IoTeX Price ($IOTX) up 74% Today, Surpassing $1b in Market Cap

Following a conference earlier today, $IOTX price rose over 74% surpassing $1b in market cap and placing in the top 100 crytpocurrencies. It’s the biggest gainer today on Crypto.com followed by Maker ($MKR) and DeRace ($DERC).

Why Is IoTex Price Rising?

The most common question in these scenarios is what’s the reason for the recent price hike?

One possibility might be the partnerships announced yesterday. The first one was with Travala.com which was announced yesterday on Travala’s official twitter:

Yet another possible reason for the bullish momentum could be IoTeX’s conference which happened earlier this morning. Two IoTeX team members: Xinxin Fan – Head of Cryptography, and Larry Pang – Head of Business Developemt, gave a presentation about “Trusted Vehicle Tracking with IoTeX and Pebble Tracker”

We can only assume the presentation went well as investors quickly rushed to buy IoTeX after the presentation.

IoTeX ($IOTX) Price Analysis

The IoTeX bull run started around 9AM PST, when $IOTX was trading at $0.083. At 10:30AM the price peaked at $0.11 followed by a rebound @ $0.10.

There is also a major increase in trading volume which suggests that support at $0.10 is strong and chances are it will hold for the next few hours.

At the time of writing IoTeX hit a new all time high of $0.13 with a $1.2b market cap placing it on the top 100 cryptocurrencies by market cap.

The hype with IoTeX is real today and the markets show it.
