During the weekend, when bitcoin rose to a two-week high, it was Gala that stole the show after climbing 37%. The global crypto market capitalization rose by around 8% on Saturday. Bulls were back in action.
Biggest gainers
Following a huge week of news in the gaming and crypto space, it was only a matter of time till traders turned their attentions to gala (GALA).
Crypto bulls flocked to GALA to start the weekend, pushing prices of the gaming-based blockchain almost 40% higher
GALA/USD, rose to an intraday high of $0. 2668, following its low of $0. 1865 during yesterday’s session.
Today’s move has come just as the price of GALA broke out of its 2-week resistance level of $0. 2115, which has been held since January 21.

However, the two biggest to remain red today were quant (QNT) and maker (MKR), with QNT stealing the honor of biggest loser on Saturday.
Following four consecutive sessions of rallies to start the week, QNT/USD was down by almost 5% as of writing, hitting an intraday low of $130. 77 in the process.
