Biggest Movers: ATOM Climbs to Highest Point Since May, While SOL Rises by Over 10%

Cosmos rose to its highest point since May earlier in today’s session, as crypto markets surged on Thursday. The global market cap is trading over 6.27% higher as of writing, with bullish sentiment sweeping through. Solana was trading over 10% higher in today’s session .

Cosmos (ATOM)

Cosmos (ATOM) was trading higher on Thursday, as the token rallied to its highest point since May.

Following a low of $11.72 in today’s session, ATOM/USD surged to an intraday peak of $12.27 earlier in the day.

This was the most ATOM has traded at since May 23, when the token was at a top above the $12.30 region.

Looking at the chart, this latest surge in price came following a rebound from a support point of $11.15, which came during Wednesday’s session.

This increase in price pushed the 14-day relative strength index (RSI) to a resistance level of 63, which has been in place since July 21.

Should bulls in ATOM look to extend this recent run of form, then we will need to see the index move beyond this ceiling.

Solana (SOL)

In addition to ATOM, solana (SOL) was trading higher on Thursday, as prices climbed by over 10% in today’s session.

After residing at a floor of $39.99 on hump day, SOL/USD surged to a high of $45.00 earlier in today’s session.

This peak saw SOL trade at its most valuable since July 30, when the token was above the current resistance level of $45.00.

Since colliding with this point earlier today, the price of SOL has somewhat slipped, and as of writing is at $44.10.

Bulls seem to have abandoned earlier positions, in exchange for securing profits, which has given way to some slight uncertainty in price movement.

This uncertainty was made greater by the fact that the RSI is also hovering close to its own ceiling of 59.

If we are to see solana continue its gain, then this resistance point will need to be broken.

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,...
