Biggest Movers: MATIC Moves to Highest Point Since August

Biggest Movers: MATIC Moves to Highest Point Since August

Polygon surged to its strongest level since the end of August, as the token extended recent gains. The rally comes despite cryptocurrencies mostly consolidating on Wednesday, following recent declines. XRP was another notable gainer today.

Polygon (MATIC)

Polygon (MATIC) rose for a back-to-back session on Wednesday, hitting a multi-week high in the process.

MATIC/USD moved to an intraday high of $0.5937 in today’s session, which comes following a low of $0.5523 the day before.

This resulted in polygon climbing to its highest point since August 29, when the price peaked at $0.6355.

Looking at the chart, the surge saw the relative strength index (RSI) rise past a ceiling at the 62.00 zone.

Currently, the index is now at a reading of 62.76, with an upcoming resistance level at the 70.00 point.

A crossover between the 10-day (red) and 25-day (blue) moving averages also seems to be one of the reasons for today’s rally.

XRP

XRP was another big mover on Wednesday, as the price attempted to break out of a key resistance level.

After Tuesday’s low at $0.5075, XRP/USD rallied to an intraday high of $0.5449 during today’s session.

As a result of this surge, the world’s fifth-largest cryptocurrency briefly rose past a ceiling at $0.5400.

Earlier gains have since edged lower, which comes as the RSI fell below a ceiling at the 62.00 mark.

The index has since dropped further, and is now tracking at 56.57, and seems to be heading towards a floor of 51.00.

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,...

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 ...
