3 Coins that Might Breakout this Week: DOGE, NPXS, SCRT – Altcoins Trading Analysis

For today’s trading news, we’re looking at three Altcoins that might breakout this week by showing bullish trends in the charts.

1. Dogecoin (DOGE)

Dogecoin (DOGE) is based on the popular “Doge” Internet meme and features a Shiba Inu on its logo. The open-source digital currency was created by Billy Markus from Portland, Oregon, and Jackson Palmer from Sydney, Australia, and was forked from Litecoin in December 2013. Dogecoin’s creators envisaged it as a fun, light-hearted cryptocurrency that would have greater appeal beyond the core Bitcoin audience since it was based on a dog meme. Tesla CEO Elon Musk posted several tweets on social media that Dogecoin is his favorite coin.

Dogecoin Price Analysis

At the time of writing, DOGE is ranked 12th cryptocurrency globally and the current price is $0.0751 AUD. Let’s take a look at the chart below for price analysis.

Last week retested the high of DOGE’s +1100% January pump to $0.1092 AUD.

Despite highly manipulated price action, traders could still hunt for lower-timeframe longs. Monday’s retest of the area between $0.0643 AUD and $0.0589 AUD showed some signs of support.

The area between $0.0532 AUD and $0.0498 AUD contains a gap that overlaps with the 0.705 retracement, which increases its chances of giving support. The level near $0.0468 AUD could also form support, although with a higher risk of breaking on a retrace to January’s open.

While the higher-timeframe market structure remains bullish, probable resistance has formed between $0.0713 AUD and $0.0856 AUD, Traders satisfied with their profits could look to exit here if the price returns to this level.

More hopeful bulls could aim for the highs near $0.0985 AUD. If the price breaks through this level, it could reach the 0.27 extension near $0.1253 AUD, with a sustained breakout possibly touching the 1.0 extension near $0.1752 AUD.

2. PundiX (NPXS)

Pundi X is a leading developer of blockchain-powered devices with the aim of transforming retail businesses with its blockchain-based point of sale solution. The solution allows retail merchants and consumers to conduct instantaneous in-store transactions on its blockchain.

The company, which has its headquarters in Singapore, has shipped its XPOS solution and devices to over 25 markets including the United States, Spain, Argentina, Korea, Australia, Colombia, Spain, and Taiwan.

NPXS Price Analysis

At the time of writing, NPXS is ranked 124th cryptocurrency globally and the current price is $0.0012 AUD. Let’s take a look at the chart below for price analysis.

February provided NPXS holders with a respectable +233% return before the price returned to a range around $0.001 to consolidate.

Monday retested a lower-timeframe 0.62 retracement level, which overlaps with a gap beginning at $0.00081 AUD. This level could provide support during the consolidation and potentially offer an aggressive entry on a local lows retest.

The gap near $0.00065 AUD provides a lower risk-reward entry, while a full retrace of January’s move could reach probable support near $0.00048 AUD, just above the February monthly open.

The recent equal highs near $0.00109 AUD cap a resistance area down to $0.00102 AUD while providing a likely near-term target. Probable resistance technically reaches up to the last significant swing high at $0.00175 AUD. Still, a break of this resistance could reach the 0.27 extension at $0.00195 AUD and potentially the 1.0 extension at $0.00253 AUD.

3. Secret (SCRT)

Secret is the native coin of the Secret Network, a decentralized network for private/secure computation. Nodes on the network (known as secret nodes) can perform generalizable computations over encrypted data, which allows smart contracts (known as secret contracts) to use private and sensitive data as inputs. Our focus is on computational privacy, not just transactional privacy. Developers can build decentralized, privacy-preserving “Secret Apps” on the network. The privacy functionality of the Secret Network is critical for many fields, including decentralized finance, Web3, machine learning, access control, and many more.

SCRT Price Analysis

At the time of writing, SCRT is ranked 151st cryptocurrency globally and the current price is $3.12 AUD. Let’s take a look at the chart below for price analysis.

Source: TradingView

SCRT launched nearly +180% upward during February before retracing on Monday to the gap beginning near $2.86 AUD.

Below this gap, the next likely areas of support begin at $2.24 AUD and $1.95 AUD in the consolidation that spawned February’s bullrun.

Equal highs near $2.98 AUD, over the resistance beginning near $2.613 AUD, provide a tempting first target. February’s swing high near $3.65 AUD gives a second target. A move through these levels could reach the .27 extension near $3.78 AUD

If the current support holds, overlapping extensions near $3.95 AUD and $4.36 AUD could hint at the next resistance areas.

Where to Buy or Trade Altcoins?

These 3 Altcoins have the highest liquidity on Binance Exchange so that would help for trading on USDT or BTC pairs. However, if you’re just looking at buying some quick and hodling then Swyftx Exchange is a popular choice in Australia.

Crypto Wallet Service Attempts To Promote Itself, Gets Firmly Rebuffed By Elon Musk

Freewallet, an online-hosted crypto wallet service attempted to promote their service by jumping on the Dogecoin bandwagon started by Elon Musk.

However, their ill-advised PR stunt promptly – and very publicly – backfired.

Heavy Criticism Due To Non-Ownership Of Keys

The company retweeted one of Elon’s many Doge-related tweets, announcing that Doge is readily available on their app.

Unfortunately for them, Twitter can often be the Wild West, and Elon Musk promptly criticized their services. Stating that the “always online” approach should not be trusted when it comes to cryptocurrency, Elon Musk replied to the promotional message with his views on their service.

Freewallet defended themselves, stating that hosting tokens on their own servers allows them to offer “bank-level” customer support and security. It’s worth mentioning that if we’re taking into account the customer support some banks offer, this may have been a poor choice of words.

“The accusations relating to this fact are never followed by a support ticket. People saying ‘stay away from Freewallet’ express prejudice towards custodial wallets because they believe that a ‘true’ blockchain wallet is supposed to leave the management of private keys to the user (no). However, there are other services (like exchanges) that have access to user private keys.”

Avid crypto users have criticized online storage for a long time, stating that an app that is always online can be attacked by bad actors – an event that, although rare, still does happen. To be fair, despite strong messages in favor of storing crypto on your own hard wallets from many sources – such as Aussie exchange Swyftx – many are still keeping their assets on exchanges. For instance, up to 92% of institutional investors do not host their own crypto assets.

Bitcoin (BTC) Hits New All-Time High as Tesla Drops in a Cool $1.5 Billion

Tesla, the world’s favorite electric car manufacturer, has announced a $1.5 billion injection into Bitcoin, sending the king of cryptocurrencies to new highs.

Within minutes of the announcement, Bitcoin catapulted past its previous high of $42,000, very nearly cracking the $44,000 barrier before a mild correction. It currently sits just about $43,000 but we expect to see some more volatility and further growth as the news spreads.

The official announcement follows several hints dropped by Telsa CEO and world’s richest man, Elon Musk, about his faith in Bitcoin. Two weeks ago, Musk changed his Twitter profile to the hashtag #Bitcoin, followed by a cryptic message simply stating “In retrospect, it was inevitable”. That announcement alone gave Bitcoin a massive 20 percent boost in value, although the gains dissipated quickly.

Musk’s Crazy Crypto Journey

Musk’s support for Bitcoin came at a time when financial markets around the world were faced with mounting instability following the WallStreetBets and GameStop saga that nearly bankrupted massive US hedge fund Melvin Capital. The fallout forced popular trading app Robinhood to halt trading, leading to widespread controversy and driving many traditional investors to consider cryptocurrency.

Musk has also been promoting the least likely of digital assets, the joke meme cryptocurrency Dogecoin (DOGE). He did so in a series of bizarre tweets involving photoshopped Lion King imagery that led many to wonder if Musk’s Twitter account had in fact been hacked. However, it seems the tweets were genuine, helping to send Dogecoin to new highs and secure it a place in the top 10 cryptocurrencies by market cap. At the time of writing, Dogecoin is up 104 percent in the past 7 days with a market growth of $6 billion.

Buy a Tesla with BTC

Along with the $1.5 billion investment, Tesla has also announced that it plans to start accepting Bitcoin as a form of payment. In its annual financial report, presented to the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the company outlines its plan to begin accepting cryptocurrency payments.

“Moreover, we expect to begin accepting bitcoin as a form of payment for our products in the near future, subject to applicable laws and initially on a limited basis, which we may or may not liquidate upon receipt,” the report reads.

The news is undoubtedly one of the biggest boosts for cryptocurrency since Bitcoin was birthed over a decade ago. With the backing of one of the world’s most successful and forward-thinking tech companies, many more businesses around the world are likely to begin accepting payments in crypto.

SpaceX CEO, Elon Musk Regrets not Buying Bitcoin in 2013

Last week, the founder of SpaceX and Tesla, Elon Musk, made headlines across cryptocurrency news outlets and other mainstream media, as he influenced a spike in the market price of cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Dogecoin following his activity on Twitter. 

In a Clubhouse chat session on January 31, the billionaire revealed his opinions about the two cryptocurrencies, saying BTC is positioned for mainstream adoption amongst other digital currencies. He also admitted to not buying the leading crypto early when his friends asked him to do so.

Musk Talked Bitcoin, Dogecoin

The CEO of SpaceX mentioned that Bitcoin is a good thing and he doesn’t hold any strong opinion for other digital currencies. “I think bitcoin is really on the verge of getting broad acceptance by sort of the conventional finance people,” Musk said, adding that it’s already late for him to join the Bitcoin bandwagon now. He regretted not buying the cryptocurrency in 2013 when his friend tried to convince him to buy it.

Moving further, Elon Musk explained why he’s always fond of the thirteenth-largest digital currency, Dogecoin (DOGE). According to him, he only tweets about the cryptocurrency occasionally just to make “jokes about Dogecoin.” Notably, the US$5.3 billion market cap cryptocurrency was originally designed as a fun cryptocurrency. 

“But fate loves irony and often as a friend of mine says that the most ironic outcome or I’d say the most entertaining outcome and the most ironic outcome would be that Dogecoin becomes the currency of earth in the future,” Musk added.

Dogecoin update

Last week, the fun cryptocurrency spiked by over 1,000 percent after being hyped by the Redditors. Although the cryptocurrency is still up by 47.7 percent on a 24hour count, the cryptocurrency price has declined to US$$0.04182, according to the information on Coingecko.
