Biggest Movers: SHIB Bounces From Key Price Floor, Climbing to 1-Week High

Shiba inu was trading over 10% higher during Thursday’s session, as the token rallied to a one-week high. Following a week’s worth of consolidation, the meme coin bounced from a key support level, moving closer to a resistance point of $0.00001500. Ethereum classic was also in the green, climbing for a fifth consecutive session.

Shiba Inu (SHIB)

Shiba inu (SHIB) surged by as much as 10% on Thursday, pushing the meme coin to its highest point in over a week.

Following almost seven days of consolidating near its floor of $0.00001290, SHIB/USD rose to a high of $0.00001475 earlier in today’s session.

The move saw the token break out of a recent resistance point at $0.00001400, on its way to its highest point since August 18.

Looking at the chart, it appeared that bulls were targeting a higher ceiling at $0.00001510, however there was significant pushback from bears.

As of writing, SHIB is now trading at $0.00001419, as earlier gains have eased, with the 10-day (red) moving average continuing to move closer to its 25-day (blue) counterpart.

Although the token is still trading above the $0.00001400 resistance level, should bearish momentum persist, we will likely see a retreat below this point.

Ethereum Classic (ETC)

Ethereum classic (ETC) was also higher in today’s session, as it moved back towards the $40.00 region.

ETC was also likely higher on Thursday as a result of today’s news surrounding the The Merge event, leading the token to extend recent gains.

Similar to SHIB, today’s move sees ETC/USD surge by 10%, hitting an intraday high of $37.46 in the process.

The token has now climbed higher for five straight days, which began when prices rallied from its support point of $31.

During this run, the 14-day relative strength index rose from its own floor at 43.50, and as of writing is tracking at 56.37.

The index looks to be heading for a higher ceiling at 60.00, and should it hit this point, ETC will likely be trading at or above $40.00.

Deep Web Roundup: Dream Adds Monero and Bitcoin Tumbler “Chip Mixer” Launches

The darknet has been quiet of late, which is the way it’s meant to be. No news means no mega busts, honeypots, or mass market shutdowns. Even when it’s out of the spotlight though, the deep web is quietly making news, whether trialling the latest privacy coins or the newest coin mixers that promise to restore a little of the privacy that’s being stripped away from bitcoin users on a daily basis.

Chip Mixer is a relatively new bitcoin tumbler that’s designed to restore some of that privacy. Available on both the clearnet and darknet, the service uses a variety of techniques to obfuscate blockchain m...
