Futures Trading Announcement Pushes Altcoin’s Price Upward
As is known, the start of futures trading for an altcoin by Binance often has a positive impact on the price of that altcoin, triggering a strong rally. It was no different for MOVR, as the price of the altcoin trended upwards following the exchange’s futures trading announcement.
Before the announcement, MOVR, which was seen to be moving downward due to a pullback in the largest cryptocurrency, Bitcoin (BTC), rose from $31.28 to $33.54 following the announcement.
As of this writing, MOVR is trading at $33.51, up 2.36% in the last 24 hours. Data reveals that the altcoin’s price has surged by 401.87% over the last 7 days and by 397% over the last 30 days.
