Bitcoin continues to improve on its position in increments. The market leader is up 1.5% in the last day, trading above the key $26k level this morning.
Ethereum (ETH) is up 2.3%, while Solana (SOL) is showing a bit more pep and is up by more than 4%. Other cryptos like Polygon (MATIC) and Avalanche (AVAX) are also up by more than 1% over the last 24 hours.
