Biggest Movers: SOL Rallies Towards $30, Following 33% Surge in Price

SOL Hits Highest Point Since July, Following Saturday's Surge

Solana has undoubtedly been one of this week’s biggest gainers, with price rallying by as much as 33% in recent days. The move comes as the global crypto market cap remained mostly in the green to start the weekend. Chainlink was another big mover, hitting a three-week high.

Solana (SOL)

Solana (SOL) was on the cusp of entering the $30.00 level on Saturday, as bullish momentum continued to intensify.

SOL/USD peaked at $29.74 to start the weekend, following a low at $26.39 the day prior.

Today’s move saw solana climb to its strongest point since July 14, when price hit a high of $32.40.

Overall, solana has risen by as much as 33% in the past seven-day period, with today’s surge leading to yet another breakout on the relative strength index (RSI).

Price strength climbed beyond a ceiling at 74.00 earlier in the day, and is now at a reading of 78.90.

As a result of SOL now being significantly overbought, there is a chance that bears could be looming waiting to send the price lower.

Chainlink (LINK)

Chainlink (LINK) also surged considerably higher to start the weekend, colliding with a key resistance level in the process.

After trading at a low of $7.54 on Friday, LINK/USD peaked at $8.15 earlier in Saturday’s session.

This level has acted as a price ceiling since late July, and today’s rally is the first time LINK has hit this point since October 1.

Saturday’s move came following a breakout of a resistance level at 59.00 on the RSI, with price strength now residing at 64.71.

70.00 is the likely target for current bulls, and should they reach this desired level, LINK could be trading around $8.50.

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 ...
