Biggest Movers: SOL Gains 10% BCH Hits Fresh 1-Year High

SOL 10% Higher, as BCH Hits Fresh 1-Year High

Solana surged 10% on June 29, after it was confirmed that a new cross-chain bridge will allow users easier access to other blockchains. The update from Debridge will reportedly enable solana users to access ethereum’s virtual machine for the first time. Bitcoin cash extended its own gains on Thursday.

Solana (SOL)

Solana (SOL) was a notable mover in today’s session, as the price rose by over 10%.

Following a low of $15.75 during Wednesday’s session, SOL/USD jumped to a peak of $18.20 earlier in the day.

This resulted in the world’s ninth largest cryptocurrency climbing to its highest point in the past 20 days.

As a result of the rally, the 10-day (red) moving average is now on the cusp of an upward crossover with its 25-day (blue) counterpart.

Additionally, the relative strength index (RSI) appears to be nearing a breakout of a resistance point around the 51.00 level.

The index is currently tracking at 50.87, with SOL at $17.35, after giving up earlier gains.

Bitcoin Cash (BCH)

Bitcoin cash (BCH) was in the green on Thursday, racing to a fresh multi-month high in the process.

BCH/USD surged to an intraday high of $247.64 earlier in the day, a day after dropping to a bottom at $223.50.

As a result of this latest rally, BCH moved to its strongest point since May 11 last year, when price peaked at $249.00.

This latest move comes as the RSI once again broke out of a ceiling at the 80.00 level, after dropping below this point the day prior.

Currently, the index is tracking at 81.72, which remains deep in overbought territory, and could prompt bears to reenter the market.

Despite this, traders will likely attempt to reach a target at $250.00 first, before any inevitable sell-offs.

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,...
