The crypto market has simply crashed in January. Most coins are trading in the red and it doesn’t seem like there is enough demand for a rally in the near term. So, this gives bargain hunters the perfect chance to buy heavily discounted coins. Here is why this makes sense:

• A pullback like this is not new to crypto, in fact, it has happened before and the prices have rebounded sharply.

• Crypto has seen the rise of many innovative projects, especially in the altcoin space.

• We will see major rallies in the market no doubt, and those who get in now can make big returns.

Well, the following is your ultimate altcoin shopping list, indicating three of the best tokens to buy right now?

Polygon (MATIC)

Polygon (MATIC) bills itself as an Ethereum scaling solution designed to deliver faster speeds and lower fees. It has actually been making major moves in the last few months, acquiring a series of new projects as well.

Polygon and its native token MATIC have also seen immense growth in 2021 and we expect this to continue in the future.  At press time, MATIC was selling for $1.65.

Avalanche (AVAX)

Avalanche (AVAX) is a smart contract platform that also strives to offer better speeds and lower fees. It is also seen as a direct competitor to Ethereum and has been one the fastest-growing tokens in the last 12 months. Right now, AVAX, its native token, is trading at $67.16.

Yearn Finance (YFI)

In case you are thinking of investing money into a DeFi project with a lot of upside potential, then you will enjoy Yearn Finance (YFI). The token has been getting a lot of new features and more investment as well. At the time of writing, it was selling for $24,699.57 with a market cap of around $900 million.

ICP volumes even as the broader market turns bullish

Key points:

•  ICP rebounds but volumes are lower than most major cryptos

•  ICP needs to break 38.2% Fib resistance at $23.15 for trend confirmation.

•  Broader market momentum is still a major factor.

Internet Computer (ICP/USD) has been on an uptrend for the last 48-hours. This is pretty much in line with the broader market, which has been in the green since Bitcoin bounced off lows of $32,800.

However, unlike most major cryptocurrencies, ICP’s rebound has not been strong. For most of the last 48-hours, ICP has been range-bound below the 23.6% Fibonacci resistance at $21.18.

Internet Computer yet to gain traction

With the Internet Computer, blockchain finally becomes what it was always meant to be – an open and distributed medium for applications. The revolutionary design unlocking smart contracts‘ full potential proves that this technology has so much more in store than just financial transactions or storing data securely. Internet Computer aims to create entire decentralised economies.

While it has a powerful value proposition, Internet Computer has not had the best of runs since it launched. Issues touching on its decentralisation came up a few months after it launched. What followed was a value collapse from over $400 to under $30.

Internet Computer is currently trading at $21.64 and has been gaining for the past 48-hours. This is in-line with the price action in the broader cryptocurrency market.

On the 1-hour chart, ICP has been gaining momentum for the last 48-hours. However, for most of that time, volumes have been low, and ICP has been consolidating below the 23.6% Fibonacci resistance at $21.18.

It is only in the last 6-hours that it has managed to push through the 23.6% Fibonacci resistance, but volumes are low. If volumes remain low, there is a risk that ICP could fall back below the $21.18 price level. In such a case, ICP could easily dip below $20.

However, if the broader market remains strongly bullish, ICP could not only hold above $21.18, but also possibly break the 38.2% Fibonacci resistance at $23.15. In such a case, ICP could easily trade above $25 in the course of the week.

With raving news around the NFT marketplace and the metaverse, it seems this evolution of the crypto world will leave a mark on most other digital currencies. And making Shiba Inu an exceptional identity of the metaverse world, which would impose a great focus on its asset value.

Following a tweet from the Shiba Inu Twitter page on January 24th, 2022. The Shiba Inu network announced their recent plan for joining the metaverse with a giant epithet that replaced the suffix „A“ alphabet with a new term that represents the actual metaverse description known as „verse“. Shibaverse has been coined from the commonly known original Shiba Inu token popularly recognised name.

While there might be joy coming through the end of the news. However, the Shibaverse autonomy does not purely associate with the original Shiba Inu blockchain. Instead, both Shibaverse and Shiba Inu tokens are not under similar developers. Though the effect of the announcement can spark buying interest in the native Shiba Inu Trading ecosystem. Thereby, causing its value to gain positive attraction upon the arrival into the metaverse.

Technical levels to watch before buying Shiba Inu

And with the recent sell-off the cryptocurrency market had undergone in the past few days, this should at least ring a buying signal in the ears of the market players.

Final thoughts

To prevent the price from retesting the $0.00001972 horizontal support. A decent approach to the market will be to go long and create an exit point along with the $0.00002598 resistance.

Metaverse and blockchain gaming tokens have been hit hard in the recent crypto slump. Decentraland (MANA) is not any different. The token has seen a sharp decline, and even though it has been rallying in recent days, MANA is still not yet out of the woods. Here are some highlights:

• At the time of writing, the coin was up by nearly 10% in 24 hours, trading at around $2.06

• But indicators still remain bearish and in fact, the recent gains will slip away as MANA is expected to dip towards $1.46.

• However, we are watching to see how long the price can sustain above the next support level of $1.92.

Decentraland (MANA) – Bear pressure still remains

The key in the recent price action is the 200-day simple moving average of $1.92. Yes, MANA is right now trading above this. However, due to recent volatility in the broader crypto, it is highly unlikely that the metaverse token will sustain gains well above that threshold. 

If anything, analysts expect it to slide past $1.92 and find the next support of $1.46. This will represent a 28% wipeout compared to prices today. 

If the coin fails to consolidate at $1.46, bears will target $1.01 in what will be a sharp fall for the token. But all this depends on how well sentiment picks up in crypto in the coming days.

Why you should still buy Decentraland (MANA)

Metaverse tokens will heat up in 2022 and beyond. We expect more and more such tokens to come out but no doubt, Decentraland, and a few others remain key pioneers in this space. 

It’s therefore a decent coin to own. But we have always felt that these tokens are overpriced. The recent crypto correction offers the perfect chance for fair pricing and for investors to indeed buy in.

Despite the general carnage in crypto over the last week or so, Terra (LUNA) has remained one of the most resilient coins. The token is now finding strong support at the $65 mark and appears to be on a consolidation phase. But can bulls push the price action towards $75? Well, here are some highlights first:

• Despite falling slightly by around 2%, Terra (LUNA) still is still trading around the $65 mark.

• The momentum oscillators show that the token is oversold, suggesting little room for any serious sell-off.

• LUNA has shown great resilience, surging from lows of $37 recently to hitting $65 in price.

Terra (LUNA) – Will it head to $75

Multiple signals appear to suggest that we may have seen a trend reversal in LUNA’s price action. After falling from recent highs of around $90, the token is now getting strong support and consolidation at $65. 

This makes LUNA a prime target for bullish action that could send the price to $75 at the very least. We are also closely looking at momentum oscillators that appear to show an oversold asset. This may indicate that a major sell-off is at the moment not on the cards. 

For these reasons, we expect a corrective bounce in the price that will at least push the price action further above. However, with the crypto market still showing signs of volatility, further downward pressure is still possible.

Is LUNA a decent investment?

Terra is one of the fastest-growing blockchains in the world. It has seen superb gains over the last few years and promises to dominate the crypto market in the future. For any serious crypto investor, this is a must-have token. The fact that it is trading nearly 50% from all-time highs means that you can get in at a decent bargain.
