has been locked in a relatively tight trading range for weeks. But that hasn’t stopped a few altcoins from staging double-digit rallies fueled by specific catalysts and a broad return of risk appetite.
The leading cryptocurrency has traded between roughly $73,000 and $62,000 for the past five weeks.
