The fortitude of Bitcoin (BTC) holders continues to be tested on Nov. 17 as a number of attempts to push the price to $59,000 and below grow. This level has been well defended by bulls but analysts are still watching for the $63,000 level to be reclaimed as support before saying the "dip" has ended.
While much of the recent focus has been on Bitcoin and matters related to exchange-traded funds (ETFs), the altcoin market has been providing some relief and a handful of tokens rallied toward new all-time highs on Nov. 17.
Data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro and TradingView shows that three of the largest gainers over the past 24-hours have been Oasis Network (ROSE), Yield Guild Games (YGG) and AirSwap (AST).
