Biggest Movers: MATIC, SOL Move Towards 4-Month Highs on Saturday

Polygon rallied to its highest point in nearly four months on Saturday, as the token climbed to the $1.00 mark to start the weekend. Solana was also trading at a multi-month high, as it rose by over 10% earlier in today’s session. As of writing, the global crypto market cap is trading nearly 3% higher.

Polygon (MATIC)

Polygon (MATIC) was a notable gainer on Saturday, as the token rose to its highest point since May.

Less than 24 hours after trading at a low of $0.9141, MATIC/USD climbed to a peak of $1.02 to start the weekend.

This is the strongest point that the token has traded at since May 7, and comes after prices rallied past a key resistance level.

Looking at the chart, this resistance was at the $0.9500 region, which was last breached on July 31. However, the move eventually turned into a false breakout.

As of writing, another resistance level was hit, with the 14-day relative strength index (RSI) now tracking at a ceiling of its own.

This is the 66 point on the index, which has been in place since July 17, when the RSI moved to a high above the 80 level.

Following earlier highs, MATIC is once again trading below $1.00, as bulls retreated from their previous positions.

Solana (SOL)

In addition to MATIC, solana (SOL) was another big mover in today’s session, with it also climbing to its highest point since May.

SOL/USD raced to an intraday high of $48.18 to start the weekend’s session, as bulls attempted to recapture the $50.00 point.

The move sees solana hit its highest point since May 25, and comes as the 10-day (red) moving average (MA), crossed above the 25-day (blue) MA.

This is the first time since mid-July that such a cross has occurred, with prices rising from a floor of $32, to a ceiling of $47 on that occasion.

In addition to this, the 14-day RSI has also broken its ceiling, surging above the 59.20 resistance for the first time since July 18.

Trustee Updates Mt Gox Creditors — Repayment Date and Exchange Still Unknown Last week speculation and rumors concerning the release of 140K bitcoin ( BTC ) from Mt Gox littered social media platforms and headlines.

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,...
