Biggest Movers: NEAR Hits 1-Month Low, XMR Down 12%

NEAR saw recent losses extend on Wednesday, as it fell to a one-month low during today’s session. The decline in NEAR came as XMR also traded in the red, falling to a multi-week low in the process.

NEAR Protocol (NEAR)

NEAR was one of the biggest tokens to fall on hump-day, as prices fell to a one-month low earlier in today’s session.

Following a peak of $15.18 on Tuesday, NEAR/USD slipped to an intraday bottom of $12.50 on Wednesday.

The drop saw NEAR fall to its lowest level since March 27, and keeps prices close to recent support of $12.45.

Since hitting this floor, there has been somewhat of a rebound, with the price now trading at $12.84, which is still nearly 7% lower than yesterday’s high.

This comes as bulls have historically used this floor as an entry point, with a few rallies occurring at this level in the past.

Aside from this, the 14-day RSI is now hovering around a two-month low, which could be another reason for some to remain optimistic about potential rebound.

Monero (XMR)

XMR was down by over 12% in today’s session, however as the day matured, losses somewhat eased from earlier lows.

As of writing, XMR/USD is trading at $225.58, which follows on from today’s intraday bottom of $224.32.

Overall, monero has been trading lower for the past six sessions, with today’s low coming less than 24 hours after a top of $243.88.

This latest decline pushed prices below the long-term support level of $229.00, taking XMR to a two-week low in the process.

While prices are trading at a multi-week low, the 14-day RSI is currently tracking at its weakest point since February 26.

Should this recent trend continue, it is likely that bears will be looking to push price toward the lower support level of $211.00.

Will we see XMR end this bearish trend 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,...
