WazirX, Presearch and Komodo rally after data shows a surge in user activity

The characteristically volatile nature of the cryptocurrency market is back in full force on Dec. 2 after the optimism of the past couple of days has transformed into fear and Bitcoin price slid back below $57,000.

Despite the pressure being exerted on many of the top cryptocurrencies, several altcoins have managed to buck the trend and post double-digit gains on Dec. 2.

Data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro and TradingView shows that the biggest gainers over the past 24 hours were WazirX (WRX), Presearch (PRE) and Komodo (KMD).
