Biggest Movers: SHIB Nears 6-Month Low, Whilst LTC Drops by 4% on Wednesday

Shiba inu moved closer to a six-month low on Wednesday, as sentiment in cryptocurrency markets shifted bearish. Litecoin was another notable token to fall, slipping by over 4% today. The global market cap is currently down by over 2% at the time of writing.

Shiba Inu (SHIB)

Shiba inu (SHIB) fell below a key support point earlier in today’s session, moving closer to a six-month low as a result.

Following a high of $0.000008784 on Tuesday, SHIB/USD dropped to a intraday low of $0.000008398 earlier in the day.

This drop resulted in the meme coin falling below a key support point of $0.000008500, approaching its lowest point since January 8.

From the chart, it appears that the latest decline comes as the 14-day relative strength index (RSI) moved towards a floor at 32.00.

At the time of writing, the index is tracking at 33.76, following a failed breakout of a ceiling at 44.00.

Should price strength fall to the aforementioned support point, there is a good chance SHIB will hit a new six-month low.

Litecoin (LTC)

Litecoin (LTC) was another notable mover on Wednesday, as prices plunged by as much as 4%.

LTC/USD dropped to a low of $88.35 earlier in the day, which comes less than 24 hours after hitting a high at $92.59.

It appears that this latest decline comes following a failed breakout attempt of a ceiling at the $93.50 mark in recent days.

In addition to this point of resistance, the RSI ran into a hurdle of its own at the 57.00 mark.

As of writing, the index is tracking at 50.35, which is marginally above a recent support at the 50.00 level.

LTC has somewhat rebounded from earlier lows and at the time of writing, is trading at $89.08.

Deep Web Roundup: Dream Adds Monero and Bitcoin Tumbler “Chip Mixer” Launches

The darknet has been quiet of late, which is the way it’s meant to be. No news means no mega busts, honeypots, or mass market shutdowns. Even when it’s out of the spotlight though, the deep web is quietly making news, whether trialling the latest privacy coins or the newest coin mixers that promise to restore a little of the privacy that’s being stripped away from bitcoin users on a daily basis.

Chip Mixer is a relatively new bitcoin tumbler that’s designed to restore some of that privacy. Available on both the clearnet and darknet, the service uses a variety of techniques to obfuscate blockchain m...
