Biggest Movers: LTC Falls 6%, DOGE Moves to 2-Week Low

Litecoin was a notable mover on Wednesday, as the token dropped by as much as 6% in today’s session. The decline came as a red wave swept through the crypto market, leading to the global cap falling by 2% at the time of writing. Dogecoin also dropped, hitting a two-week low.

Litecoin (LTC)

Litecoin (LTC) was one of Wednesday’s biggest movers, as the token fell by as much as 6% in today’s session.

LTC/USD dropped to a bottom of $85.87 earlier in the day, less than 24 hours after hitting a high of $91.79.

The decline in price pushed litecoin to its weakest point since May 15, when it last broke out of a floor at $85.00.

From the chart, it appears that today’s move transpired as the relative strength index (RSI) fell below a support level of 50.00.

Currently, price strength is now tracking at 46.95, with the next visible floor at the 39.00 mark.

Although LTC has rebounded from an earlier low, and is now trading at $86.61, a breakout below $85.00 remains possible.

Dogecoin (DOGE)

Dogecoin (DOGE) was also in the red on Wednesday, as it fell to a multi-week low of its own.

Following a high of $0.07305 on Tuesday, DOGE/USD slipped to a low of $0.07103 in today’s session.

This drop in price pushed the meme coin to its lowest point since May 12, which is the last time it traded under $0.07000.

Overall, dogecoin has mostly consolidated between the aforementioned low, and a resistance level at $0.0750 for the past few weeks.

In order to move away from this current threshold, a ceiling of 43.00, or floor at 36.00 will need to be broken.

At the time of writing, the index is at a reading of 37.42.

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 ...
