XRP and TRON are Once Again Bearish

Published

XRP and Tron

The crypto market has been taking a turn lately, with a lot of coins seeing more gains than ever in the last three months. Some of them even managed to repair the damage done by the mid-November market crash, which followed after the BCH hard fork. However, not all coins are faring equally, and XRP and TRON (TRX) are clear examples of this.

XRP price continues to decline

XRP spent the last three months performing rather well when compared to the rest of the market. It even managed to overtake the second spot on the list of largest coins by market cap, pushing Ethereum (ETH) to third place. The rivalry between the two only ever included the fight for the second spot, with Ethereum typically being the winner.

While XRP did overtake the position for months, Ethereum has finally managed to grow enough to return to the second place. In fact, ETH has been performing particularly well during the new bullish period, while XRP is experiencing losses. This has been going on for a while now, with XRP price either being dormant or dropping, without any significant increases.

As a result, the downward trend is expected to continue even while the rest of the market experiences gains. At the time of writing, the XRP price is at $0.316, right beneath the resistance level which sits at $0.34.

TRON (TRX) experiences drop as well

While the situation regarding XRP does not indicate that a change is in sight, a similar thing can be said for TRX. The coin’s price has been gradually dropping ever since January 27th, when it surged to reach the price of  $0.030. Since then, TRX was experiencing drops, followed by slight recoveries, only to drop again.

At the time of writing, its price is at $0.0254, and while the coin is currently seeing 1.43% growth, it is likely that this is just another short attempt at recovery before the next drop. Its most notable resistance currently lies at $0.028, which TRX attempted to reach several times, albeit unsuccessfully.

Meanwhile, the most notable support lies at $0.023, putting the coin’s current price halfway between the major support and resistance.

While the coin can go either way from here, the decline in its price has been just as constant as the one in XRP’s case, which makes it likely that the price will continue to go down, if the support doesn’t hold. Due to the dropping price, TRON’s market cap dropped as well, with the TRX currently holding the 9th spot on the list of largest coins by market cap. However, if the drop continues, it is possible that TRON will continue to sink rank-wise, and that it will be replaced by Binance Coin, which currently occupies the 10th position.

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,…
