Cryptocurrency Trading News: Bitcoin Calm; Dogecoin, Darkcoin Going South; Peercoin Jumps

Last 24 hours in the cryptocurrency market has been well enough for few coins, but are equally sad enough for other few, especially those in top ten market cap list. With Bitcoin finding a much-awaited surge and stability, and Darkcoin and Dogecoin continuing to lose its edge, the last 24 hours in market were of equal proportions.

But meanwhile, it is Peercoin that became the talk of the digital town when it climbed one step above in the cryptocurrency market and grabbed the status of the 4th richest digital currency, beating Darkcoin by margin. This escalation also helped Peercoin injecting optimism in the market; its value against the USD has increased 12% in last 24 hours.

On the other side, the reason of Litecoin sudden drop is unearthed by its blockchain. An anonymous Litecoin user sold its 30,000 units of coins in exchange of either fiat or cryptocurrency that ultimately injured the coin’s market cap and price. This also gave critics to mouth few bad words for Litecoin. Although, it is still possible for the coin to rebound anytime soon.

Dogecoin was further a talk of the town for all wrong reasons. It dropped more than 12% in the last 24 hours and gave air to the speculation that was*predicting it to have been losing its steam earlier. The community however looks calm as ever and is hoping to deal with this drop by simply ignoring it;.
