Altcoins
Coinbase market influence: Stellar and Cardano pumping on listings hope
Last weekend was a pretty dull weekend of exchange for the cryptocurrency market with a majority of coins recording depreciating prices across the crypto-board. Following the dismal performances that were experienced throughout the weekend by digital assets, the entire crypto market has depreciated by around 1.8 percent to stand at about $211 billion according to CoinMarketCap currently.
The Dismal Performance of Crypto Market
For the past few days, the crypto market has been experiencing a shortage of crypto news that is generally used to guide prices forcing investors and merchants to rely more on technical analysis.
And with many digital assets trading close to their resistance levels, the prices of these assets have been coming under pressure as the number of people selling them is exceeding those who are willing to buy them.
While that was the scenario for the two leading cryptocurrencies, Bitcoin and Ethereum, Stellar Lumens and Cardano (ADA) have been showing dissimilar trends. The two altcoins have been bullish defying the recent market declines that have been bedeviling the crypto market by surging upwards over the last few weeks.

The two altcoins have been so defiant on the recent market declines to the extent of Stellar (XLM) appreciating so much that it has now joined the list of the top five cryptocurrencies in the world at the expense of EOS. Stellar (XLM) has appreciated by over 23% since this time last month following the news breakout that it was being considered as a possible addition to the leading crypto exchange, Coinbase, along with Cardano (ADA).
From the look of things, it appears that merchants are investing in Stellar and Cardano with the hope that the two altcoins are going to be added to the Coinbase exchange, an action that is sure to drive the demand and prices of the digital assets in question. However, for now, here is how the two cryptocurrencies and others have been performing for the past seven days.
Stellar Lumen (XLM) Technical Analysis
From the look of the things, there is no doubt that Stellar Lumen has been having a great run leading the pack of most improved cryptocurrencies with an over 8% gain in the last seven days.
On Monday, Stellar (XLM) even overtook XRP which managed to surge by 10.71 percent to currently trading at $0.265 with a market cap of about 5.1 billion US dollars.
1-day Chart
From the 1-day chart, Stellar Lumen’s downward trend is fluctuating between 0.27 US dollars and 0.26 US dollars and its upward trend is hovering between 0.28 US dollars and 0.29 US dollars.
According to our observations, the resistance level that was formed in September is yet to be broken with the trend lines creating an ascending triangle that indicates a further price surge in the coming days.
Cardano (ADA) Technical Analysis
On Sunday, Cardano (ADA) appreciated by 1.99 percent following an almost similar price hike of 1.14 percent on Saturday. The weekend gain played a crucial role in changing the tides of the cryptocurrency since it assisted it in reversing the losses that had been experienced earlier in the week to leave the altcoin at 0.077 US dollars.
On Sunday, Cardano (ADA) experienced an intraday low of 0.7422 US dollars following an early afternoon sell-off that forced the cryptocurrency to call on support at its first major support level at 0.0748 US dollars. It was followed by a broad-based market rally that was experienced in the afternoon driving Cardano’s (ADA) prices back to the 0.077 US dollars levels by the end of the day.
At the time of writing, Cardano is the 8th largest cryptocurrency in the market with a market cap of about 1.94 billion US dollars.
As per the last 24 hours price charts, both Stellar and Cardano stand in red as we write this article but are expected to be trading in green shortly again.

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 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 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,…
