This little-known crypto token has returned 171% in 2 days with surging volume

  • NMR is the native token of Numeraire and has gained by triple digits in two days

  • Numeraire enables equity trading via the Ethereum blockchain

  • Developers hinted at progress on 1 million stock tokens

Numeraire crypto token NMR/USD has staged a massive rally this week. The cryptocurrency had returned 171.74% in just two days as of press time. The token touched a high of $39.5 on June 30. The token traded at a low of $8 on June 29. The changes in the price highlight the intense volatility the token has faced. 

Numeraire is a software that enables users to trade equities on the Ethereum blockchain. Users can execute trades relying on artificial intelligence and expert predictions via blockchain. Two applications on Numeraire’s platform support different types of traders. The first is “Signals,” an avenue for traders to upload their stock market strategies. The second is the “Tournament,” a weekly competition. Traders submit their trading algorithms on stock markets, allowing others to bet on the potential outcome.

NMR is the native token of Numeraire. The token supports staking on the platform and conducts payments. It also rewards tournament participants. NMRs are also burned whenever participants stake tokens to an incorrect prediction. 

The rise of NMR happened after its developers confirmed progress on 1 million stock NMR tokens. As of press time, the trading volume had surged by double digits in the last 24 hours. It illustrates the growth in investor interest in the crypto token.

Technically, NMR trades around the $23 support zone, a major decline from the previous day’s high. The 21-day and 14-day moving averages continue to support the price. Despite the high trading volume, the token could crash further below if $23 fails to hold. For now, investors should be aware of a potential token dump. 

Summary

NMR rise is connected to the latest announcement. However, we perceive the sentiment as weak, and investors could be caught in a bull trap.

Key breakout to accelerate Bitcoin weakness as price slips below 200-day MA

  • Bitcoin trades at above $19,000 in a bear market and support area

  • 200-day moving average joined resistance for Bitcoin

  • A breakout of the inside bar pattern could accelerate bear weakness

Bitcoin BTC/USD is trading at 19,580. At the current price, the world’s largest cryptocurrency sits at support. However, Bitcoin may crash below the support as more bearish indicators emerge. Fundamentals and market sentiment also weigh on the price of Bitcoin.

The price of Bitcoin has been so far pegged on the state of the economy. Rising inflation is a bear trigger for Bitcoin. Inflation ignites faster action by central banks to tighten policy. On Thursday, data showed that the Fed’s key inflation gauge rose by 4.7% in May. Despite being lower than estimates of 4.8%, the rate was at levels only seen in the 1980s. 

In its comments, the Fed has hinted at faster rate hikes to tame the costly inflation. Markets anticipate up to a 75 basis point rate hike in July. The faster rate action would be bearish for Bitcoin. Current technical indicators suggest another bear leg is on the horizon.

The weekly chart gives the long-term trend of Bitcoin. The 200-day moving average joined resistance for the cryptocurrency at key support. An RSI reading of 25 may suggest the cryptocurrency is oversold. Nonetheless, this does not mean the bear’s weakness is over. A short-term appreciation in price may be met with a sharp downturn. 

Bitcoin also forms an inside bar pattern at the key support. We need to see whether the weekly candlestick breaks below. A breakout of the inside bar to the downside and below the support will heighten the bear market. The next support is around 11,661.

Concluding thoughts

The 200-day moving average has joined Bitcoin resistance for the first time. The price faces bear pressure at the support. An inside bar breaking out to the downside will weaken the cryptocurrency further.

DappRadar launches cross-chain token staking solution

DappRadar’s cross-chain token staking is now live, the first in the industry to allow users to stake and claim rewards on any chain regardless of where they stake their RADAR tokens.

DappRadar is making it easy for investors to earn staking rewards on any blockchain with support for the native RADAR token.

This after the Dapp store and dApps data tracking platform’s launch of its cross-chain staking solution on Thursday. According to the DappRadar team, RADAR holders can now stake their tokens on one blockchain and claim staking rewards or withdraw their staked tokens on another chain.

Interoperability

The launch of the cross-chain token staking solution involves LayerZero, an interoperability protocol that allows for cross-chain smart contracts communication.

The protocol enables this for both EVM-compatible and non-EVM compatible chains, which means users will not be limited to those blockchains only compatible with the Ethereum Virtual Machine.

Cross-chain staking support will be available on whichever chain RADAR launches on, the platform said in a blog post. Simply, it means RADAR stakers do not require a bridge to access their staked tokens.

Also beneficial to the RADAR staking community is that APR will be the same across all supported blockchains. No bridging also means users won’t have to bear the associated high gas fees.

Skirmantas Januskas, the CEO and co-founder of DappRadar noted in a statement shared via a press release, that the platform’s product was built with users, “especially margin-sensitive” ones in mind.

He noted that the innovation is now available for use elsewhere in the blockchain industry, adding that the community can achieve more growth and adoption if they “build together.”

DappRadar hosts and tracks over 10,000 dApps across more than 45 blockchains and protocols,with data and insight on DeFi, NFTs and gaming among others.
