Biggest Movers: XMR Nears 6-Week High, as LINK Falls Near a Resistance Level

Monero climbed for a third consecutive session on Thursday, as the token moved marginally closer to a six-week high. This rise in price comes despite the fact that the global market cap mostly consolidated, and is trading just 0.50% higher as of writing. As for LINK, chainlink bulls have so far failed to break out of a key resistance point.

Monero (XMR)

Monero (XMR) was one of Thursday’s notable gainers, with prices climbing for a third consecutive session.

XMR/USD rose to a high of $163.19 earlier in today’s session, which comes a day after the token fell to a low of $155.83.

As a result of the move, XMR moved towards last Sunday’s high at $166.07, which was its strongest point since February 20.

Looking at the chart, today’s move came as monero surged above a recent resistance level at $160.00.

Overall, the surge came as the 14-day relative strength index (RSI) collided with its own ceiling at the 55.00 mark.

At the time of writing, the index is tracking at 54.86, which is its highest reading this week.

Chainlink (LINK)

On the other hand, chainlink (LINK) was mostly lower on Thursday, as the token failed to move above a key price point.

LINK/USD slipped to a low at $7.25 in today’s session — this comes after prices hit an earlier peak of $7.53.

Today’s high saw chainlink move towards its ceiling at $7.55, however bulls were unable to secure a breakout.

From the chart, it appears that the failure to move beyond $7.55 coincided with the RSI falling at a resistance of its own.

As of writing, the index is tracking at 53.16, which is below the aforementioned ceiling at 55.00.

Overall, LINK is now trading at $7.32, with sentiment in today’s session now mostly bearish.

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,...
