Trading at $2.58, SNX was one of the leading altcoins today to paint red on the charts. Declining by 9.12%, the cryptocurrency wiped out half of the 27.63% rally from the previous 48 hours.
At the moment, the altcoin is somehow maintaining the bullishness it obtained from the 109% rise, saving Awesome Oscillator from falling below the neutral line.
Following in the footsteps of Synthetix, Compound also noted a 7.89% fall in price, however, investors will not be affected too severely in the case of COMP.

The silver to Bitcoin’s gold, Litecoin, adhered to the broader market trend sinking by 8.18% in the last 24 hours. This further added to the 18% decline LTC has observed in the previous ten days.

The DeFi fitness protocol was observed treading against the active market trend and climbed by over 7% in the last 24 hours.
The 8.82% rise in 2 days only makes up for half the 18% drawdown from the previous week, but the same is still keeping the 66.5% rally from June intact.
Furthermore, with the MACD keeping away from a bearish crossover, for now, GMT might be able to continue rising towards $1.
BAT kept GMT company with an 8.52% rise bringing the coin to trade at $0.43. The coin recently fell by 14.46%, however, the surge that followed helped BAT recover to the price point it was at after the 52.47% rally.
