Biggest Movers: SOL Hits Near 1-Year High, Gaining 9% on Monday

Biggest Movers: SOL Hits 1-Year High, After Gaining 9% on Monday

Solana surged to near a one-year high to start the week, as bulls pushed the cryptocurrency above the $35.00 level. Today’s surge comes as the global crypto market cap rallied, following a recent bout of consolidation. Avalanche also edged higher, surging by 5% today.

Solana (SOL)

Solana (SOL) was one of the notable gainers in the market on Monday, as the token climbed above the $35.00 mark.

Following a low of $32.29 on Sunday, SOL/USD rose to an intraday high at $35.17 to start the week.

This is the highest level the cryptocurrency has hit since November 6 last year, when the price was trading above $37.00.

Solana was one of the biggest tokens to fall following the FTX fraud scandal, however price has made steady gains since then.

Today’s surge comes as the relative strength index (RSI) rallied above a ceiling at 74.00, and now sits at 77.33.

SOL remains above $35.00 as of writing, however, bulls could begin taking profits in the coming days.

Avalanche (AVAX)

Avalanche (AVAX) made sizable gains to start the week, moving by as much as 6% higher during the day.

AVAX/USD peaked at $11.60 on Monday, which comes less than 24 hours after falling to a bottom at $10.92.

This has resulted in avalanche rising to its strongest point since October 7, when price last surpassed a ceiling at $11.70.

Earlier gains have marginally faded, with AVAX now sitting at $11.57, and this comes as the RSI hit a ceiling at 70.00.

Price strength is now hovering at 69.40, however bulls will likely look to break this mark, and force a move above 70.00 in the coming days.

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.

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.
