Biggest Movers: SHIB MATIC Fall 5% Lower on Wednesday Hitting 1-Week Low

SHIB, MATIC Fall 5% Lower on Wednesday, Hitting 1-Week Low

Shiba inu was down by as much as 5% on Wednesday, as the meme coin slipped to a one-week low in today’s session. Market uncertainty has heightened in recent days, following the news that Prime Trust has been placed into receivership. Additionally, traders’ nerves increased ahead of Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell’s latest speech.

Shiba Inu (SHIB)

Shiba inu (SHIB) fell by nearly 5% in today’s session, as traders reacted to several points of macro-economic news.

After surging to a peak of $0.000007668 on Tuesday, SHIB/USD dropped to an intraday bottom at $0.000007261 earlier in the day.

This drop saw bearish sentiment marginally increase, with short sellers now seemingly targeting a floor at $0.00000640.

Overall, SHIB has fallen for three of the last six days, pushing its relative strength index (RSI) to a current low at 41.89.

As a result of this, the index fell below a support point at 46.00, and now seems to be heading for a lower floor at 40.00.

Should it reach this point, there is a good chance that the meme coin will be trading under the $0.00000700 mark.

Polygon (MATIC)

In addition to SHIB, polygon (MATIC) also edged lower on Wednesday, falling to a one-week low in the process.

MATIC/USD bottomed out at $0.6293 earlier in the day, which comes following Tuesday’s peak at $0.6713.

The drop in prices resulted in polygon falling to its lowest point since June 20, when it reached a low of $0.5913.

From the chart, this decline comes despite momentum appearing to be bullish, with the 10-day (red) moving average nearing an upwards cross with its 25-day (blue) counterpart.

Additionally, price strength has fallen below a floor at 39.00, and is tracking at 38.63 as of writing.

In the event MATIC continues to decline, a likely target for bears will be an upcoming support zone at $0.580.

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 ...
