Top 3 Coins to Watch Today: XLM, BAT, ICP – August 10 Trading Analysis

Let’s take a closer look at today’s altcoins showing breakout signals. We’ll explain what the coin is, then dive into the trading charts and provide some analysis to help you decide.

1. Stellar (XLM)

Stellar XLM is an open network that allows money to be moved and stored. When it was released, the goal was boosting financial inclusion by reaching the world’s unbanked – but soon after, its priorities shifted to helping financial firms connect with one another via blockchain technology. The network’s native token, lumens, serves as a bridge that makes it less expensive to trade assets across borders. All of this aims to challenge existing payment providers who often charge high fees for a similar service.

XLM Price Analysis

At the time of writing, XLM is ranked the 27th cryptocurrency globally and the current price is US$0.1225. Let’s take a look at the chart below for price analysis:

Source: TradingView

XLM set a high near $0.2457 in Q2 before retracing nearly 80% to find a low near $0.1038. The price consolidated around this level before the strong bullish impulse over the past several days.

Probable resistance near $0.1320 is slowing the bullish advance down. However, another leg may target the last swing high at $0.1426 and relatively equal highs at $0.1530. Resistance near $0.1659 could cap the move before the second swing high. Beyond these levels, little stands in the bulls’ way before reaching the swing high near $0.1846.

A retracement before a move higher might find support in the daily gap near $0.1204, just above the weekly open. Relatively equal lows near $0.1135 could also provide support. Run-on stops at $0.1064 and $0.09574 may find support in the gap beginning near $0.08912.

Basic Attention Token BAT is the token that powers a new blockchain-based digital advertising platform designed to fairly reward users for their attention while providing advertisers with a better return on their ad spend. The Basic Attention Token itself is the unit of reward in this advertising ecosystem and is exchanged between advertisers, publishers and users. Advertisers pay for their advertising campaigns in BAT tokens. Out of this budget, a small portion is distributed to advertisers, while 70% is distributed to users – whereas the intermediaries that typically drive up advertising costs are cut out of the equation to improve cost-efficiency.

At the time of writing, BAT is ranked the 67th cryptocurrency globally and the current price is US$0.4518. Let’s take a look at the chart below for price analysis:

Source: TradingView

BAT has dropped nearly 75% from its Q2 2022 high and 89% from its November 2021 all-time high.

Support might have formed last week from $0.3734 to $0.4065 and should hold if bulls are ready for a bounce. This zone overlaps with an inefficiently traded area on the weekly chart from $0.3653 to $0.3394.

If this level breaks, bears may target an inefficiently traded area on the monthly chart from $0.3147 to $0.3032. Below this level, $0.2845 to $0.2780 could provide support after a run on bulls’ stops under the Q4 2020 lows into an area of significant accumulation.

The closest resistance begins near $0.4983. This level has confluence with the 9 EMA and a brief consolidation before May 11’s spike downward.

A more significant rally might find resistance near $0.5540. This level is inefficiently traded and has confluence with the lows of last summer’s accumulation and the 18 EMA.

If the market becomes more bullish, $0.6245 may provide the next resistance. This level is slightly above the May monthly open, overlaps with multiple old lows, and aligns with the 40 EMA.

3. Internet Computer (ICP)

The Internet Computer ICP is the world’s first blockchain that runs at web speed with unbounded capacity. It also represents the third major blockchain innovation, alongside Bitcoin and Ethereum. The Internet Computer scales smart contract computation and data, runs them at web speed, processes and stores data efficiently, and provides powerful software frameworks to developers. By making this possible, it enables the complete re-imagination of software, providing a revolutionary new way to build tokenised internet services, pan-industry platforms, decentralised financial systems, and even traditional enterprise systems and websites.

ICP Price Analysis

At the time of writing, ICP is ranked the 35th cryptocurrency globally and the current price is US$7.83. Let’s take a look at the chart below for price analysis:

Source: TradingView

ICP has dropped 60% from its most recent Q2 high as it continues its nine-month downtrend. The edge of the recent swing’s lower candle bodies could provide the closest support, near $6.42. This level overlaps with the 100% extension of June’s opening rally.

Currently, the price is testing possible resistance near $8.20. This level has confluence with the 9 EMA. It is unclear if it will hold as resistance, but it’s reasonable to anticipate a run above bears’ stops at $8.75.

If the price breaks through this resistance, it may find its next resistance near $8.97. This level is near the midpoint of May 12’s swing low and the midpoint of an inefficiently traded area on the weekly chart.

A rally this high may reach slightly higher, near $9.15. This area formed the base of the June opening rally, shows inefficient trading on the daily chart, and is at the low end of May’s accumulation range.

Below, there is no historical price action to suggest possible support. The next downside targets may be near $6.70 and $5.92. These approximate levels are near the 150% and 200% extensions of June’s opening rally.

Top 3 Coins to Watch Today: XLM, IOST, DOT – June 29 Trading Analysis

Let’s take a closer look at today’s altcoins showing breakout signals. We’ll explain what the coin is, then dive into the trading charts and provide some analysis to help you decide.

1. Stellar (XLM)

Stellar XLM is an open network that allows money to be moved and stored. When it was released, the goal was boosting financial inclusion by reaching the world’s unbanked – but soon after, its priorities shifted to helping financial firms connect with one another via blockchain technology. The network’s native token, lumens, serves as a bridge that makes it less expensive to trade assets across borders. All of this aims to challenge existing payment providers who often charge high fees for a similar service.

XLM Price Analysis

At the time of writing, XLM is ranked the 24th cryptocurrency globally and the current price is US$0.1164. Let’s take a look at the chart below for price analysis:

Source: TradingView

XLM set a high near $0.2357 in Q2 before retracing nearly 70% to find a low near $0.1058. The price consolidated around this level before the strong bullish impulse over the past several days.

Probable resistance near $0.1370 is slowing the bullish advance down. However, another leg might target the last swing high at $0.1424 and relatively equal highs at $0.1550. Resistance near $0.1759 could cap the move before the second swing high. Beyond these levels, little stands in the bulls’ way before reaching the swing high near $0.1856.

A retracement before a move higher might find support in the daily gap near $0.1104, just above the weekly open. Relatively equal lows near $0.1035 could also provide support. Run-on stops at $0.0984 and $0.09174 might find support in the gap beginning near $0.08312.

2. Iost (IOST)

IOST‘s blockchain infrastructure is open-source and designed to be secure and scalable, all in the hope it will serve as the backbone for online services in the future. One of the biggest challenges IOST aims to resolve centres on how big companies may not be able to embrace blockchains in a customer-facing environment unless they are scalable. The Internet of Services Token is put forward as a way of tackling this problem.

IOST Price Analysis

At the time of writing, IOST is ranked the 109th cryptocurrency globally and the current price is US$0.01418. Let’s take a look at the chart below for price analysis:

Source: TradingView

IOST rallied 95% during late March and almost set new monthly highs before selling off 45% into its weekly low.

A retest of the monthly open, near $0.02625, started a new wave of selling in early May. The subsequent break of the weekly open created a new area of resistance between $0.01959 and $0.01863 – an area that is also inefficiently traded and has confluence with the 9 and 18 EMAs.

If this resistance breaks, a move toward the monthly highs might find resistance between $0.02174 and $0.02270. Any potential move through this resistance will likely find a ceiling near an inefficient higher-timeframe level at $0.02730.

Old support near $0.01389 created a sharp bullish reaction in late June. This region, down to $0.01274, could provide support again. 

However, a longer-term bottom is more likely to be found between $0.01027 and $0.00963, where higher-timeframe charts show an inefficiently traded area.

3. Polkadot (DOT)

Polkadot DOT is an open-source sharding multichain protocol that facilitates the cross-chain transfer of any data or asset types, not just tokens, thereby making a wide range of blockchains interoperable with each other. Polkadot’s native DOT token serves three clear purposes: providing network governance and operations, and creating parachains by bonding. The Polkadot protocol connects public and private chains, permissionless networks, oracles and future technologies, allowing these independent blockchains to trustlessly share information and transactions through the Polkadot relay chain.

DOT Price Analysis

At the time of writing, DOT is ranked the 11th cryptocurrency globally and the current price is US$7.61. Let’s take a look at the chart below for price analysis:

Source: TradingView

DOT has retraced nearly 70% after Q2, showing little sign of interest from buyers.

June’s consolidation at possible support from $9.85 to $7.10 broke down with the rest of the market last month, turning this into likely resistance on future retests. This area now has confluence with the 9 and 18 EMAs.

If market conditions turn and this resistance breaks, an area near the midpoint of Q2 consolidation range, near $8.70, and the monthly high near $10.58 may see profit-taking from bulls.

The first test of possible support near $7.10 has showed some sensitivity. Still, continued bearishness in the market will likely cause a break of this level.

A break of this support might continue to drop to the next possible support near $6.80, running stops under the Q3 2021 swing low. If this level gives support and begins a consolidation forming a bottom, bulls might wait for a wick below to possible support from $6.15 to $5.70.

Australia Payments Ripple Stablecoins Stellar

Australian Giant Novatti Set to Launch AUD Stablecoin with Stellar and Ripple

Leading Australian digital payments company Novatti has announced that it will be partnering with Ripple to bring its Australian dollar stablecoin, AUDC, to the XRP ledger.

The company had previously announced a partnership with Stellar in May to bring the stablecoin to the Stellar blockchain.

Novatti’s AUDC stablecoin will be dollar-for-dollar backed by real Australian dollars – which seems a wise decision, given the recent chaos surrounding under-collateralised algorithmic stablecoins.

Development to be Largely Funded by Ripple, Stellar

Announcing the Ripple partnership, Novatti CEO and managing director Peter Cook said that much of the cost of developing the AUDC stablecoin will be borne by Ripple and Stellar:

Ripple and Stellar are largely funding the development work and even some of the marketing work that we do to get our stablecoin service out.

Peter Cook, CEO and managing director, Novatti

Cook said grant funding from the two blockchain networks would underpin the project until it started generating sufficient transaction fees to amass revenue on its own.

“For the next year at least, revenues will be from a number of payments from Ripple and Stellar for their grant programs that ameliorate our tech build costs and some of our marketing costs. As we start to monetise later this year, we’ll start to get transaction fees from the stablecoin service as well.”

Novatti Sees Opportunity in Stablecoins

Cook said the creation of AUDC and partnerships with Stellar and Ripple provide Novatti with the opportunity to expand its traditional payments business into the world of digital assets, potentially broadening its market and the use cases for its platform.

“Stablecoins for us is essentially a major foray into digital assets – we are still a payments company, a traditional payments company, but this now gives us a major entree between cryptocurrency, which goes up and down and is subject to other market forces, and real utilitarian crypto-based assets,” Cook said.

“So we build the stablecoin, it becomes part of our ecosystem or our infrastructure, which is licenses, tech, commercial partnerships, and from there we leverage and monetise it for either our financial services customers or end business type customers,” he added. 

We will provide services such as stablecoin-as-a-service and also holding and transacting of funds for things such as cross-border payments, on-ramps/off-ramps for cryptocurrencies, and other services yet to be seen. 

Peter Cook, CEO and managing director, Novatti

Both Stellar and Ripple have been active recently in partnering with organisations to develop use cases for their tech. In early June, Stellar announced it had partnered with MoneyGram to facilitate stablecoin remittance payments and last November Ripple joined forces with Pacific island nation Palau to develop an eco-friendly digital currency.

MoneyGram Partners With Stellar for Stablecoin Remittances, El Salvador Targeted

International cross-border remittances company MoneyGram is partnering with the Stellar blockchain to allow Stellar wallet users to transfer USDC stablecoins redeemable for fiat currency through MoneyGram:

Reducing the Cost of Remittances

In an attempt to drive down remittance costs, Stellar and MoneyGram seek to enable speedy low-cost transfers with a sleek user experience.

Currently, most international remittances are expensive and inconvenient. MoneyGram’s partnership with Stellar aims to reduce both the costs and friction of remittances by granting Stellar wallet holders the ability to receive USDC stablecoins that can then be converted into fiat currency worldwide.

Speaking to Bloomberg, MoneyGram CEO Alex Holmes shared his optimistic view of the crypto sector:

It [crypto] is here to stay and it’s going to be here for a long time despite recent selloffs and volatility.

Alex Holmes, MoneyGram CEO

MoneyGram Opts for Asset-Backed Stablecoin

Notably, the company has opted for an asset-backed stablecoin in the form of USDC, not an algorithmic one such as USDT, which recently imploded. In fact, Circle, the company behind USDC, has come out publicly amid the USDT/LUNA fiasco and assured that a depegging of its stablecoin is highly unlikely as it is fully backed by safe liquid assets:

We’re not taking the dollar and putting it in the reserves and then lending it out. Instead, the reserves are strictly cash and US Treasuries.

Dante Disparte, CSO, Circle 

El Salvador a Potential Market

In the interview with Bloomberg, Holmes commented on El Salvador’s move to adopt bitcoin as legal tender, saying he was working with authorities to drive adoption:

If a country like El Salvador is going to make Bitcoin seamless with US dollars in country, I think that consumers, through MoneyGram, should be able to transfer Bitcoin to El Salvador or transfer dollars and convert them to Bitcoin. If that’s where the world is going, let’s participate in that world, and let’s see how we can help fulfill that opportunity.

Alex Holmes, CEO, MoneyGram

Few would argue that the world needs cheaper and faster remittance technology. Recipients are often those who can least afford the exorbitant fees, often as high as 20 percent if one takes into account the minimum amount required to be sent.

The key question, however, is whether the Stellar blockchain is the most secure and stable long-term solution. Bitcoiners would argue not, since the newly introduced Taro protocol already allows for stablecoins to be sent on Bitcoin’s Lightning Network.

Top 3 Coins to Watch Today: XLM, DASH, UNI – May 26 Trading Analysis

Let’s take a closer look at today’s altcoins showing breakout signals. We’ll explain what the coin is, then dive into the trading charts and provide some analysis to help you decide.

1. Stellar (XLM)

Stellar XLM is an open network that allows money to be moved and stored. When it was released, the goal was boosting financial inclusion by reaching the world’s unbanked – but soon after, its priorities shifted to helping financial firms connect with one another through blockchain technology. The network’s native token, lumens, serves as a bridge that makes it less expensive to trade assets across borders. All of this aims to challenge existing payment providers who often charge high fees for a similar service.

XLM Price Analysis

At the time of writing, XLM is ranked the 27th cryptocurrency globally and the current price is US$0.1340. Let’s take a look at the chart below for price analysis:

Source: TradingView

XLM set a high near $0.2457 in Q1 before retracing nearly 65% to find a low near $0.1258. The price consolidated around this level before the strong bullish impulse over the past several days.

Probable resistance near $0.1570 is slowing the bullish advance down. However, another leg might target the last swing high at $0.1624 and relatively equal highs at $0.1750. Resistance near $0.1859 could cap the move before the second swing high. Beyond these levels, little stands in the bulls’ way before reaching the swing high near $0.2156.

A retracement before a move higher might find support in the daily gap near $0.1210, just above the weekly open. Relatively equal lows near $0.1165 could also provide support. Run-on stops at $0.1100 and $0.1074 might find support in the gap beginning near $0.1012.

2. Dash (DASH)

Dash is an open-source blockchain and cryptocurrency focused on offering a fast, cheap global payments network that is decentralised in nature. According to the project’s white paper, Dash seeks to improve on Bitcoin by providing stronger privacy and faster transactions. Dash’s governance system, or treasury, distributes 10% of the block rewards for the development of the project in a competitive and decentralised way.

DASH Price Analysis

At the time of writing, DASH is ranked the 70th cryptocurrency globally and the current price is US$62.03. Let’s take a look at the chart below for price analysis:

Source: TradingView

During April, DASH retraced over 40% before finding support near $53.13. Consolidation above this level has created a series of relatively equal lows, which are likely to be swept before any longer-term bullish trend begins. 

In the shorter term, the price might establish support near $60.50 before running the swing high at $73.88. If this bullish move occurs, the price could reach resistance near the weekly open around $79.43, and may even sweep the swing high near $84.22.

Some support might exist at the daily gap near $55.12. A move this low would also fill the monthly gap and set the stage for a possible bullish reversal.

3. Uniswap (UNI)

Uniswap UNI is a popular decentralised trading protocol known for its role in facilitating the automated trading of decentralised finance (DeFi) tokens. Uniswap aims to keep token trading automated and completely open to anyone who holds tokens while improving the efficiency of trading versus that on traditional exchanges. Uniswap creates more efficiency by solving liquidity issues with automated solutions, avoiding the problems that plagued the first decentralised exchanges.

UNI Price Analysis

At the time of writing, UNI is ranked the 23rd cryptocurrency globally and the current price is US$5.50. Let’s take a look at the chart below for price analysis:

Source: TradingView

UNI‘s 70% retracement from its March highs set a low near $4.87 during its consolidation that began in early May.

Relatively equal highs near $7.56 could be the current target if the price breaks through resistance beginning near $8.87. Bullish continuation might reach through the next significant swing high near $9.26 into the daily gap near $10.59.

If bullish strength continues, the zones just below the monthly open near $11.88 and $12.45 could halt any retracement. 

A bearish shift in the market might seek the relatively equal lows near $5.33 into possible support near $5.00. If this down move occurs, the swing low near $4.90 and possible support near $4.32 may be the primary objective.

Crypto News Market Analysis Polygon Solana Stellar Trading

Top 3 Coins to Watch Today: SOL, MATIC, XLM – May 12 Trading Analysis

Let’s take a closer look at today’s altcoins showing breakout signals. We’ll explain what the coin is, then dive into the trading charts and provide some analysis to help you decide.

1. Solana (SOL)

Solana SOL is a highly functional open-source project that banks on blockchain technology’s permissionless nature to provide decentralised finance (DeFi) solutions. The Solana protocol is designed to facilitate decentralised app (DApp) creation. It aims to improve scalability by introducing a proof-of-history (PoH) consensus combined with the underlying proof-of-stake (PoS) consensus of the blockchain.

SOL Price Analysis

At the time of writing, SOL is ranked the 8th cryptocurrency globally and the current price is US$53.37. Let’s take a look at the chart below for price analysis:

Source: TradingView

SOL has retraced 80% from its Q1 highs and reached possible support last week near $50.34. Resistance might begin near $80.34, which has confluence with the 9 and 18 EMAs.

A more substantial rally might reach near the swing high at $87.23 and the 40 EMA. This high is less likely to break if bears plan to continue the downtrend without a lengthier consolidation.

While not highly probable in the current market conditions, a more animated move upward could reach a wide resistance area between $94.42 and $98.94. This zone is where the last movement down accumulated positions before breaking down. 

Possible support rests near $50.34, which showed sensitivity on the last test. While it could provide support again, the higher-timeframe bearish trend is more likely to propel the price into an inefficient area between $47.10 and $44.54. If the price reaches this zone, the Q1 2021 swing high near $40.13 might mark a more sensitive level.

2. Polygon (MATIC)

Polygon MATIC is the first well-structured, easy-to-use platform for Ethereum scaling and infrastructure development. Its core component is Polygon SDK, a modular, flexible framework that supports building multiple types of applications. The MATIC token will continue to exist and will play an increasingly important role in securing the system and enabling governance.

MATIC Price Analysis

At the time of writing, MATIC is ranked the 18th cryptocurrency globally and the current price is US$0.7203. Let’s take a look at the chart below for price analysis:

Source: TradingView

Since its Q1 highs, MATIC has been in a steady bearish trend, retracing nearly 55%. The price found support near $0.7020, at the 60.8% retracement level.

Last week’s sharp impulse up might have marked the start of a new trend. If so, higher timeframes suggest that $0.6839 near the 65.8% retracement and the 9, 18 and 40 EMAs may see interest from bulls. The price could reach lower, near $0.6520, and still find support.

Currently, the price is contesting a region between $0.7139 and $0.7835. Closes over this level could confirm it as new support, leading to a move higher.

However, bulls are contending with probable resistance near $0.8344, while $0.9053 is also likely to be sensitive with the nearest support and resistance this close together.

3. Stellar (XLM)

Stellar XLM is an open network that allows money to be moved and stored. When it was released, the goal was boosting financial inclusion by reaching the world’s unbanked – but soon after, its priorities shifted to helping financial firms connect with one another through blockchain technology. The network’s native token, lumens, serves as a bridge that makes it less expensive to trade assets across borders. All of this aims to challenge existing payment providers who often charge high fees for a similar service.

XLM Price Analysis

At the time of writing, XLM is ranked the 27th cryptocurrency globally and the current price is US$0.1303. Let’s take a look at the chart below for price analysis:

Source: TradingView

XLM set a high near $0.2457 in early April before retracing nearly 45% to find a low near $0.1260. The price consolidated around this level before the strong bullish impulse over the past several days.

Probable resistance near $0.1578 is slowing the bullish advance down. However, another leg might target the last swing high at $0.1722 and relatively equal highs at $0.1936. Resistance near $0.2059 could cap the move before the second swing high. Beyond these levels, little stands in the bulls’ way before reaching the swing high near $0.2356.

A retracement before a move higher might find support in the daily gap near $0.1243, just above the weekly open. Relatively equal lows near $0.1175 could also provide support. Run-on stops at $0.1105 and $0.1083 might find support in the gap beginning near $0.1020.

Crypto News Kava Litecoin Market Analysis Stellar Trading

Top 3 Coins to Watch Today: LTC, XLM, KAVA – April 13 Trading Analysis

Let’s take a closer look at today’s altcoins showing breakout signals. We’ll explain what the coin is, then dive into the trading charts and provide some analysis to help you decide.

1. Litecoin (LTC)

Litecoin LTC is a cryptocurrency designed to provide fast, secure and low-cost payments by leveraging the unique properties of blockchain technology. The cryptocurrency was created based on the Bitcoin protocol, but it differs in terms of the hashing algorithm used, hard cap, block transaction times, and a few other factors. Litecoin has a block time of just 2.5 minutes and extremely low transaction fees, making it suitable for micro-transactions and point-of-sale payments.

LTC Price Analysis

At the time of writing, LTC is ranked the 20th cryptocurrency globally and the current price is US$103.65. Let’s take a look at the chart below for price analysis:

Source: TradingView

After setting a low last month, LTC kicked off a recovery trend that gained nearly 20% to break the weekly highs.

The following 65% plummet found support near $102.36, sweeping under the 40 EMA into the 61.8% retracement level before bouncing to resistance beginning at $120.53.

This area could continue to provide resistance, possibly causing a retracement to the 9 EMA and 18 EMA near $125.12, where aggressive bulls might begin bidding. The level near $134.98, which has confluence with the 40 EMA, may see more interest from bulls loading up for an attempt on probable resistance beginning near $147.13. 

However, if Bitcoin continues its sideways trend, much lower prices could be seen. The old support near $100.18 could provide at least a short-term bounce. If this level fails, the old monthly lows near $91.23 might also give support and see the start of a new bullish cycle after retesting these support levels.

2. Stellar (XLM)

Stellar XLM is an open network that allows money to be moved and stored. When it was released, the goal was boosting financial inclusion by reaching the world’s unbanked – but soon after, its priorities shifted to helping financial firms connect with one another through blockchain technology. The network’s native token, lumens, serves as a bridge that makes it less expensive to trade assets across borders. All of this aims to challenge existing payment providers who often charge high fees for a similar service.

XLM Price Analysis

At the time of writing, XLM is ranked the 30th cryptocurrency globally and the current price is US$0.1902. Let’s take a look at the chart below for price analysis:

Source: TradingView

XLM set a high near $0.2557 in early April before retracing nearly 25% to find a low near $0.1780. The price consolidated around this level before the strong bullish impulse during the past several weeks.

Probable resistance near $0.2478 is slowing the bullish advance down. However, another leg might target the last swing high at $0.2822 and relatively equal highs at $0.3136. Resistance near $0.3359 could cap the move before the second swing high. Beyond these levels, little stands in the bulls’ way before reaching the swing high near $0.3856.

A retracement before a move higher might find support in the daily gap near $0.1743, just above the monthly open. Relatively equal lows near $0.1675 could also provide support. Run-on stops at $0.1605 and $0.1583 might find support in the gap beginning near $0.1520.

3. Kava.io (KAVA)

KAVA is a cross-chain DeFi lending platform that allows users to borrow USDX stablecoins and deposit a variety of cryptocurrencies to begin earning a yield. The Kava DeFi hub operates as a decentralised bank for digital assets, allowing users to access a range of decentralised financial services, including its native USD-pegged stablecoin, USDX, as well as synthetics and derivatives. Through Kava, users are able to borrow USDX tokens by depositing collateral, effectively leveraging their exposure to crypto-assets.

KAVA Price Analysis

At the time of writing, KAVA is ranked the 96th cryptocurrency globally and the current price is US$4.07. Let’s take a look at the chart below for price analysis:

Source: TradingView

The last year saw KAVA travel through a massive range from approximately $8.00 to $3.66. Currently, it is trending downward into the range lows.

Resistance might be found just above the current price, beginning near $4.75. This area has confluence with the 9 and 18 EMAs. 

A stronger retracement against the bearish trend could reach the 40 EMA and the March monthly open, near $3.70. 

Although unlikely in the current bearish market conditions, a more significant rally might reach over the 2022 yearly open to test an inefficiently traded area from $4.19 to $4.48.

During Q1, the price bounced from the support between $3.15 to $3.00 while wicking just under a narrow support zone at $2.89. These two levels could provide support again. 

However, the price has been consolidating on higher timeframes since late January. Given the current bearish market conditions, it seems likely that a retest of these two support levels may fail.

Crypto News Decentraland Market Analysis OMG Network Stellar Trading

Top 3 Coins to Watch Today: MANA, OMG, XLM – March 21 Trading Analysis

Let’s take a closer look at today’s altcoins showing breakout signals. We’ll explain what the coin is, then dive into the trading charts and provide some analysis to help you decide.

1. Decentraland (MANA)

Decentraland MANA defines itself as a virtual reality platform powered by the Ethereum blockchain that allows users to create, experience, and monetise content and applications. In this virtual world, users purchase plots of land that they can later navigate, build on and monetise. Decentraland uses two tokens: MANA and LAND. MANA is an ERC-20 token that must be burned to acquire non-fungible ERC-721 LAND tokens. MANA tokens can also be used to pay for a range of avatars, wearables, names and more on the Decentraland marketplace.

MANA Price Analysis

At the time of writing, MANA is ranked the 32nd cryptocurrency globally and the current price is US$2.41. Let’s take a look at the chart below for price analysis:

Source: TradingView

Like many other altcoins, MANA set a monthly high during February before retracing 35% to the low at $2.30 last week.

The price broke through resistance near $2.45, which may mark an area of possible support on a retracement. If this support fails, bulls might also step in near $2.37. However, a drop this far increases the chances of a stop run to $2.32 and possibly into support near $2.25. For now, continuing bullish market conditions could help $2.40 become support.

The swing high around $2.73 gives bulls a reasonable first target, with $2.88 also likely to draw the price upward. Higher-timeframe resistance beginning near $3.00 or $3.10 could cap the move or trigger consolidations. If bullish market conditions continue, bulls might test probable resistance near new monthly highs around $3.16.

2. Omg Network (OMG)

Omg Network OMG, formerly known as OmiseGo, is a non-custodial, layer-2 scaling solution built for the Ethereum blockchain. As an Ethereum scaling solution, OMG Network is designed to allow users to transfer ETH and ERC20 tokens significantly faster and more cheaply than when transacting directly on the Ethereum network. The network is powered by the OMG utility token, which can be used as one of the payment methods for fees on the OMG Network, and will eventually be stackable – helping to secure the network in return for rewards.

OMG Price Analysis

At the time of writing, OMG is ranked the 100th cryptocurrency globally and the current price is US$4.86. Let’s take a look at the chart below for price analysis:

Source: TradingView

OMG‘s 35% drop has filled the March monthly gap twice as the price consolidated between $3.82 and $4.90.

The price’s current region, between $4.71 and $4.60 and just under the monthly open, could continue to give support. If this area continues to hold, the cluster of relatively equal range highs up to $5.10 is a likely target. 

An animated move through these highs could reach up to the daily gap beginning at $5.15. The area between $5.33 and $5.59 provides a likely cap for a move into this zone.

A drop lower could be a run-on stop under $4.50 and find support near $4.43. If this level is lost, the swing low at $4.31 is a likely target, with $4.12 possibly giving support.

3. Stellar (XLM)

Stellar XLM is an open network that allows money to be moved and stored. When it was released, the goal was boosting financial inclusion by reaching the world’s unbanked – but soon after, its priorities shifted to helping financial firms connect with one another through blockchain technology. The network’s native token, lumens, serves as a bridge that makes it less expensive to trade assets across borders. All of this aims to challenge existing payment providers who often charge high fees for a similar service.

XLM Price Analysis

At the time of writing, XLM is ranked the 29th cryptocurrency globally and the current price is US$0.1955. Let’s take a look at the chart below for price analysis:

Source: TradingView

XLM set a high near $0.2857 in early February before retracing nearly 45% to find a low near $0.1680. The price consolidated around this level before the strong bullish impulse during the past several weeks.

Probable resistance near $0.2478 is slowing the bullish advance down. However, another leg might target the last swing high at $0.2722 and relatively equal highs at $0.3036. Resistance near $0.3259 could cap the move before the second swing high. Beyond these levels, little stands in the bulls’ way before reaching the swing high near $0.3826.

A retracement before a move higher might find support in the daily gap near $0.1843, just above the monthly open. Relatively equal lows near $0.1775 could also provide support. Run-on stops at $0.1705 and $0.1653 might find support in the gap beginning near $0.1600 or a high-timeframe level near $0.1510.

Crypto News IOTA Market Analysis Polkadot Stellar Trading

Top 3 Coins to Watch Today: DOT, XLM, IOTA – February 10 Trading Analysis

Let’s take a closer look at today’s altcoins showing breakout signals. We’ll explain what the coin is, then dive into the trading charts and provide some analysis to help you decide.

1. Polkadot (DOT)

Polkadot DOT is an open-source sharding multichain protocol that facilitates the cross-chain transfer of any data or asset types, not just tokens, thereby making a wide range of blockchains interoperable with each other. Polkadot’s native DOT token serves three clear purposes: providing network governance and operations, and creating parachains by bonding. The Polkadot protocol connects public and private chains, permissionless networks, oracles and future technologies, allowing these independent blockchains to trustlessly share information and transactions through the Polkadot relay chain.

DOT Price Analysis

At the time of writing, DOT is ranked the 11th cryptocurrency globally and the current price is US$21.99. Let’s take a look at the chart below for price analysis:

Source: TradingView

DOT has retraced nearly 55% since its high in early January, showing little sign of interest from buyers.

February’s consolidation at possible support from $20.68 to $21.57 broke down with the rest of the market last week, turning this into likely resistance on future retests. This area now has confluence with the 9 and 18 EMAs.

If market conditions turn and this resistance breaks, an area near the midpoint of December’s consolidation range and the 2021 open, near $28.70, and the high of December’s consolidation range, near $32.88, might see profit-taking from bulls.

The first test of possible support near $17.40 showed some sensitivity. Still, continued bearishness in the market will likely cause a break of this level.

A break of this support might continue to drop to the next possible support near $15.37, running stops under July’s swing low. 

If this level gives support and begins a consolidation forming a bottom, bulls might wait for a wick below to possible support from $13.16 to $10.47 at the high of 2020’s consolidation range.

2. Stellar (XLM)

Stellar XLM is an open network that allows money to be moved and stored. When it was released, the goal was boosting financial inclusion by reaching the world’s unbanked – but soon after, its priorities shifted to helping financial firms connect with one another through blockchain technology. The network’s native token, lumens, serves as a bridge that makes it less expensive to trade assets across borders. All of this aims to challenge existing payment providers who often charge high fees for a similar service.

XLM Price Analysis

At the time of writing, XLM is ranked the 30th cryptocurrency globally and the current price is US$0.2412. Let’s take a look at the chart below for price analysis:

Source: TradingView

XLM set a high near $0.4157 in November before retracing nearly 75% to find a low near $0.2080. The price consolidated around this level before the strong bullish impulse during the past several weeks.

Probable resistance near $0.2678 is slowing the bullish advance down. However, another leg might target the last swing high at $0.3022 and relatively equal highs at $0.3336. Resistance near $0.3659 could cap the move before the second swing high. Beyond these levels, little stands in the bulls’ way before reaching the swing high near $0.3926.

A retracement before a move higher might find support in the daily gap near $0.2143, just above the monthly open. Relatively equal lows near $0.1975 could also provide support. Run-on stops at $0.1816 and $0.1731 might find support in the gap beginning near $0.1670 or a high-timeframe level near $0.1520.

3. IOTA (MIOTA)

IOTA is a distributed ledger with one big difference: it isn’t actually a blockchain. Instead, its proprietary technology is known as Tangle, a system of nodes that confirm transactions. The foundation behind the platform says this offers far greater speeds than conventional blockchains – and an ideal footprint for the ever-expanding Internet of Things ecosystem.

IOTA Price Analysis

At the time of writing, IOTA is ranked the 47th cryptocurrency globally and the current price is US$1.03. Let’s take a look at the chart below for price analysis:

Source: TradingView

After a 70% decline during January, IOTA has ranged between $0.9533 and $0.8203.

The recent rally is approaching probable resistance near $1.25 – but could be aiming for stops above the relatively equal highs near $1.20. Continuation of the bullish move could target the daily gap near $1.35.

Aggressive bulls might add to positions near $1.00 and $0.9844. Price action near $0.9340 may be more likely to provide support – if the price reaches it – during any retracements.

Relatively equal lows clustered around $0.8935 seem likely to be swept if the bearish trend resumes. If this move occurs, the price might find support at the significant higher-timeframe level near $0.8255.

Crypto News Dash Market Analysis Stellar Trading

Top 3 Coins to Watch Today: CRV, XLM, DASH – January 10 Trading Analysis

Let’s take a closer look at today’s altcoins showing breakout signals. We’ll explain what the coin is, then dive into the trading charts and provide some analysis to help you decide.

1. Curve DAO Token (CRV)

Curve CRV is a decentralised exchange for stablecoins that uses an automated market maker (AMM) to manage liquidity. Curve has gained considerable attention by following its remit as an AMM specifically for stablecoin trading. The launch of the DAO and CRV token brought in further profitability, given CRV’s use for governance, as it is awarded to users based on liquidity commitment and length of ownership. The explosion in DeFi trading has ensured Curve’s longevity, with AMMs turning over huge amounts of liquidity and associated user profits.

CRV Price Analysis

At the time of writing, CRV is ranked the 59th cryptocurrency globally and the current price is US$4.59. Let’s take a look at the chart below for price analysis:

Source: TradingView

Last week, bulls enjoyed 65% gains at CRV‘s peak before the price confirmed stiff resistance beginning at $6.58.

The 4-Hour chart shows that support may be forming between $3.86 and $3.75, near the monthly open. Aggressive bulls could enter in this area, although safer entries may be found much further below near $4.29 and $4.05 after a sweep of the current consolidation’s swing lows.

The last swing high near $4.80 provides a likely first target if the price does bounce from this region. Beyond this swing high, the 1.0 extension near $5.26 and the 2.0 extension near $5.72 and $5.94 may provide the next major targets.

2. Stellar (XLM)

Stellar XLM is an open network that allows money to be moved and stored. When it was released, the goal was boosting financial inclusion by reaching the world’s unbanked – but soon after, its priorities shifted to helping financial firms connect with one another through blockchain technology. The network’s native token, lumens, serves as a bridge that makes it less expensive to trade assets across borders. All of this aims to challenge existing payment providers who often charge high fees for a similar service.

XLM Price Analysis

At the time of writing, XLM is ranked the 29th cryptocurrency globally and the current price is US$0.2573. Let’s take a look at the chart below for price analysis:

Source: TradingView

XLM set a high near $0.4257 in November before retracing nearly 75% to find a low near $0.2380. The price consolidated around this level before the strong bullish impulse during the past several weeks.

Probable resistance near $0.3578 is slowing the bullish advance down. However, another leg might target the last swing high at $0.4022 and relatively equal highs at $0.4336. Resistance near $0.4659 could cap the move before the second swing high. Beyond these levels, little stands in the bulls’ way before reaching the swing high near $0.5149.

A retracement before a move higher might find support in the daily gap near $0.2323, just above the monthly open. Relatively equal lows near $0.2275 could also provide support. A run-on stops at $0.2016 and $0.1931 might find support in the gap beginning near $0.1900 or a high-timeframe level near $0.1723.

3. Dash (DASH)

Dash is an open-source blockchain and cryptocurrency focused on offering a fast, cheap global payments network that is decentralised in nature. According to the project’s white paper, Dash seeks to improve on Bitcoin by providing stronger privacy and faster transactions. Dash’s governance system, or treasury, distributes 10% of the block rewards for the development of the project in a competitive and decentralised way.

DASH Price Analysis

At the time of writing, DASH is ranked the 70th cryptocurrency globally and the current price is US$143.97. Let’s take a look at the chart below for price analysis:

Source: TradingView

During December, DASH retraced over 63% before finding support near $120. Consolidation above this level has created a series of relatively equal lows, which are likely to be swept before any longer-term bullish trend begins. 

In the shorter term, the price might establish support near $138 before running the swing high at $155. If this bullish move occurs, the price could reach resistance near the November monthly open around $175, and may even sweep the swing high near $182.

Some support might exist at the daily gap near $128. A move this low would also fill the monthly gap and set the stage for a possible bullish reversal.
