Biggest Movers: AVAX, SOL Slip by 14% on Wednesday, as Prices Near 1-Week Low

SOL was down by as much as 14% on Wednesday, as prices fell close to a one-week low earlier today. In addition to this, AVAX saw a similar decline, as the token dropped for a fourth consecutive session, with prices moving below $20.

Solana (SOL)

SOL was lower in today’s session, as prices fell for a fourth straight session following a false breakout of the $40 level.

The world’s ninth largest cryptocurrency dropped to an intraday low of $34.24 in today’s session, which is its lowest point since June 23.

Wednesday’s six-day low comes less than 24-hours after prices were trading at a peak of $39.71.

Despite today’s nearly 14% decline, SOL is currently only 3.9% lower than at the same point last week, when prices rose to a peak of $43.

Looking at the chart, SOL/USD is currently trading at $34.27, however we could be set to see further declines, as bears target the $30 mark.

However, in order to reach this point, price strength will have to fall below the support point on the 14-day RSI of 42.30.

Avalanche (AVAX)

AVAX was on a similar path to SOL on Wednesday, as prices also fell by as much as 14% in today’s session.

Following a peak of $20.48 on Tuesday, AVAX/USD plunged to an intraday low of $17.39 earlier in the day.

This drop saw the avalanche token fall for a fourth straight day, with prices now nearing its recent support point at $14.50.

The recent bear run commenced on Sunday, when prices attempted, but failed, to break out of the $21.90 resistance level.

Despite today’s drop in price, AVAX is still up nearly 3% from the same point last week, and as such, the 10-day moving average looks set for an upwards cross with the 25-day moving average.

Providing this occurs, and the 14-day RSI remains above its own floor at 40.40, then we might soon see prices back above $22.

Where do you expect AVAX to be trading by the end of July? 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,...
