The cryptocurrency market continued to show positive movements on Tuesday evening and Wednesday morning with most of the coins maintaining their recent increases and others building upon their upward movement.

Bitcoin Cash kept up with the pace of the BTC bull and traded up as much as 10% to the $870 mark before easing back slightly to register $850 at press time. Ethereum was also up by around 3% to touch the $470 mark, but progress here has been rather sluggish with not much movement either way although the trend has been generally positive. Ripple was also quite stationary with trading oscillating between the $0.45 and $0.46 levels. EOS saw considerable gains, rising to the $8.70 level at one point late Tuesday but fell back to the $8.50 level on Wednesday morning at press time.
