FTM soars by 10% after Fantom integrates with Ledger Live

  • FTM has been the best performer amongst the top 100 cryptocurrencies by market cap in the last 24 hours.

  • The rally comes after Fantom announced its integration with Ledger Live. 

  • FTM could rally toward the $0.270 resistance level in the near term.

Fantom integrates with Ledger Live

FTM, the native token of the Fantom blockchain, is the best performer amongst the top 100 cryptocurrencies by market cap so far today. It has added 10% to its value in the last 24 hours. 

The rally comes after the Fantom Foundation announced that Fantom had integrated with Ledger Live. 

Ledger is one of the leading hardware wallet manufacturers in the cryptocurrency space. This latest cryptocurrency news means that users can now send, receive and view their FTM directly through the Ledger Live app.

The broader crypto market has been performing well since its poor start to the week. The total crypto market cap is now above $850 billion after adding 2% to its value over the last few hours.

Bitcoin is also up by more than 2% in the last 24 hours. At press time, the price of Bitcoin stands close to the $17k resistance level. 

Key levels to watch

The FTM/USD 4-hour chart is bullish, as Fantom has been performing well in the last few days. Technical indicators show that FTM is outperforming the broader cryptocurrency market.

With the MACD line above the neutral zone, bulls are currently in control of the Fantom market. Furthermore, the 14-day relative strength index (RSI) of 84 indicates that FTM is very close to entering the overbought zone.

At press time, FTM is trading at $0.2395 per coin. With the bulls still in charge, FTM could surge past the $0.270 resistance level in the coming hours. 

However, FTM would need the support of the broader cryptocurrency market to break past the $0.30 resistance level for the first time in nearly one month.

Is Crypto.com token about to claim another yearly low?

  • Crypto.com token has been hit by confidence crisis post-FTX collapse

  • Massive withdrawals were reported on Crypto.com earlier this month

  • The toke trades at the lowest in the year and could fall further

It has been a low moment for crypto firm and exchange-related tokens. A prolonged crypto winter has brought a wave of liquidity crisis for most tokens. The latest FTX exchange collapse sent shock waves across the sector. For an exchange that was once ‘secure,’ investors may have learned the hard way. Crypto.com (CRO/USD) is one cryptocurrency that has suffered in the aftermath.

CRO traded at $0.0638, a yearly low. Despite holding to the level for the past two weeks, the cryptocurrency was trading with falling momentum. That comes even as the crypto exchange saw massive investor outflows, days after the collapse of FTX. Crypto.com created “proof of reserves” dashboards post-FTX saga, but that did not soothe investors.

As a confidence crisis sweeps across the crypto sector, it may take time before CRO recovers to its former self. A technical outlook shows that a new yearly low is on the horizon if buyers do not arrest the falling momentum.

CRO is under pressure at a key consolidation area

CRO/USD Chart by TradingView

The daily chart outlook shows CRO on a downward momentum. Pressure is mounting at $0.06, an area the cryptocurrency has been holding for a while now. The RSI is slightly above the oversold level.

A new bottom for CRO?

A prolonged consolidation at $0.06 gives hope that CRO could initiate a recovery. However, with the price remaining under pressure, the cryptocurrency may touch a new low. 

If the price continues lower, $0.057 is the new low to watch. A recovery above $0.075 could ignite a further recovery in the token.

Should you buy Shiba Inu as whale accumulation intensifies?

  • Shiba Inu has recovered 11% in a week.

  • Shiba Inu token has witnessed increased activity amid improving altcoin sentiment.

  • SHIB is still bearish and could remain vulnerable to $0.0000075.

Shiba Inu (SHIB/USD) large investors are defiantly transacting the token against the prolonged bear market. November 28 WhaleStats data showed that SHIB was among the top 10 cryptocurrencies by trading volume among the biggest Ethereum whales. IntoTheBlock data also showed that large transactions on the Shiba Inu network had increased by 141% in the last 24 hours.

A spike in trading volumes and transactions indicates traders are buying or selling SHIB aggressively. However, a price outlook of SHIB shows the cryptocurrency has gained an intraday of 2.24% and 11% in a week. It suggests that large investors could, in fact, be buying the meme cryptocurrency.

The whale activity on Shiba Inu comes when Santiment data shows growing interest in altcoins. According to the data, Euphoric sentiment has hit a 3-month high for altcoins. As CoinJournal reported, Dogecoin was leading the surge on Musk news. The gains in SHIB reflect the improved sentiment, with the meme cryptocurrency known to follow DOGE moves.

SHIB price outlook and analysis amid weekly recoveries

SHIB/USD Chart by TradingView

On the technical side, the SHIB price is still in a bear market. The MACD indicator has initiated a bullish crossover but remains bearish. The RSI reading of 45 is well below the midpoint.

Besides, recent recoveries have taken SHIB to slightly above $0.000009. However, bulls are yet to recapture important levels. We consider a bearish view for SHIB in the short term.

When to buy SHIB?

SHIB price remains vulnerable as long as buyers do not recapture $0.000012. The level is the established resistance and a focal point for the SHIB trend pivot.

Even as the price recovers slightly, the upside is weak, meaning sellers could try to push the token lower again. In a bear scenario, SHIB could find support at $0.0000075. This is the same low as June before the cryptocurrency initiated a recovery.

Is selling now overdone for the Compound token?

  • The Compound token has been stable after a bear market

  • Prolonged crypto winter and liquidity issues facing crypto firms remain a threat

  • COMP token could accelerate weakness if buying strength remains weak

The Compound token (COMP/USD) looked poised for a sustained recovery in June. Since recovering from the June bottom price of $26, the token remained bullish, hitting $70 in August. Since then, weaknesses have brought the token down to $37. However, for 3 weeks, the cryptocurrency has been trading at the same level. We investigate if it’s worth calling for a buy trade at the crucial zone. But first, why has COMP been unable to replicate gains?

The Compound is a decentralised protocol that makes it possible to lend and borrow crypto. In other words, Compound takes away the role of middlemen in traditional finance. It allows financial services through smart contracts and in a decentralised manner. Coupled with the backing of the Ethereum blockchain, Compound grew as an important DeFi project.

A liquidity crunch impacting crypto firms has slowed the growth of DeFi and leading blockchains in the sector. The latest to fall victim in the sector is BlockFi. The once-popular crypto lender filed for bankruptcy on Monday. BlockFi joins the growing list of Voyager, Celsius, Three Arrows Capital, and FTX, which have faced bankruptcy.

The latest development may not be good cryptocurrency news for protocols such as Compound. Its native token, COMP, is consolidating ahead of the next move.

COMP battling $43 resistance amid price consolidation

COMP/USD Chart by TradingView

Technically, COMP is consolidating in a bear market. The cryptocurrency lost the $43 level, which has now become a resistance zone.

The moving averages are bearish for the cryptocurrency and offer resistance above.

What next for COMP?

While consolidation at $35-$37 suggests that bears are getting exhausted, it does not signal a buyer’s activity. The cryptocurrency lacks the upside, with the resistance and moving averages above a stumbling block.

For the COMP price to go higher, the cryptocurrency must recover above $43. Otherwise, the June lows of $26 remain in sight.
