Current Bitcoin Price: $6437 (as of 9:00 AM PST)

A quick look at the percentage change in crypto prices over the last 24 hours makes it look like the market is trading sideways.

It really is a mixed spread today, although there is certainly more green on the charts than there is red. Among the top-10 currencies, the biggest mover is Cardano — which has risen 5% today.
