From a technical analysis perspective, FLOW is a better bet short term

Key points:

• The overall cryptocurrency market is bearish, but in the short term, some coins have good prospects.

• FLOW is one of the cryptocurrencies that currently have strong buying volumes and are promising in the short term.

• Cardano is bearish short-term but has the fundamentals to gain long-term value.

The cryptocurrency market is bearish at the moment, so everything is in the red. While buying any top crypto today has significant odds of long growth term, it’s not the case in the short term.

 More short term, some cryptos can do better than others depending on money flow and short-term news. Technical analysis is one way to tell which crypto can do better than the rest short term.

In this context, between Cardano and Flow, Flow is a much better trade in the short term.

Flow (FLOW) Chart analysis

In the past 72 hours, Flow FLOW/USD buying volumes have risen. On 26th June 2022, FLOW dropped slightly before making a double bottom and rallying again. This indicates that bullish momentum is on the rise, and it could keep rallying going into the future. If FLOW can push through resistance at $1.75, it could easily test $2 or more in the short to medium term.

Cardano (ADA) price analysis

Cardano ADA/USD has been bearish for more than 72 hours. In the last 24 hours alone, Cardano has been making lower lows, an indicator that sellers have crashed every attempt by bulls to retake the market. 

When writing this article, Cardano bulls attempted to retake control, but volumes were low. If bulls can push Cardano through the day’s high of $0.489, it could break out of the current bearish trend in the short term.

However, with buying volumes low and the broader market overall bearish, the odds seem low for Cardano to pull off such a move in the very short term. Besides, no major news is coming up anytime in the next couple of weeks.

Conclusion

FLOW holds much more promise in the short term than Cardano. The charts show strong buying momentum, while Cardano is stuck in a bear trend with low buying volumes.

That said, the two cryptocurrencies have a lot of promise in the long run – the fundamentals are in their favor. Cardano is one of the most promising platform blockchains in the market today, thanks to its mix of security, decentralization, and scalability. The recent launch of Cardano smart contracts has added to its intrinsic value, and as adoption grows, Cardano’s price is likely to go up as well. 

On its part, FLOW is one of the fastest-growing smart contracts cryptocurrencies in the market today. Today, FLOW has a wide ecosystem of Web 3.0 projects building on top of it, and the numbers will only rise over time. The same will reflect in the price of FLOW over the years.

Polygon and Loopring are gaining upside momentum ahead of the Ethereum merge.

Key points:

• Polygon is trading sideways as the rest of the market drops, indicating buyers are still in the market.

• Loopring is making a V-shaped recovery, indicating that bulls are entering the market ahead of the Ethereum merge.

• Both Polygon and Loopring have strong odds for growth over and above hype around the Ethereum merge. 

Ethereum ETH/USD is in the process of an upgrade to Ethereum 2.0. According to tweets by Ethereum core developers, the move to Ethereum 2.0 is expected to be completed by August 2022. The implications will be positive not just for Ethereum but also for Ethereum layer-2 solutions. Among the cryptocurrencies that are expected to benefit immensely from Ethereum’s shift to a Proof-of-Stake chain are Polygon and Loopring.

Polygon prospects in 2022

After a rally between April 22nd and 24th, Polygon MATIC/USD bulls lost momentum. However, unlike most heavily bearish cryptocurrencies, Polygon is now directionless.

This indicates that bulls still have a significant presence in the market, and can be linked to the upcoming Ethereum merge in August. If the merge comes and Ethereum gains upside momentum, Polygon, too, could see an increase in adoption. In such a case, the critical level to watch would be $0.618, a fundamental resistance level in the very short term. If this resistance is broken, and Polygon holds above it until the Ethereum merge, it could easily retest prices above its most recent highs in the short to medium term.

Besides the hype around the merge, there are strong underlying factors that could see Polygon keep gaining in value in the future. The most important one is that Polygon already has a strong ecosystem of Dapps running on top of it. This means that the Ethereum merge will only augment the number of projects running on the Polygon chain. This will add to the intrinsic value of MATIC tokens since MATIC is the native token to the Polygon ecosystem. 

The fact that Polygon is a deflationary token further adds to its potential to rally going into the future. 

Loopring prospects in 2022

Loopring LRC/USD is another Ethereum layer-2 solution that has the potential to rally once the Ethereum merge happens. Already its price action is showing potential anticipation by investors of a rally. 

For instance, after a dip between 25th and 27th, Loopring is making a rebound. When writing this article, Loopring was making a V-shaped recovery, and if the merge happens, Loopring could see a sustained rally that could extend throughout the year.

Besides such a potential short-term rally, there is much to look forward to in terms of LoopRing’s long-term price action. For context, Loopring already has a strong and fast-growing ecosystem of Ethereum tokens trading on top of it. Fast execution speeds and low costs make it one of the best in the market.
