Biggest Movers: XRP Losing Streak Extended to a 6th Day

XRP Losing Streak Extended to a 6th Day

XRP has been one of the week’s most notable movers, with price moving lower for six straight days. The latest decline comes as the global cryptocurrency market cap fell by over 1% in today’s session. Solana also slipped, nearing a floor of $21.00 in the process.

XRP

XRP, formerly ripple, was once again in the red on Thursday, as price fell for a sixth consecutive session.

Following a high at $0.4889 on Wednesday, XRP/USD slipped to an intraday low of $0.4756 earlier in today’s session.

This resulted in the cryptocurrency closing in on a recent point of support around the $0.4670 region.

Overall, bears have controlled market momentum since a failed breakout of a resistance level at $0.5440.

At the time of writing, the relative strength index (RSI) is at 35.31, which is marginally above a floor at 31.00.

In the event the RSI reaches this point, there is a good chance that price will fall to its aforementioned floor at $0.4670.

Solana (SOL)

Solana (SOL) also edged lower in today’s session, as price neared a key support level earlier in the day.

SOL/USD hit a low of $21.28 on Thursday, which comes a day after the token peaked at a level of $22.29.

As a result of the decline, the world’s seventh largest cryptocurrency dropped towards a price floor of $21.00.

Currently, price strength is now sitting at 48.69, which is below a support level of its own at 49.00.

Should the index continue to move further away from this point, there is a strong possibility that SOL slips closer to $20.00.

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. 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 ...
