Biggest Movers: XRP Nears 5-Month High to Start the Week, Despite Crypto Market Consolidation

Xrp moved back towards a five-month high on Monday, as prices surged for a third straight session. The token formerly known as ripple was one of the very few gainers to start the week, as markets mostly consolidated. Polygon edged closer to a multi-week low to start the week.

XRP

XRP, formerly ripple, rose for a third consecutive session on Monday, as prices neared a five-month high.

Following a low of 0.4438 on Sunday, XRP/USD raced to an intraday high of $0.4877 earlier in today’s session.

As a result of the move, XRP moved closer to a recent high of $0.4940, which is the strongest point the token has hit since November 6.

Looking at the chart, this latest rally comes as the relative strength index (RSI) moved towards a ceiling at 70.00.

As of writing, the index is tracking at 66.91, and should it pass the 70.00 mark, then XRP will likely hit a fresh multi-month high.

A long-term ceiling at the $0.5000 mark could potentially be a target for current bulls in the market.

Polygon (MATIC)

Polygon (MATIC), moved lower to start the week, with the token falling towards a recent support point.

MATIC/USD fell to a bottom at $1.08, which comes a day after prices were trading at a high of $1.12.

Overall, polygon is now on the brink of colliding with the $1.05 floor, which was last hit on March 12.

From the chart, it looks like a downward cross has taken place between the 10-day (red), and 25-day (blue) moving averages.

In addition to this, the RSI is now tracking at 43.62, which is marginally above a resistance level of 43.00.

Should momentum continue to fall, there is a strong possibility that MATIC will move below $1.00.

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.

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,...
