Biggest Movers: SOL, Near Protocol up by Over 10% to Start the Week

Solana moved closer to the $40.00 mark on Monday, as it rose for a sixth straight session to start the week. Bullish momentum in the world’s ninth largest cryptocurrency intensified, following a breakout of a resistance point of $36.35. Near protocol was also in the green, as prices rose by over 10% on Monday.

Solana (SOL)

Solana (SOL) climbed to a three-week high to start the week, as the token moved towards the $40.00 level

Following a low of $34.48 on Sunday, SOL/USD was able to reach a peak of $38.15 so far in today’s session.

Today’s rally comes as the toke rose past a key resistance level of $36.30 for the time since August 19.

As seen from the chart, Monday’s rally came as the 10-day (red) moving average crossed its 25-day (blue) counterpart for the first time in over a month.

In addition to this, the 14-day relative strength index (RSI) is currently tracking at 61.31, which is its strongest reading since August 13.

This is marginally below a ceiling of 64.05, which will likely be the main hurdle preventing prices from rising above $40.00.

Near Protocol (NEAR)

Near protocol (NEAR) was another notable mover to start the week, with prices nearing a one-month high.

NEAR/USD was able to climb to a peak of $5.25 on Monday, less than 24 hours after trading at a low of $4.72.

Monday’s surge comes as near protocol rose for a sixth consecutive session, with today’s top the highest point it has reached since August 16.

This recent rise in bullish momentum comes following an upwards crossover of the 10-day (red), and 25-day (blue) moving averages last week.

As a result of the increase in price, the RSI has moved to its strongest level since August 13, and is currently tracking at a reading of 64.25.

Should bulls continue to maintain the current sentiment, NEAR could continue to move closer to a target price of $5.50.

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,...
