Biggest Movers: BNB Hits 20-Day High, as LTC Extends Recent Gains

Litecoin rose for a sixth consecutive session to start the week, as bullish sentiment returned to cryptocurrency markets. As of writing, the global market cap is up by as much as 2.50%. BNB was also in the green, hitting a 20-day high on Monday.

Litecoin (LTC)

Litecoin (LTC) was a notable mover on Monday, as the token climbed for a sixth consecutive session.

LTC/USD raced to a peak of $92.16 earlier in the day, which comes less than 24 hours after trading at a low of $89.10.

This move has led to litecoin climbing to a key resistance level of $93.00, which was last hit on May 23.

From the chart, the recent rise seems to be a result of the relative strength index (RSI) breaking out of a ceiling at 51.00.

The index has since rallied further, hitting a resistance point at 57.00, which has resulted in earlier gains fading.

At the time of writing, LTC is trading at $91.38, with price strength at a reading of 56.05.

BNB

BNB, or binance coin, was also in the green to start the week, with prices moving to a multi-week high in the process.

Following a bottom at $307.53 on Sunday, BNB/USD rose to an intraday peak of $316.83 earlier today.

This surge saw BNB hit its highest level since May 9, when the token was trading above $320.00.

Overall, BNB is now trading 2% higher than at the same point last week, with today’s rally sending the RSI to its strongest reading since May 1.

In addition to this, the 10-day (red) moving average (MA) is also moving towards an upwards crossover with the 25-day (blue) MA.

Should this cross take place, there is a good chance that BNB will move towards a long-term ceiling at the $340.00 mark.

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,...

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 ...
