Biggest Movers: XRP Hits 1-Month High, SOL Back Above $20

Biggest Movers: XRP Hits 1-Month High, SOL Back Above $20

XRP was one of Friday’s notable crypto gainers, rallying to a one-month high earlier in today’s session. Bullish sentiment returned to end the week, with the global market cap trading nearly 1.5% higher as of writing. Solana also surged, moving back above the $20.00 mark.

XRP

XRP, formerly ripple, was one of today’s biggest movers, climbing by as much as 5% earlier in the day.

Following a low of $0.5036 yesterday, XRP/USD raced to a peak of $0.5455 during Friday’s session.

This resulted in the token hitting its highest point since August 29, which is the last time price hit a ceiling of $0.5490.

Looking at the chart, it appears that the move came as the 14-day relative strength index (RSI) rose beyond a ceiling of its own at 56.00.

As of writing, the index is tracking at 58.67, with the next visible point of support near the 60.00 mark.

In the event the 60.00 ceiling is broken, there is a good chance that XRP will climb beyond $0.5500.

Solana (SOL)

In addition to XRP, solana (SOL) also rallied strongly on Friday, rising above $20.00 in the process.

SOL/USD climbed to a high of $20.32 earlier in today’s session, following Thursday’s low at $19.22.

This surge has seen solana hit a nine-day high, which comes after three straight days of bullish momentum.

Overall, the uptrend comes as the 10-day (red) moving average rose above its 25-day (blue) counterpart.

Bulls are likely now targeting a higher resistance level of $21.00, which would result in a four-week high.

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 ...
