Bitcoin is back above $50,000 and bulls are currently attempting to secure a daily close above the oft disputed level.
The strength seen in BTC has also helped kickstart momentum in the altcoins and at the time of writing, several tokens are seeing gains in excess of 20%.
Data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro and TradingView shows that the biggest gainers over the past 24-hours were Linear (LINA), Secret (SCRT) and Presearch (PRE).
