Biggest Movers: XRP Rebounds on Friday, Following Recent Decline

Biggest Movers: XRP Rebounds on Friday, Following Recent Decline

After being the victim of a red wave on Thursday, XRP rebounded in today’s session, as crypto bulls remained resilient. The global market cap is up by 0.40% at the time of writing, following a 2% drop yesterday. Stellar was another strong mover on Friday, and is currently up 2.25%

XRP

XRP was back in the green on Friday, after bulls abruptly ended a three-day win streak during yesterday’s session.

Following a low at $0.5025 on Thursday, XRP/USD moved to a peak at $0.5134 earlier in the day.

The surge saw XRP, formerly ripple, once again make strides towards a key resistance level at $0.5450.

From the chart, it appears that the rebound came as the relative strength index (RSI) climbed back above a ceiling at 47.00.

At present, price strength is now sitting at 48.72, with the next visible ceiling near the 54.00 region.

In the event this target is hit, there is a strong likelihood that XRP moves above $0.5400.

Stellar (XLM)

Stellar (XLM) was also in the green in today’s session, after two consecutive days of price declines.

XLM/USD peaked at $0.1154 earlier in the day, which comes less than 24 hours after falling to a low of $0.1122.

As a result of the decline, bulls continued to push the token away from a recent floor at $0.1100, and back on course toward resistance at $0.1320.

Today’s rebound was helped by the RSI reaching a floor of its own at 37.00, and it is now tracking at 39.87.

A ceiling at 44.00 now awaits bulls, and could be the main hurdle preventing further gains this weekend.

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. 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,...
