An intra-day trader who goes by the name Skew Δ (@52kskew) tweeted yesterday that Ethereum (ETH) continues to lead the altcoin market in terms of performance, given its positive price movement over the last few weeks. The trader added that a continued rise in ETH’s price over the coming days may open up an opportunity for other altcoins’ prices to rise as well.
Now if we compare TOTAL3 to ETH, we can see ETH leads the altcoin market in terms of weakness & strength.
