Biggest Movers: MATIC Extends Bull Run, SHIB Falls for 5th Straight Day

Polygon climbed higher for a third straight session on Monday, as the token continued to move away from a recent support point. After a mostly bearish weekend, crypto markets eased back into the green to start the week. Shiba inu was a notable exception, as it extended a recent downtrend.

Polygon (MATIC)

Polygon (MATIC) continued to move away from a recent support point of $0.5380 on Monday, as bulls’ momentum made a partial return to the market.

After trading at a low of $0.5479 on Sunday, MATIC/USD surged to an intraday peak of $0.5624 earlier today.

The rally saw polygon climb for a third straight day, pushing price closer to a one-week high in the process.

From the chart, it appears that the surge took place as the 14-day relative strength index (RSI) broke out of a ceiling at 31.00.

As of writing, price strength is now tracking at 33.61, which is its highest point since August 16.

Should momentum continue to surge, the next target for bulls will likely be around the 43.00 mark.

Shiba Inu (SHIB)

Shiba inu (SHIB) dropped lower for a fifth straight session to start the week, hitting a six-day low in the process.

SHIB/USD fell to a bottom of $0.000007911 earlier in the day, following a high of $0.000008118 the day prior.

However, as the day progressed, the cryptocurrency has rallied, and as of writing is currently trading at $0.000008156.

This comes as the RSI bounced from a floor of 40.00, and is now tracking at 43.93, marginally below a ceiling of 45.00.

In the event that this upcoming resistance point is broken, it is likely SHIB will move past $0.00000850.

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 ...
