Over the past week, Dogelon Mars (ELON) has been one of the main meme coin performers. The toke is up nearly 40% in a week or so and has shown significant bullish momentum. But how long can it sustain gains before a major sell-off? More analysis in the post but here are some important facts first.

• Dogelon Mars has outperformed the entire market by almost 15% in the past week.

• The coin has closed higher in the last four days in a row

• In the last two days alone, ELON has surged by over 25%.

Dogelon Mars (ELON) – Can bulls maintain the uptrend?

Despite this recent surge, it seems like the price action has been bouncing off two crucial support and resistance zones. In fact, ELON has tried to surge past the overhead resistance zone of $0.0000012, but bulls have not managed to get enough demand. The coin is however getting closer and closer and could break through in the coming days. 

If this happens, then we should have a sustained upward breakout that could deliver minimal gains of about 30%. Also, the sentiment in the crypto market is showing good signs. This means that investor appetite towards meme coins, which are largely speculative assets, is returning. For this reason, it is likely that in the near term, ELON will report more and more gains.

Is Dogelon Mars a good buy now?

The key for short-term traders is to watch the $0.0000012 price. If the meme coin can rise above this, then it is likely that more gains will come. We are looking at an upswing of around 30% before any pullback. 

So, with that in mind, Dogelon is a good buy. But from a long-term point of view, it would be best to wait until sentiment in the crypto market has fully stabilised before jumping in.

With hype a key price driver during alt-season, ApeCoin could be better.

• Shiba Inu is a meme coin that took the markets by storm in 2021 after it rallied by millions of percentages.

• ApeCoin is the new kid on the block in terms of hype, driven by its connection to the bored Ape NFT community.

• Now that alt-season is starting, ApeCoin makes for a better buy for investors looking to capitalize on the hype. 

Shiba Inu SHIB/USD is a meme coin that came to prominence in 2021. It went on to record gains of over 48,000,000%. Shiba Inu was largely driven by the hype around meme coins that Elon Musk triggered in 2020. Shiba Inu continues to be one of the meme coins that hold a lot of potential going into the future.

That’s because there are lots of investors who are still betting heavily on meme coins. This is driven by expectations of a repeat of the gains of 2021 at some point in the future. Besides, the Shiba Inu team is working hard to improve SHIB’s core metrics. For instance, the team is in the process of building a Metaverse platform. With the massive potential that the Metaverse holds, this is a factor that could see SHIB perform well in the future. 

On its part, ApeCoin APE/USD is the new kid on the block and is attracting all the hype. ApeCoin rallied by over 2000% since launch and continues to draw high volumes relative to most cryptocurrencies in the market. This has a lot to do with its connection to the Bored Ape community, which at the moment, is the most popular NFT community in the market. 

So, which one is a better buy?

Both Shiba Inu and ApeCoin are good investments. However, now that alt-season seems to be kicking off, it is best to move with the flow to maximize gains. Using this approach, ApeCoin is a much better buy than Shiba Inu at the moment. The odds are in its favor since it is currently drawing a lot of hype. 

Summary

Shiba Inu and ApeCoin are both fantastic long-term investments. However, for an investor looking to make the most out of their investment short term, ApeCoin has more potential. There is a lot of hype around it, and it’s now where Shiba Inu was back in January 2021.

Following the hack, Ronin bridge and Katana DEX have both been halted.

Ronin however said in the Twitter thread touching on the exploit that its team is working with “law enforcement officials, forensic cryptographers, and our investors to make sure that all funds are recovered or reimbursed.” It also said that “all of the AXS, RON, and SLP on Ronin are safe.”

What we know about the hack so far

According to an official communication of Ronin Network on Substack, the hacker managed to take over the control of four of Sky Mavi’s Ronin validators together with a third-party validator managed by the Axie DAO.

The Sky Mavi’s Ronin chain consists of nine validator nodes and five out of the nine are required to append their signatures for a deposit or withdrawal to be recognized. Although the validator key scheme is decentralized and built to limit an attack vector like the one that just occurred, the hacker found a backdoor through the network’s gas-free RPC node and got the signature for the Axie DAO.

At the time of writing, the RON token, which is Ronin’s native governance token, had dropped by over 20% over the past one hour.

The crypto market is often associated with high volatility, wild swings in prices, and stories of rags to riches as well. It’s therefore very hard to look at crypto-assets as serious stores of wealth. But there are actually some coins that can help preserve your money without you taking so much risk: Here is how:

• The crypto market these days has Stablecoins which are typically pegged on real assets.

• Some crypto assets have minimal volatility too, including the mega caps.

• You can buy crypto assets pegged on things like gold and other precious metals.

In case you are searching for coins that can offer you some stability in crypto, we have three here below to check out.

Pax Gold (PAXG)

As noted above, there are stablecoins in the market that are pegged on gold. Pax Gold (PAXG) is one of them. This is basically a crypto asset whose value is directly based or correlated with the price of gold.

In essence, you get to store your asset in decentralized systems while getting the assurance of gold as a store of wealth. Many investors look at gold as the ultimate safe haven during times of volatility. PAX Gold helps you rely on gold in its crypto form.

PAX Dollar (USDP)

The Pax Dollar (USDP) is a stablecoin that is pegged on the US dollar. Just like the PAX Gold coin, its price is directly correlated with the US dollar. So, if you don’t want to put your money in fiat form, you can ditch the bank and store your dollars in crypto form. 

Tether (USDT)

Tether (USDT) is also backed by the US dollar. However, unlike PAX Dollar, it actually has much more trade volume and market cap. In fact, Tether is the most popular USD-based stablecoin in the world. It will let you store your dollars in the blockchain easily.

As the crypto market rallies at the start of the week, coins like Dent (DENT) have posted double-digit daily gains with weekly rallies of over 30% or so. But as with every bullish run, a pullback is always around the corner. For DENT, there seems to be a capped upward potential. Here is what you need to know:

• The coin has rallied by 11% in the last 24 hours

• Dent is also up by around 30% over the last 7 days.

• The recent upswing is likely to continue before capping at a crucial resistance.

Dent (DENT) – Why is upward momentum capped?

After gaining nearly 30% over the last 7 days, it seems like DENT still has some room to grow. However, we do not expect the coin to truly trend upwards for long. At the moment, DENT is trading at $0.034. There are two important resistance zones to watch. 

The first one is the $0.035 mark, and the second is the $0.41. As of now, it seems like DENT is testing the first resistance zone but is yet to break through. In fact, in 24-hour trading, we saw some significant pullback from the morning sessions, where daily gains dropped from 15% to around 11%.

This could suggest that weakness at $0.35 is coming, and DENT may as well fail to surge past that first hurdle. If indeed this happens, DENT is likely to fall sharply before the end of the week. But if bulls can rally above $0.35, then $0.41 will be next.

Is DENT worth buying?

There is no momentum right now, to be fair. Yes, the coin has pushed up in the last 7 days, but we expect it to trade mostly sideways in the coming days as bulls try to smash past the crucial resistance we have talked about above. It would therefore be better to wait until the price has pulled back slightly.
