Biggest Movers: LTC, SOL Climb to 1-Week Highs on Monday

Solana extended recent gains on Monday, as the token rose to a one-week high, following recent declines. The token dropped below the $20.00 level last week, as a red wave hit cryptocurrency markets. Litecoin was also higher today, climbing by nearly 7%.

Solana (SOL)

Solana (SOL) rose to a one-week high on Monday, as momentum shifted following a recent bear run.

SOL/USD surged to a peak of $21.49 earlier in today’s session., which comes after Sunday’s low of $20.65.

As a result of this rally, solana moved to its strongest point since last Monday, when price was close to $22.00.

One of the catalysts of today’s gains came as the 14-day relative strength index (RSI) broke out of a ceiling at 45.00.

The index is now tracking at 48.31, which is its highest reading in almost ten days of trading.

Should current sentiment extend throughout the week, there is a good chance SOL will near its long-term resistance at $24.00.

Litecoin (LTC)

Additionally, litecoin (LTC) also moved higher in today’s session, with price climbing by as much as 7%.

Following a low of $81.75 on Sunday, LTC/USD raced to an intraday high of $87.54 earlier in the day.

This jump resulted in the token reaching its highest point since March 6, which is the last time LTC was trading close to the $90.00 mark.

From the chart, a breakout of the RSI has also occurred here, with a ceiling at 51.00 being broken.

At the time of writing, price strength is now at the 54.15 mark, with the next visible point of resistance being 58.00.

There is a strong possibility that litecoin could move above $90.00 in the coming days.

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.

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.
