Biggest Movers: XRP Rebounds on Friday, Nearing Recent Highs 

Xrp was up by nearly 10% on Friday, as the token moved closer to a recent four-month high. The move comes as consumer sentiment data in the United States came in at 58.6, which is higher than August’s reading of 58.2. UNUS SED LEO was also in the green, climbing by as much as 12% in today’s session.

XRP

XRP was up by over 10% in today’s session, as prices moved closer towards a multi-month high.

Following a low of $0.4285 on Thursday, XRP/USD rallied to an intraday peak of $0.503 earlier in the day.

The move saw the token formerly known as ripple near last week’s high of $0.558, which was the strongest point since May.

As can be seen from the chart, earlier gains have somewhat eased, as the relative strength index (RSI) collided with a ceiling.

The index is currently tracking at 63.81, which is marginally lower than the aforementioned resistance point of 65.00.

Should XRP bulls attempt to recapture last week’s high, then a breakout of the RSI ceiling will need to take place.

UNUS SED LEO (LEO)

Another notable mover in today’s session was UNUS SED LEO (LEO), which trading by as much as 12% higher.

LEO/USD raced to an intraday peak of $4.69 on Friday, which comes less than a day after hitting a low of $4.18.

Today’s rally comes as LEO bounces from a key support point of $4.05. The token is now moving close to a ceiling of $4.80.

In addition to bouncing off the price floor, another reason for the rally was the 14-day RSI breaking out of a ceiling of its own.

The index moved past its resistance of 48.90, and as of writing, is tracking at a mark of 50.96.

Should we see LEO collide with the $4.80 point, then it is likely that traders will move to secure gains, leading to a decline in prices.

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.

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.
