Biggest Movers: DOGE Down 10%, XRP Extends Declines

Dogecoin was down by as much as 10% to start the week, as the token retreated from Sunday’s high. The meme coin raced to a three-week high over the weekend, however bulls appeared to have abandoned their positions, opting to secure profits. Xrp, formerly known as ripple, fell for a third straight session on Monday.

Dogecoin (DOGE)

Dogecoin (DOGE) was 10% lower on Monday, as traders moved to secure profits following recent gains.

Following a high of $0.1057 on Sunday, DOGE/USD slipped to an intraday bottom of $0.09302 to start the week.

The drop saw the token move closer to a key support point of $0.090, less than 24 hours after hitting a three-week high.

As can be seen from the chart, the move comes as the 14-day relative strength index (RSI) failed to break out of a ceiling of 60.00.

Currently, the index is tracking at 55.20, with the next visible point of support at the 52.00 mark.

Despite the current decline in price, momentum still remains bullish, with the 10-day (red) moving average still positioned for an upwards cross.

XRP

XRP, formerly known as ripple, was also in the red to start the week, with the token falling for a third straight day.

XRP/USD slipped to an intraday low of $0.3758 during Monday’s session, pushing prices nearly 7% lower than Sunday’s high of $0.4079.

Today’s bottom was the weakest point for XRP since last Thursday, Nov. 24, when price was at a low of $0.3670.

Honing in on the chart, it appears that bears have regained confidence, following a failed breakout of a key ceiling on the RSI.

The index failed to move beyond a ceiling of 50.85, with price strength now tracking at the 44.69 level.

A upwards crossover between the 10-day (red), and 25-day (blue) moving averages still remains possible, which could mean future rallies may be incoming.

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,...
