Biggest Movers: XRP Hits Fresh 5-Month High on Tuesday, Extending Recent Win Streak

Xrp rose to a fresh five-month high on Tuesday, as prices climbed for a fourth straight session. The token moved to its highest point since November, which comes despite a red wave sweeping over cryptocurrency markets. The global market cap is down 2.35% as of writing.

XRP

XRP, formerly ripple, rose for a fourth consecutive session on Monday, as prices hit their highest point in five months.

XRP/USD surged to an intraday high at $0.5029, less than 24 hours after falling to a low of $0.4573.

As a result of the move, XRP hit its strongest point since November 6, breaking out of a ceiling at $0.4950 in the process.

Looking at the chart, the 14-day relative strength index (RSI) moved to a one-week high, with a current reading of 68.87.

This is marginally below resistance at 69.00, and close to a recent seven-month high at 74.00.

Earlier gains in XRP have already begun to ease, with bulls seemingly securing gains around this ceiling.

Monero (XMR)

During today’s red wave, monero (XMR) was a notable token to fall, as prices moved to a five-day low.

Following a high of $163.98 to start the week, XMR/USD slipped to a bottom at $149.85 earlier in today’s session.

The drop sees monero fall by as much as 7%, edging closer to a long-term support point at $146.00 in the process.

Whilst price has yet to reach this floor, the RSI collided with a support point of its own at the 49.00 mark.

Bulls have since pushed the index higher, with price strength now tracking at 50.08, which comes as XMR moved away from earlier lows.

Currently, monero is tracking at $154.03, with a move towards a ceiling at $156.00 a strong possibility.

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,...
