Biggest Movers: SOL Over 8% Higher to Start the Week

Solana rose by as much as 8% to start the week, as the token moved toward a one-month high. The token climbed for a second straight session, as the global banking crisis pushed investors towards cryptocurrencies. Chainlink was also higher, hitting a three-week high.

Solana (SOL)

Solana (SOL) moved closer to a one-month high to start the week, as prices surged by as much as 10% in today’s session.

Following a low of $21.59 on Sunday, SOL/USD raced to an intraday peak of $23.83 earlier in the day.

As a result of Monday’s move, solana has now moved to its strongest point since late-February.

Overall, the token is now trading nearly 10% higher from the same point last week, when price was below $20.00.

Today’s surge has come following a breakout of a ceiling on the 14-day relative strength index (RSI).

As of writing, the index is tracking at 58.85, which is marginally higher than its ceiling at the 57.00 mark.

Chainlink (LINK)

In addition to SOL, chainlink (LINK) was also in the green to start the week, with prices trading by as much as 3% higher.

LINK/USD rose to a peak of $7.38 earlier in the day, which comes less than 24 hours after falling to a low of $6.99.

This surge has seen chainlink move to its highest level since March 2, when the token was trading at a high of $7.57.

Like with solana, a catalyst for the move was a breakout which took place on the RSI indicator.

As of writing, the index is tracking at 57.00, which is marginally higher than the aforementioned resistance at 55.00

Should this upward momentum continue in the coming days, LINK will likely collide with a ceiling at $7.60.

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.

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 ...
