The LINK price has consistently demonstrated bullish patterns. In September, its value catapulted from a humble $5.8 to an impressive $7.9 peak. Consequently, crypto enthusiasts remain optimistic, further fueled by a notable prediction of a 130% price increase from a crypto expert. Babenski, a pseudonymous analyst on TradingView, shared insights on the potential $18 surge. He highlighted the $5.8 mid-September low, identifying it as a significant accumulation range. This trend wasn’t surprising, as extensive buying occurred when LINK dipped to $5.8. Hence, this accumulation phase established a solid support foundation, propelling the rally toward the $8 mark. However, despite witnessing a 35% surge from its September trough, Babenski anticipates more growth. A rally climax at $18 would indicate a potential 130% increase for LINK. Yet, a hurdle emerges – a retracement spotted slightly over the $8 mark. Significantly, LINK has recently experienced a similar pullback after ne...

Crypto enthusiasts are trying to stage a comeback and closely monitor several alternative cryptocurrencies. Bitcoin (BTC) is making an effort to maintain its position above the $27,000 mark, a development that is viewed positively. Over the past few days, Bitcoin demonstrated resilience by holding its value above $26,000 despite challenging conditions. This was marked by a substantial rise in the United States dollar index (DXY) and a significant drop in the S&P 500 index (SPX). This resilience suggests a decrease in selling pressure at lower price levels. Even the decision by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission to postpone the approval of spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) did not significantly impact prices, indicating that market participants are adopting a longer-term perspective on Bitcoin. According to James Seyffart, an ETF analyst at Bloomberg, the regulator’s decision to delay may have been influenced by the looming risk of a U...

Gold bars recently sold out at Costco, reflecting investors’ souring mood about the economy. Is there a silver lining for Bitcoin? Costco has made headlines this week after it rapidly sold out of gold bars. In times of economic uncertainty and rising inflation, it's no surprise that investors are turning to traditional safe-haven assets like gold. The question is whether gold’s performance will eventually catapult its price above $2,050, a level last seen in early May. In the past 12 months, the price of gold has surged by an impressive 12%. This rally has been partially fueled by the Federal Reserve's efforts to combat inflation by maintaining higher interest rates, a move that benefits scarce assets like gold. While gold's performance is commendable, it's essential to put it into perspective. Gold (yellow) vs. Bitcoin (orange), S&P 500 (green) and WTI oil (black), last 12 months.

During a hearing held on September 27th, Representative Tom Emmer hinted at a potential bias in Securities and Exchange Commission Chair Gary Gensler’s regulatory approach, owing to his extensive background in Wall Street. In a session convened by the House Financial Services Committee, United States Representative Tom Emmer voiced his reservations regarding Gary Gensler, the Chair of the Securities and Exchange Commission, on September 27th. Emmer asserted that Gensler’s allegiance to Wall Street appeared to come at the expense of fostering innovation, healthy competition, and the welfare of everyday Americans. Over the course of a four-minute inquiry, Emmer subtly alluded to Gensler’s financial background, which notably encompassed an 18-year tenure at Goldman Sachs, where he held the position of a partner and co-head of finance. Emmer’s viewpoint posited that Gensler’s deep ties to the financial sector might hinder his capacity to serve as an impartial r...

Ethereum has been trading below $1600. On the daily timeframe chart, the asset’s price recently created lower lows. At the same time, its RSI formed higher lows, resulting in a bullish divergence. Conventionally, this situation depicts that bears are losing power and bulls are gearing up to control the market again. More often than not, bullish divergences are followed by relief rallies. In the weekly timeframe, ETH continues to remain engulfed within its macro-rising wedge. Technically, this structure is bearish in nature. However, given the current sentiment flip in the short term, there are more odds of a bounce back from the lower trendline instead of registering a breakdown from that level. Consequentially, this has the potential to trigger a 12% uptick for ETH .

Analyst explains that the decreased amount of Shibarium transactions should not have a negative effect on the price of SHIB. BONE is the only token that stands to gain from the growth of Shibarium. Both BONE and SHIB experienced losses of more than 10% over the past month of trading. Analyst Clay from Claybro shared in one of his latest YouTube videos that there has been a substantial decrease in the amount of Shibarium transactions. Luckily, Clay explained, this will not necessarily have a negative effect on the price of the popular meme coin Shiba Inu (SHIB). Shibarium does not contribute to the demand and utility of SHIB itself. Clay explained that it is important to note that SHIB is not required for utilizing Shibarium, instead, Bone ShibaSwap (BONE) is the cryptocurrency used for transactions on Shibarium. Consequently, Clay stated that Shibarium’s growth is mainly beneficial for BONE as it is the only token that stands to gain from it. Meanwhile, S...
