Biggest Movers: DOGE, AVAX Fall to 1-Month Lows on Saturday

Dogecoin fell to a one-month low to start the weekend, as a red wave swept through cryptocurrency markets. Avalanche also dropped to a four-week low on Saturday, as the token hit a key support point. As of writing, the global crypto market cap is trading 5.46% lower.

Dogecoin (DOGE)

Dogecoin (DOGE) was a notable mover during Saturday’s session, as the meme coin fell to its lowest level since late July.

The token dropped to an intraday low of $0.06261 to start the weekend, which is its lowest point since July 27.

As a result of the sell-off, DOGE/USD fell below its long-term support level at $0.0650, which comes two days after trading at a ceiling of $0.0730.

As seen on the chart, there was another technical occurrence which triggered today’s decline — the downward cross between the 10-day (red) and 25-day (blue) moving averages (MA).

This appears to have been the signal bears were waiting for before reentering the market, and once it took place, floodgates opened.

As of writing, Saturday’s bleed has somewhat eased, and this comes as the 14-day relative strength index (RSI) found a floor at the 40.00 mark.

Should this point hold firm, then we may see DOGE consolidate, and potentially rebound in coming days.

Avalanche (AVAX)

Like DOGE, Avalanche (AVAX) fell to a four-week low to start the weekend, as the price of the token declined by nearly 10%.

Following a peak of $23.17 on Friday, AVAX/USD slipped to an intraday bottom of $20.08 earlier in the day.

This, as with dogecoin, is the weakest level the token has hit since July 27, and comes following a slight breakout of support.

The aforementioned floor was at the $20.60 level, however bears attempted to take AVAX to a lower support of $19.50.

Bulls have so far rejected this, with avalanche now trading at $20.56, after the RSI found its own floor at 34.00.

However, sentiment still remains bearish, with a strong possibility of a drop below $20.00 this weekend.

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 ...
