QNT Leads Altcoin Rally, BTC Price Aims at $85K Again: Weekend Watch

WLD, PYTH, GRAM, and RAY follow suit in terms of impressive daily gains. Bitcoin’s rather calm price behavior continues over the weekend, but the asset is gradually grinding toward the $85,000 mark after defending the $83,000 support on Friday. Some altcoins have produced impressive gains over the past 24 hours, but Quant’s QNT trades in a league of its own after a recent bullish development. BTC Eyes $85K The previous business week began with a bang as the largest cryptocurrency exploded from the $80,000 support and blasted through a few major resistance levels before it topped $87,000 for the first time in eight months. The bears tried to intercept the move and pushed the asset south to $85,000 before another leg up resulted in a surge to $87,300. The subsequent rejection was more profound. BTC failed at that level and slipped by several grand to $83,000 a few days later. After another rejection at a lower high at around $85,000, bitcoin dipped to $83,000 on Friday once again.
