Bitcoin, over the weekend, did not lose its grip on its recovered price and continued to trade above the $28,000 (roughly Rs. 22.9 lakh) mark throughout Saturday and Sunday. With a small profit of 0.81 percent, Bitcoin touched the price point of $28,287 (roughly Rs. 23 lakh) on Monday, April 10. Over the weekend, the first ever cryptocurrency grew by $272 (roughly Rs. 22.2 lakh) in terms of its value. Bitcoin's healthy trading value has ushered a big number of cryptocurrencies onto the profit-making side of the price charts.

Ether, that is set to get its new Shanghai upgrade later this week, also did not drop in value over the weekend. The value of Ether on Monday, stood at $1,858 (roughly Rs. 1.5 lakh) with a gain of 0.17 percent.

A big bunch of cryptocurrencies followed BTC and ETH towards the greener side of the crypto price chart, showed the tracker from Gadgets 360.

The overall crypto market rose by 0.50 percent in the last 24 hours, showed data by CoinMarketCap. At the time of writing, the market valuation of the crypto sector stood at $1.19 trillion (roughly Rs. 96,96,113 crore).

“Most cryptocurrencies experienced an uptick in value as the market responded to the non-farm payrolls report, which indicated that the US economy gained 236,000 jobs in the previous month over the weekend,” Edul Patel, CEO of Mudrex crypto investment platform told Gadgets 360.

Meanwhile, a significant chunk of the crypto listings did see losses on Monday.

These include Cardano, Polygon, Polkadot, Litecoin, Tron, and Avalanche among others.
