Biggest Movers: ETC, UNI Slip to 2-Month Lows on Monday

Ethereum classic fell to a two-month low to start the week, as prices in the cryptocurrency market continue to decline. Uniswap also slipped to a multi-month low on Monday, as the token hit its weakest level since July. As of writing, the global crypto market cap is down 5.08%

Ethereum Classic (ETC)

Ethereum classic (ETC) was one of the most notable movers on Monday, as the token fell by over 12% to start the week.

Following a high of $33.41 during the weekend, ETC/USD slipped to an intraday low of $27.91 earlier today.

The drop comes less than a week after ethereum classic was trading above $40.00, ahead of last Wednesday’s Merge.

Monday’s drop sees ETC move to its lowest point since July 27, when the token was trading near $24.00.

As of writing, earlier price declines have eased, with ETC now back above the $30.00 mark.

After a brief breakout, the 14-day relative strength index (RSI) is also tracking marginally above a support of its own at 40.95.

Uniswap (UNI)

Like ethereum classic, UNI was also in the red to start the week, as the token moved closer to a multi-month low.

On Monday, UNI/USD found itself trading below a support point of $5.50, with prices falling to as low as $5.42.

Similar to ETC, this is the lowest level UNI has hit since July, however in this instance the bottom occurred on July 11.

Looking at the chart, the sell-off led to the RSI hitting a floor of 36.15, with bears using this as a signal to secure previous gains.

Currently UNI is trading higher, with prices close to climbing above the aforementioned support point of $5.50.

Should this happen, bullish sentiment will likely begin to return, with traders likely looking to push the token above $6.00.

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.
