Biggest Movers: DOT Rebounds Following Recent Losses, as RUNE Moves Toward Multi-Week Low

Biggest Movers: DOT Rebounds Following Recent Losses, as RUNE Moves Toward Multi-Week Low

Following two consecutive sessions of declines, DOT saw its price rebound on Friday, as it moved away from a multi-week low. While DOT rose away from these lows, RUNE dropped, with the token falling towards them. Prices of RUNE are down by over 10% as of writing.

Polkadot (DOT)

DOT was a notable mover during Friday’s session, as prices rebounded following two consecutive days of losses.

After two days of declines, DOT/USD dropped to a bottom of $8.61 on Thursday, however, it followed that up with a nearly 10% rally today.

Today’s move saw DOT hit an intraday high of $9.91, as prices moved away from recent lows which are close to support of $9.05.

Looking at the chart, the next price target for bulls will likely be the ceiling at $10.50, which has mostly held firm for the past ten days.

Whilst it currently tracks at 38.85, bulls will likely be paying close attention to the 39.50 level on the RSI, as it appears to be a hard ceiling.

This could mean that some bulls will likely attempt to push prices above the $10 threshold, then potentially liquidate positions prior to hitting the ceiling.

Thorchain (RUNE)

While DOT moved away from its own support level on Friday, RUNE moved towards it, as prices dropped by over 10% today.

Following a peak above $3.15 during Thursday’s session, RUNE/USD slipped to a low of $2.45 earlier in the day.

This low comes as prices break below the recent support point of $2.62, hitting their lowest level since May 12 in the process.

As a result of this fifteen-day low, the Relative Strength Index is currently tracking at 29.91, which is not only extremely oversold, but also a floor.

Bulls looking for positives will likely only hang their hat on this, as it could mean that bearish momentum is nearing an end.

However, if it isn’t then it is inevitable that bears will target $2.13 and below, in order to take RUNE to a fresh eighteen-month low.

Will we see RUNE drop to an 18-month low this weekend? Let us know your thoughts in the comments.

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,...

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 ...
