Biggest Movers: XRP, ADA Drop to Multi-Week Lows on Friday

Xrp plunged to a multi-week low in Friday’s session, as the token slipped for a third consecutive session. The move pushed prices to their lowest point since late March, with the global market cap trading 2.39% lower as of writing. Cardano also fell to a two-week low.

XRP

XRP, formerly ripple, was deep in the red on Friday, as prices fell for a third consecutive session.

Following a high of $0.4838 on Thursday, XRP/USD slipped to an intraday low of $0.4644 earlier today.

As a result of this drop, XRP fell to its lowest point since March 27, when the token was at a bottom at $0.4428.

Looking at the chart, this recent shift in momentum coincided with the 14-day relative strength index (RSI) breaking out of a floor at 57.00.

At the time of writing, the index is tracking at 42.24, which is close to a support point at 41.00.

Should price strength reach this point, then there is a good chance that XRP will hit a price floor at $0.4440.

Cardano (ADA)

Cardano (ADA) also fell to a multi-week low in today’s session, as prices moved closer to a key price floor.

ADA/USD dropped to a low of $0.3974 on Friday, less than 24 hours after trading at a peak of $0.4087.

This is the lowest level that cardano has hit since April 12, and comes following a three-day losing streak.

Similar to XRP, ADA’s decline came after the RSI moved below a floor at 52.00. It is currently at a reading of 49.18.

The next visible point of support appears to be at 45.00, and should sellers claim this zone, cardano will likely move to $0.3750.

This level is a long-term price floor, and was last hit on April 6.

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.

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 ...
