Bitcoin, Ethereum Technical Analysis: Bitcoin Hits 14-Month High, Following Ripple Ruling

Bitcoin Hits 14-Month High, Following Ripple Ruling

Bitcoin rose towards the $32,000 mark late on Thursday, as markets reacted to the news that a U.S. judge ruled that XRP was “not necessarily a security on its face.” The ruling was well received by the crypto world, and raised optimism that other crypto companies who are currently in legal battles with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) could also prevail.

Bitcoin

Bitcoin (BTC) was on the cusp of hitting $32,000 in the past 24 hours, following the news that XRP was not necessarily classified as a security by a U.S. judge.

BTC/USD peaked at $31,814.51 late on Thursday, after trading at a low of $30,486.69 earlier in the day.

Yesterday’s peak is the strongest point bitcoin has hit since late-May last year, which is the last time price was over $32,000.

Overall, BTC has since declined, as traders move to secure gains, resulting in the price now trading at $31,208.15.

This comes as the relative strength index (RSI) failed to break a ceiling of 66.00, and is now tracking at 62.62.

Today’s move also averted a downward crossover between the 10-day (red) moving average, and its 25-day (blue) counterpart.

Ethereum

Ethereum (ETH) was another big mover, surging above $2,000 in today’s session, which came as a result of the Ripple news.

Following a low of $1,878.81 on Thursday, ETH/USD jumped to an intraday high of $2,026.20 earlier in the day.

As a result of the rally, the world’s second largest cryptocurrency recorded its strongest level since April 19.

A downward crossover of moving averages also failed to materialize, with momentum now back in the hands of bulls.

However, similar to BTC, ethereum’s RSI failed to break out of a ceiling at 65.00, with the index now at a reading of 63.02.

At the time of writing, ethereum is trading at $1,991.99.

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 ...
