Bitcoin price: Top cryptocurrency prices today: Polkadot, Dogecoin add 4%; Solana sheds 4%

New Delhi: Major cryptocurrencies showed mixed trends on Friday, entering a phase of consolidation. Investors turned cautious ahead of the weekend as the market lacked directional cues.

Five out of the top 10 cryptocurrencies were trading higher at 9.30 hours IST. Solana tanked 4 per cent, whereas Polkadot and Dogecoin jumped 4 per cent each.

The global crypto market cap increased up to a percent to $2.17 trillion compared to the last day. However, the total crypto market volume gained as much as 8 per cent to $109.39 billion.



“Cryptos have entered into a consolidation phase. Such consolidations help to build back the momentum, and make a higher move. Overall, the momentum looks bullish across altcoins,” said Edul Patel, CEO and Co-founder of Mudrex.
