Gold And Bitcoin Are Bullish At This Point: Luke Gromen

Image
Luke Gromen, a macro trader, talks about a key moment that could send both gold and Bitcoin (BTC) soaring. Gromen told Blockworks Macro in a recent interview that he thinks Bitcoin and gold will win “either way in the end.” The investment expert says that Bitcoin and gold are likely to go up when the market figures out that the US government is getting ready to print more dollars to pay for its national debt. “If the Fed (Federal Reserve) raises rates too much, they will bankrupt the United States government, and there’s nothing more bullish for gold and for Bitcoin than the moment when markets go, ‘Oh my God, they can’t raise rates more because the only way to pay the interest is if the Fed prints it.’ Obviously, the US government is not going to go nominally bankrupt. The Federal Reserve will print the difference or the US government… But that moment when the market goes, ‘Oh my God, inflation hasn’t come down. They’ve raised rates a bunch. They ...

Ripple: XRP Up 21%, Decouples from 'Altcoin' Rally

Image
XRP has created a new all-time high feat on the address activity front. A recent Analysis by on-chain metrics platform Santiment revealed that the XRP network “has now had its 2nd & 3rd largest address activity spikes of all time these past 2 days.” For context, an address is considered to be active when it becomes a direct participant in a successful transaction. So, the latest spike brings to light the refining network activity. In the recent past, whenever such an incline has been noted, the price of the asset has risen. For example, in March, the network noted its largest-ever activity spike. In the following 10 days, the asset’s price inclined by 45%.

Shiba Inu Is Struggling and Dreams Are Shattering: Can SHIB Rebound?

Image
It’s soon going to be 20 months since Shiba Inu reached its all-time high of $0.00008616. SHIB reached its ATH in October 2021 and hasn’t been able to reclaim its previous high. The dog-themed cryptocurrency is struggling to stay afloat and is now down close to 90% from its ATH.

What Does BRICS Currency Offer That the U.S. Dollar Doesn't?

Image
BRICS nations are advancing to create a new currency sidelining the U.S. dollar on the international stage. The dollar’s global reserve status could be challenged when the new currency launches and threaten America’s economy. Therefore, the U.S. dollar stands at a pivotal point in a make-or-break situation for its global existence. A total of 25 countries have shown interest in joining BRICS and accepting the new currency for cross-border transactions. Also Read: What Happens if Saudi Arabia Accepts BRICS Currency?

Synthetix (SNX) trading volume overtakes GMX, but is the DEX token rally sustainable?

Image
Volumes at Synthetix surpassed its nearest DEX competitor, but contracting user activity across decentralized exchanges could be a red flag. Synthetix weekly trading volumes surpassed $1 billion, overtaking decentralized derivatives exchange GMX to become the second-most active platform. The trading volume data from Token Terminal shows that Synthetix did more than twice the trading of GMX in the seven-day period starting May 17, thanks to Optimism (OP) token incentives for perpetual swap traders. The Synthetix (SNX) token has encountered resistance at the $2.50 level after gaining around 10.3% in the last seven days, per CoinGecko data. On the other hand, GMX and dYdX are experiencing a decline in trading activity, while their native tokens are eyeing bearish targets based on technical levels. OP incentives drive Synthetix volumes Synthetix offers perpetual futures contracts on layer-2 rollup Optimism via a decentralized application called Kwenta. The Synthetix community approved a p...

Shiba Inu: Multiple Sources Predict SHIB Price, Will it Hit $0.01?

Shiba Inu (SHIB) is one of the most popular crypto projects out there. One of the goals of SHIB fans and users is for the token’s price to hit $0.01. Many sources have made predictions about SHIB’s price for the foreseeable future. However, is $0.01 a reality? According to the fintech comparison platform Finder, SHIB prices will hit $0.00004930 by 2025. Finder polled 55 fintech specialists and industry experts on how SHIB would perform. Most of the panel (50%) were not sure that Shibarium, SHIB’s upcoming layer-2, would positively impact Shiba Inu’s price. Only 25% felt that Shibarium would have a positive impact on the asset’s price. However, it should be noted that Finder’s report is from October 2022. A lot has happened since then, and market behavior has significantly changed. On the other hand, Changelly has a more pessimistic view of SHIB. The non-custodial crypto exchange says SHIB would only be able to secure a maximum price of $0.00002694 by 2025. Furthermore, Changelly say...

Bitcoin Hovers Around $26K in What Could Become a Decisive Day

According to a renowned analyst and founder of MN Trading Michael van de Poppe, Bitcoin’s price is at a critical level. He believes the next move would significantly affect Bitcoin’s price development. He also noted the price is hovering around local lows and breaking below recognizable support. #Bitcoin still swimming around the lows. Last night we've seen a sweep of the low at $26.1K, no sweep of $25.8K yet. Today is probably the decisive day for trend-based perspectives.

Bitcoin (BTC) Recovers, But Will Upside Momentum Continue? Analyst Shares Take

Image
Commenting on the current Bitcoin price strides, popular on-chain analyst Rekt Capital said the top cryptocurrency may be forming an “exaggerated” bullish divergence on the daily RSI. advertisement He believes that despite the enthusiasm for growth, investors will be better off to understand that the key resistance for Bitcoin to breach is pegged at $27,600. With Bitcoin price notably below this highlighted resistance point, the assumption that the crypto has broken free from its major instability appears to be a fallacy in this instance. Bitcoin remains the major marker for other altcoins and with the sheer skepticism lent into the price outlook of the asset, we cannot categorically state that other altcoins are also on their path to recording major price runs.  Bitcoin Recovery: The US Economy Factor There have been a lot of factors weighing down the growth push of Bitcoin over the past few weeks and one of the latest is the i...
