Biggest Movers: XRP Surges to 2-Week High, SOL Maintained Recent Momentum

XRP extended a recent bull run on Friday, as the token moved to its highest point in the past two weeks. Today’s move came as the cryptocurrency marginally broke past a key resistance level. Solana was also in the green, as price rose for a fourth straight day, nearing the $20.00 mark in the process.

XRP

XRP was a notable gainer on Friday, as the cryptocurrency climbed higher for a fourth straight session.

XRP/USD peaked at a high of $0.5051 earlier in the day, which comes a day after trading at a low of $0.4824.

As a result of today’s gains, XRP, formerly ripple, rose to its highest point since September 1, when price traded at a high of $0.5115.

Looking at the chart, the move occurred after the token broke out of a resistance level at $0.4920.

This took place as the relative strength index (RSI) briefly escaped a ceiling of its own around the 38.00 mark.

Price strength now sits at 38.42, with the next visible point of resistance at 42.00.

Solana (SOL)

Solana (SOL) maintained a bull run of its own today, as it too rose higher for a fourth consecutive day.

Following a low of $18.77 on Thursday, SOL/USD edged to a high of $19.26 earlier in today’s session.

The rally saw solana once again break out of a ceiling at $19.20, however like yesterday bulls were unable to maintain this move.

At the time of writing, SOL has since edged lower, and is now trading at $18.95, with the RSI hovering near a hurdle of its own.

The index is now tracking at 41.98, which is just below the aforementioned resistance level of 42.00.

In order to push towards $20.00, solana bulls need to force a breakout in the coming days.

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.

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,...
