key resistance levels. However, CEL, the cryptocurrency for the troubled Celsius, maintained a high momentum not just within the week but within the past two months. The CEL token, which recorded over 500% price increase within two months, gained value during the week. Although its value in June was around $0,093, by the end of the week it was trading at around$3.93.

The probable reason for CEL’s rise in value during this week was the rumour that Ripples wants to purchase Celsius assets. In fact, Reuters reported the latest development, although there is no confirmation of the transaction. As a result, during the mid-week CEL gained 16% within 24 hours. By the end of the week, it still maintained a bullish momentum.

According to Forbes, at one moment during the week, CEL’s highest price was $4.03. However, its weekly lowest value was $1.19.
