Ben Armstrong claimed that XRP’s price dip was a “liquidity grab.” Solana’s fluctuation could be linked to Sam Bankman-Fried reportedly promoting Solana in prison. Increase in Cardano’s new addresses reportedly indicates a possible price rally. In a recent YouTube video, cryptocurrency influencer Ben Armstrong discussed price changes for XRP, Cardano, Ethereum, and Solana. Armstrong believes each crypto is leading to the possibility of a big price movement.

Armstrong remarked, “XRP is going high very soon.”  Furthermore, Armstrong touched on Solana’s developments, linking its potential price fluctuation to recent news involving Sam Bankman-Fried.

ClayBro thinks the recent breakout has opened the way for SHIB to rally to newer highs. SHIB settled above $0.00001 for the first time since April 2023. Data from IntoTheBlock showed that 230,000 wallet addresses became profitable when SHIB crossed $0.00001. ClayBro, a crypto analyst, thinks the recent SHIB breakout has opened the way for the flagship meme coin to rally to newer highs. In a recently uploaded video, the renowned SHIB analyst identified the meme coin’s price action around $0.000011 as a significant event in the developing bull run. Shiba Inu fell below the $0.000011 price level in April 2023 and tested it only twice without breaking above the established resistance. For nearly one year, SHIB traded sideways, with $0.000011 forming the upper limit of a horizontal channel. ClayBro noted how SHIB failed to follow Bitcoin and other cryptos to rally in the past year before embarking on the recent rally. Analyzing the recent developments, ClayBro

A crypto strategist who nailed Bitcoin’s (BTC) 2018 bear market price floor says he’s looking at one memecoin to generate massive returns this cycle. Pseudonymous analyst Bluntz tells his 240,900 followers on the social media platform X that the Solana (SOL)-based memecoin dogwifhat (WIF) is his “highest conviction” trade this cycle. The trader shares a chart suggesting that WIF may be following in the footsteps of one crypto asset that has already printed 5x gains this year. “WIF will be my kingmaker trade for this cycle… Never thought my highest conviction bet would be a memecoin but here we are. [Here’s a] visual representation of what I think happens.”  Source: Bluntz/X Looking at the trader’s chart, he seems to predict that WIF can soar to as high as $3. At time of writing, WIF is trading for $0.611, indicating an upside potential of over 700% if the memecoin hits Bluntz’s target. The analyst is also bullish on the native asset of the decentralized stor

Many of the top trending tokens on the Solana chain recently recorded double-figure gains, marking the shift in the market dynamics.

Do Kwon’s lawyer David Patton hints at the possibility of Kwon to miss the first day of his civil trial. The assumption is based on the prevailing uncertainty regarding Kwon’s extradition. Lawyer  Patton states that Kwon will not request for further postponement of the trial. Recent reports highlighted Terraform Labs Co-Founder Do Kwon’s potential failure to appear for the initial day of the upcoming civil trial on March 25. Kwon’s lawyer David Patton hinted at the possible situation, considering the court’s repeated delays in Kwon’s extradition decision. Last week, the High Court of Podgorica ruled to extradite Kwon to the United States, denying his request to be extradited to his native South Korea. Though Kwon’s legal team argued that Montenegro’s Justice Minister has the ultimate authority to pass the decision on his extradition, the court rejected it. While the court asserted that the decision might be altered again, it remains unclear when Kwon will be

The Ethereum price is up almost 2% in the last 24 hours to trade for $3,065 as of 5:30 a.m. EST time on trading volume that jumped 10%. ETH’s latest breach of the $3,000 psychological level comes amid optimism on two themes. First, following the approval of spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) in January, markets are hoping for approval of Ether ETFs, too, as early as May. 🚀🔥 Ethereum FOMO reaches new heights! Staking and restaking narratives fuel investor interest, with over 31 million ETH staked. A spot ETH ETF approval could amplify supply scarcity, propelling ETH to new highs. #ETH #FOMORising — митяй (@shoybis) February 26, 2024 With growing anticipation for an ETH ETF, the fear of missing out (FOMO) is also driving investors. Staking and restaking narratives continue to drive demand for Ethereum. A potential spot ETH ETF approval could also reduce market supply, which explains the current heightened bullish sentiment. Another driver for the Ether market is the Denc

At the closing of 2023, hopes among crypto traders were high when it came to XRP. While the Bitcoin (BTC)-led rally that affected the crypto market as a whole played a part in this optimism, the string of legal victories Ripple Labs achieved in its long struggle with the SEC arguably had an even greater role. Despite this, while XRP went through a rally that briefly had it surge above $0.70 for the first time since early 2022, its performance since the start of 2024 has been far more lackluster and indeed mostly marked by stagnation and decline, causing many to wonder if the token will ever reach $1, let alone its previous all-time highs of $3 and beyond. TD Sequential reveals XRP’s imminent rally After offering middling performance through most of the first two months of 2024, the technical Analysis (TA) relying on TD Sequential of XRP’s weekly chart flashed a buy signal on Monday, February 26, per the prominent crypto analyst Ali Martinez, who shared his findings on X.

XRP’s daily chart showed that it had bounced off the lower lows and could trend higher. A successful close above $0.55 could trigger a 22.85% rally toward $0.70. The 4-hour and daily chart indicated that rejection at $0.55 could force a plunge to $0.50. Ripple’s (XRP) price action on the daily timeframe suggested that the token could break out soon. Between December 6 and February 14, XRP formed a descending parallel channel. During this period, the support line connected consecutive lower lows while the resistance linked consecutive lower highs. However, the price had since bounced off the support trend line at $0.50. Despite the upswing, XRP faced another hurdle at $0.55. Previous attempts to flip the zone had been met with rejection. XRP/USD Daily Analysis If bulls successfully breach the resistance, XRP triggers a 22.85% rally which could help the price retest $0.70. Conversely, another failed attempt at flipping $0.55 could lead the price downward. Sho

Long-term XRP price forecast: bearish The Ripple coin (XRP) is currently trending downwards but made an upward correction on February 15, 2024. The upside correction failed as the altcoin was sold off at its high of $0.57. On the upside, buyers were able to sustain the bullish momentum above the moving average lines but were unable to break above the $0.57 hurdle. If the $0.57 resistance level is breached, the cryptocur

Bitcoin is not the only cryptocurrency with mind-blowing performance this quarter; several other tokens are poised to become the next cryptocurrencies to explode. Siacoin, Pixel, and Pyth network are projects making waves in the industry. The recent performance of Pixel demonstrates the prospect of assets in the GameFi sector. Likewise, Pyth’s push for improved services in the on-chain-off-chain data access reveals a gap in the Oracle sector. The updates on their trend and performance are covered below. Next Cryptocurrency To Explode In the meantime, the crypto market recently witnessed established assets setting new ATH across the board. Nevertheless, new and upcoming Crypto projects are also making moves to establish an impressive reputation. An example is the Meme Kombat presale that’s set to go on exchanges in a few days. The community has demonstrated resilience, and the launch timing looks relatively perfect, coinciding with the ongoing bull run; details are provided later. 1
