Why Internet Computer could make risk-chasing investors rich

  • ICP is now trading at over 98% off its all-time lows.

  • With its fundamentals, the odds are that it could bounce off current prices. 

  • The broader market is turning bullish a factor that could boost the price. 

Sometimes the best plays in terms of ROI aren’t necessarily the strongest fundamentally. In some cases, what matters is the price is right, then counting on the broader market to create the momentum. 

One such play at the moment is Internet Computer (ICP). Internet Computer has been on a downtrend since it launched back in 2021. When it launched, ICP was trading at over $500. Currently, ICP is trading at $15, a pale shadow of its former self. This means it is down by over 95% from its all-time highs.

Logically, it can’t go much lower than this unless it goes to zero, which is highly unlikely. In essence, now that the market is looking up again, the chances are that it can only go up from here. Considering how much value it has lost since launch, it could also be one of those that give investors the highest ROI.

Besides, ICP is not exactly a worthless cryptocurrency. While it started with a lot of momentum as a project that aimed to decentralize the internet, ICP faced allegations that it was heavily centralized, a factor that hit its image hard. However, the project has worked hard to prove that it is decentralized, and as it moves towards meeting its long-term objectives, the price could start to rise again.

ICP Set for a breakout

Internet Computer has been trading in a descending triangle for weeks now. However, selling volumes have dropped over the past week, signaling a potential breakout, especially now that the broader market is showing bullish signs again. If there is a breakout, ICP could easily test $50 in the short term.

Summary 

Internet Computer was down by over 98% from its all-time highs in 2021. While there are no guarantees that it can retest its all-time highs, the odds are that it could bounce off current prices and be among the cryptos that could give a high ROI.

Basic Attention Token could test $1 in the short term

BAT Token with buy & sell dice behind it

Besides bullish momentum in the broader market, BAT fundamentals are strong.

  • Basic Attention Token is in a breakout, and buying Volumes are rising.

  • BAT is one of the fundamentally strongest cryptocurrencies in the market, a factor that favors its odds of sustaining the current rally.

  • BAT powers the brave browser, and with privacy taking center stage on the internet, Brave Browser adoption is growing.

Basic Attention Token (BAT) is one of the cryptos with an actual use case. It is among the few that even a layman can understand what it means and how it works by a quick glance at it. This is a big deal because it means that with crypto adoption on a growth trajectory, such cryptos stand to draw in the most volumes once the markets turn bullish again.

The Basic Attention Token is the token that runs the Brave Browser ecosystem. Brave is a privacy-focused browser that uses its high search speeds as a selling point. Unlike other browsers that make money by selling user data, advertisers pay users for their attention when using Brave. Anyone who takes time to view adverts on the Brave Browser gets paid in BAT tokens. 

Essentially, the more people use Brave, the more BAT tokens are used, which is a plus in demand and long-term value growth. The best part is that Brave Browser adoption is on a growth trajectory. So far, more than 4 million people use Brave, and the numbers are growing. This has a lot to do with its privacy features. Privacy is increasingly becoming a big deal to many people, meaning BAT has a lot of room for growth, especially if the markets turn bullish again.

Basic Attention Token breaks out after weeks of consolidation.

For the last couple of weeks, BAT has consolidated between $0.635 and $0.755. However, in the past 24-hours, BAT has broken out of this range and with high volumes. If the market sustains the current upside momentum, BAT could easily break the $1 mark in the short term.

Summary 

BAT is in a breakout, a move that was triggered a bullish breakout in the broader market. However, while the current price move is mainly speculative, BAT has the fundamentals to sustain a rally and make new highs in the long run.

Why LINK could be a great investment for 2022 and beyond

  • Chainlink is the most dominant player in the platform blockchain market. 

  • Chainlink is interlinked with all major platform blockchains as it’s needed for smart contracts to execute correctly.

  • Chainlink is currently in a breakout after consolidating for weeks. 

On the weekly charts, the market continues trading in a consolidation pattern, which makes now a perfect time to accumulate high-potential cryptocurrencies. With fundamentals increasingly taking center stage in the crypto market, there is a pretty high chance that fundamentally strong cryptos could outperform the market long term.

For this reason, Chainlink (LINK) easily stands out as one of the cryptos that are worth accumulating at current prices. One factor that makes LINK strong is its dominance in the oracles market. Chainlink commands over 65% of the decentralized oracles market compared to all its competitors. Essentially, it has a chokehold on this market and is unlikely to be dethroned, just like Bitcoin is unlikely to be displaced as the number one crypto.

However, it is not just about being number one in its niche, but also that Chainlink’s core market is essential. Decentralized oracles are at the center of all smart contracts. Without them, it would be impossible for smart contracts to run. For this reason, Chainlink is intertwined with all the major platform blockchains ranging from Ethereum to Solana.

Given that smart contracts are increasingly becoming the backbone of the crypto market and pretty soon the entire world economy, the use case for decentralized oracles like Chainlink will only get stronger. By extension, this means higher demand for LINK, which will reflect in its long-term price.

LINK is in a breakout; can it sustain momentum?

After trading in a range between $12.68 and $13.38, LINK is currently in a breakout, following a similar price action in the broader market. If Bitcoin can hold above $40k and buying volumes increase, LINK could easily test $20 in the short term. 

Summary

Chainlink is one of the strongest cryptos in the market when you consider fundamentals the primary analysis metric. It has more than 65% of the decentralized oracles market and is needed for smart contracts to run as required. With the broader market showing some upside momentum, LINK has broken out of a multi-week range and high volumes.
