Biggest Movers: BCH Hits 1-Year High as EDX Markets Rally Intensifies

BCH Hits 1-Year High, as EDX Markets Rally Intensifies

Bitcoin cash rose to a one-year high on Tuesday, as traders continued to buy the token following last week’s EDX markets listing. The newly formed exchange, which is backed by the likes of Citadel, Sequoia Capital and Fidelity, listed the coin in its offering. Litecoin was another token added to the exchange.

Bitcoin Cash (BCH)

Bitcoin cash (BCH) was one of Tuesday’s notable gainers, as the token surged to a one-year high.

Following a low of $197.30 to start the week, BCH/USD raced to an intraday peak of $236.64 earlier in the day.

As a result of today’s peak bitcoin cash moved nearly 18% higher, hitting its strongest point since May 2022 in the process.

From the chart, a breakout above a ceiling at 80.00 on the relative strength index (RSI) appears to be one of the reasons for today’s surge.

The index is now tracking at 82.55, which is deep in overbought territory, and comes as price rose by 120% in the last seven days.

Bears are likely already circling the token, anticipating a potential change in direction in the coming days.

Litecoin (LTC)

Litecoin (LTC) was another token to be listed on the EDX platform, however prices have not risen to the extent of BCH.

LTC/USD snapped a three-day losing streak on Tuesday, climbing to a peak of $89.90 earlier in the day.

This comes less than 24 hours after the cryptocurrency fell to a bottom at $86.42, despite a recent crossover of moving averages.

The 10-day (red) moving average rose above its 25-day (blue) counterpart, which typically signals bullish momentum.

In order for this to truly materialize, a breakout of an upcoming ceiling at 58.00 on the RSI will need to occur.

As of writing, price strength is now tracking at 56.30.

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 ...

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.

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,...
