Crypto News: The Return Of FOMO

Published

on

FOMO

As we start the last week of September off and the last week of the third quarter, the bull camp certainly feels like the sentiment has changed. Last week’s XRP mega breakout rally reminded everyone of why we loved crypto in 2017. XRP’s epic run from .27 to .80 in the span of a few days brought out plenty of XRP fanboys and haters. The haters are saying that the move proves that XRP is centralized and was a pump engineering by the folks at Ripple. The fanboys, on the other hand, touted the launch of xRapid and Coil that XRP is getting closer to real-world adoption. Whether you’re an XRP hater or fanboy, the clear reason why we pumped so hard is FOMO. FOMO is very powerful in crypto land and we are glad to see it’s still alive and well in the crypto verse. In our opinion, this is the biggest crypto news of the month – the return of FOMO.

XRP price action

In looking at the XRP price action, we remain bullish on XRP as long as it remains above the 200-day moving average, which is at about .53 on this chart. A close below here would be short-term bearish in our opinion. We expect XRP to consolidate around the 200-day moving average before going on its next run.

Bitcoin

Bitcoin needs to hold 6600 or else we will most likely dump to 6400. 6600 was previous resistance that we broke through last week. A drop below will put us back in the neutral zone of 6200 to 6500 that seems like purgatory for Bitcoin. The bears come out of hibernation and say that new lows are on the way and the pessimistic forecasts of $3k and lower starting hitting the headlines.

We do believe that sentiment has changed in the markets and that sentiment is favoring the bulls now. Last week, the market ignored the CVE vulnerability, which is not what a bear market does. In a bear market, any negative news drives prices lower and bullish news is overlooked. Likewise, in a bull market, negative news is ignored and bullish news keeps the momentum going.

Ethereum

Ethereum is the last one we can get bullish on. Matter of fact, if it wasn’t for XRP last week, ETH would probably be under $200 right now. ETH is only trading above its 20-day moving average right now and has the 50-day at 267. ETH is no one even close to its 200-day moving average, which signals to trend traders that the trend remains down and that rallies in ETH are to be sold. We are already witnessing this to start the week as ETH has sold off from 245 to lows of 231. A break below 230, which was prior resistance, and we will target 220 and below again.

Electroneum

Electroneum (ETN) is one of the more popular coins on Global Coin Report and matter of fact, our most popular article ever is on Electroneum. As you can see from the CoinMarketCap chart, ETN has been making a nice run in the last week.

My colleague Ali Qamar had this to say about why Electroneum is running:

Mobile micropayments are also at the heart of Electoneum’s goals, and the project recently released its mobile payment application, in a beta-testing stage. And it seems to be working very well as testers report good news from all over the world about the way the app works and delivers the service it’s supposed to do. All those good news are driving ETN’s price up.

Over on YouTube, Crypto Rich discussed Electroneum in further detail and has been a good source of information on Electroneum and interviewed CEO Richard Ells several times.

Bottom line

The best move right now is to watch closely and wait. Another pump is coming. When no one knows, but when it does, we will be ready.

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

on

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,…
