Biggest Movers: QNT Climbs 10%, as ALGO and RUNE Rise Higher

QNT climbed over 10% during today’s session, as RUNE and ALGO both rose by as much as 15% on Friday. This comes as cryptocurrency markets were trading nearly 4% higher as of writing this, as markets began preparing for the weekend’s action.

Thorchain (RUNE)

Thorchain (RUNE) was one of the biggest gainers on Friday, and was at one point nearly 15% higher, before gains somewhat eased throughout the day.

Following a low of $7.96 on Thursday, RUNE/USD rallied to an intraday high at $9.52 during today’s session.

Today’s peak was close to last Sunday’s high of $9.58, which was the highest level RUNE had traded at since December 4.

Friday’s surge in price came as prices once again broke out of the resistance level at $8.99, however as with previous breakouts at this level, market uncertainty sent prices lower.

Looking at this chart, today’s gain follows three consecutive sessions of declines, with the reversal pushing the RSI to its highest point this week.

This point now resembles a ceiling, and is acting as the main resistance to further gains in the price of RUNE.

Algorand (ALGO)

Both quant (QNT) and ethereum classic (ETC) were trading higher for most of today’s session, however, gains eased throughout the course of the day.

As this happened, algorand (ALGO) managed to maintain its bullish momentum, rising to nearly a five-week high in the process.

Today’s rally was the tenth day in twelve that the price of ALGO has risen, with today’s gains taking us just above resistance of $0.9395.

ALGO/USD rose to an intraday high of $0.9472, which is its highest point since February 17, leading to prices entering overbought territory.

Looking at the chart, the 14-day RSI indicator is now tracking at 67.80, which is a point that price strength hasn’t hit since September last year.

ALGO bears are likely already anticipating a reversal, however, some bulls could look to push prices further toward the $1.10 ceiling.

Do we expect prices of ALGO to turn around heading into the weekend? Let us know your thoughts in the comments.

Fidelity Discusses Bitcoin as Portfolio Insurance — Could Soon Stand in ‘Stark Contrast’ to Path Fiat Currencies Take

Fidelity Digital Assets, a subsidiary of Fidelity Investments, says that bitcoin could be considered portfolio insurance. The firm notes that the cryptocurrency “may soon stand in stark contrast to the path that the rest of the world and fiat currencies may take — namely the path of increased supply, additional currency creation, and central bank balance sheet expansion.” Fidelity Says Bitcoin Could Be Portfolio Insurance Fidelity Digital Assets, a subsidiary of Fidelity Investments, recently published a research study titled “The Rising Dollar and Bitcoin.” The research outlines “how bitcoin could be considered portfolio insurance” as the rising dollar impacts global currency markets. “The strengthening U.S. dollar is wreaking havoc among other countries and may put pressure on the Federal Reserve to soon reverse its tightening monetary actions, something that has precedent based on 1985’s Plaza Accord,” Fidelity explained. In addition, “more monetary debasement may be needed to ...

Economists Discuss Russia, China Potentially Developing Gold-Backed Currency That Could Undermine US Dollar

Economists have weighed in on reports that China and Russia may be developing a new gold-backed currency that could undermine the U.S. dollar’s status as the world’s primary reserve currency. Russia and China May Be Developing Gold-Backed Currency Several experts have shared their views on Russia and China potentially creating a new gold-baked currency, Fox Business reported Saturday, emphasizing that China has been buying up huge quantities of gold while Russia was forced off the U.S. dollar due to sanctions imposed on the country following its invasion of Ukraine. The news outlet noted that some experts have cautioned that these moves, along with the closer relationship that has developed between Moscow and Beijing, point to the likelihood of China attempting to launch a gold-backed currency. However, neither Russia nor China has officially confirmed plans for such a currency. Craig Singleton, senior fellow at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies and a former U.S. diplomat,...
