6 cryptocurrencies to watch during this crypto market carnage time

Published

Crypto

The cryptocurrency market tends to go bearish once we go past Monday/Tuesday and approach weekends, even in good times. These are not good times at all, so it’s kind of doubtful that any coin at all will make progress on the coming weekend. Bitcoin and Ethereum are in free fall. But a handful of assets have had exciting developments over the last few hours. Let’s explore them a little.

Bitcoin Gold

Bitcoin Gold is acquiring value seemingly out of nowhere. While this is remarkable in the midst of a dramatically bearish market, it makes you wonder what will happen with this coin in the long run.

It’s a token with no real use cases, so its price is driven by speculative pressure above all, which is not a good thing because that just increases the probability of a sudden drop that will come out of nowhere, just as the rise came.

Bitcoin Diamond

Yet another Bitcoin fork. These forks have been gathering lots of attention lately, especially after Bitcoin Cash’s fiasco of a hard fork, that took away 75% of its previous value since last November 15th. But some forks have been performing well, such as the aforementioned Bitcoin Gold, and, Bitcoin Diamond that has recently risen in value by about 20% to reach $1 mark.

Revain

It’s been an interesting asset to follow for several weeks already. The price has a momentum of its own right now, which is remarkable in the current market conditions. However, in the last 24 hours, Revain lost 9.19% of its value too but still, it’s a good cryptocurrency to keep an eye on.

Ardor

This currency is a bit obscure, so nobody seems to be giving it a lot of attention at the time being. That is a little weird because coins that grow in value usually get noticed by the market, and Ardor has had some strong gains in the last few days.

Before going down by 3% today, it’s grown by 5% in only a few hours and has been going against the bearish trend very successfully. It will be quite interesting to follow this altcoin during the weekend and see how far it can go in fighting the current market’s trend.

Quarkchain

In the past few weeks, Quarkchain’s price went up several times over, and it’s repeating the feet today. The QKC token has gained around 2.35% in the last 24 hours.

That’s an interesting development to follow from here until coming Monday to keep track of how far forward it can move. It’s one of the very few markets in the top 100 coins by market capitalization that’s managed some real gains which is striking on its own merits.

Nexo

The last currency that has been going up significantly as we look for crypto market’s carnage time winners is Nexo. While it’s not exactly a noisy coin on the price list, it’s gained accountable value even in the current ‘severe’ crypto market bloodbath. This alone suggests that things are looking good for Nexo right now. The problem for this altcoin will be to sustain its rhythm and to keep going on over the weekend.

So now you have a few interesting coins you can use for crypto-spotting in the next few days (and beyond). Watch them carefully and enjoy the hard times of crypto too (it’s always better to not take hairs our of your head when something goes the other way).

Solana Price Surges Beyond $100, Dethroning Ripple and BNB To Secure Fourth Place

Published

on

By

Solana price performance in recent times has been remarkable, surpassing Ripple and Binance Coin to become the fourth-largest cryptocurrency by market cap. The SOL price breached the critical level of $100 for the first time since April 2022 over the weekend to imbue optimism among investors. However, the altcoin has corrected by 7%, suggesting that the market is overheated. At the time of writing, the ‘Ethereum killer’ was trading slightly lower at $111.60.

SOL Outlook

Solana price has made a significant recovery over the past few weeks, climbing above the psychological level of $100. The altcoin has been one of the best-performing assets this year, extending its year-to-date gains to more than 1,025%, with more gains recorded in the past month alone. However, even with such growth, analysts have noted that Solana has a bleak chance of topping its ATH of $260.

The reason behind this is the increase in supply relative to its value. In November 2021, when the Solana price hit its all-time high of $260, its total market capitalization was around $78 billion. Despite the value of the crypto asset being less than half of what it was at the top, its market cap is currently hovering near $50 billion.

This has been brought about by the increase in the Solana supply by more than 100 million SOL over the past two years. According to some analysts, for the altcoin to retest $260, its…

Solana Price Skyrockets to 20-Month Peak Amidst Memecoin Frenzy

Published

on

By

Solana price has noted significant gains over the past few weeks, climbing to its highest level since April 2022. The ‘Ethereum Killer’ almost topped the crucial level of $100 on Friday, before pulling back slightly. The asset’s recent surge has catapulted Solana’s total market cap to $39.6 billion, ranking 5th after and above BNB and XRP, respectively. Solana has jumped by more than 22% in the past week and more than 80% in the month to date. At the time of writing, SOL price was trading 0.90% lower at $93.10.

Catalysts Behind SOL’s Rally

Solana price has been on a strong bull run over the past few days, rocketing to its highest level in 20 months as the network benefits from the substantial activity and strong interest in memecoins. The SOL token, the native digital asset of the high-performance blockchain platform Solana, has shown some serious strength over the past few weeks, outperforming all the altcoins in the market.

The recent surge in the Solana price has been linked to heightened on-chain activities on the Solana blockchain. Notably, the ongoing hype for the blockchain’s speedy transactions, cheap fees, and a lottery of meme coin issuances has buoyed SOL’s on-chain activity. Metrics have revealed that Solana has been the strongest draw among on-chain traders, with trading volumes and network fees outperforming Ethereum- the largest altcoin by market cap.

Solana Price Breaches $60 Amid a Symphony of Bullish Indicators

Published

By

Solana price has jumped more than 8% over the past week, breaching the important level of $60. At the time of writing, Solana was trading 3% higher at $61.07. The asset’s total market cap has climbed to $25.9 billion over the past week, ranking it the 6th largest cryptocurrency after XRP. The total volume of SOL traded over the last day has declined by 8%.

SOL’s Bullish Cues

Solana’s price has been among the best-performing cryptocurrencies this year amid continuous growth. The “Ethereum killer” has consistently impressed investors throughout the year on the back of a resurgence in bullishness, which saw SOL’s price climb more than 513% in the year to date. Institutional investors have also shared the bullish sentiment, making Solana their most preferred altcoin.

In the week ending November 24, Solana recorded inflows worth nearly $3.5 million, significantly more than the other altcoins’ inflows combined. The asset’s monthly inflows were higher at $40.2 million, lower than Ethereum’s $99.6 million inflows in the same period. Other altcoins, including Litecoin and Ethereum, noted significant outflows, making Solana nearly half of the home for DeFi. This implies that when it comes to institutions, Solana is currently the best-performing altcoin with the potential of a long-term rally much higher than other digital assets.

Notably, the Solana DeFi ecosystem accomplished a significant milestone earlier this week. Its Total Value Locked (TVL) hit a new yearly peak of over $655 million,…
