Biggest Movers: TON Closes In on $2 After News of Telegram Partnership

Biggest Movers: TON Closes in on $2, After News of Telegram Partnership

Toncoin moved closer to the $2.00 level on Wednesday, as markets reacted to the protocol’s partnership with Telegram. The agreement will see the token made available to over 800 million Telegram Wallet users. Stellar, on the other hand, was significantly lower, falling by nearly 8% today.

Toncoin (TON)

Toncoin (TON) was one of today’s biggest movers, as markets were buoyed by the news that it was partnering with Telegram.

Following a low of $1.73 on Tuesday, TON/USD rose to an intraday peak of $1.95 earlier in the day.

This surge resulted in toncoin rising by as much as 13%, nearing a recent high of $2.05 in the process.

Looking at the chart, the move led to the relative strength index (RSI) colliding with a ceiling at the 66.00 level.

Earlier gains have since faded as a result of a failed breakout beyond this point, leading to TON now trading at $1.93.

In order to move above $2.00, the aforementioned ceiling on the RSI must first be broken.

Stellar (XLM)

On the other side of the spectrum was stellar (XLM), which dropped by over 8% in today’s session.

XLM/USD bottomed out at $0.1195 on Wednesday, less than 24 hours after residing at a high of $0.1318.

This drop in price sees the token fall for a third consecutive day, falling below a floor at $0.1200 in the process.

It appears that today’s sell-off coincided with the RSI failing to remain above a point of support at 49.00.

Price strength is now tracking at 44.53, with the next visible zone of stability around the 37.00 region.

In the event that this level is reached, XLM will likely be trading under $0.1100.

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 ...
