Despite news of another potential round of interest rate hikes, there is every reason to consider investing in cryptocurrencies at current prices. 

For starters, those with the most stake in the market are not selling their holdings. For instance, data shows that Bitcoin whales are not only holding but also adding to their positions.

Data also shows a lot of Bitcoin buying around the $20k level. This is an indicator that investors are confident of a potential rebound. With this in mind, it makes sense to consider buying into high-quality cryptocurrencies, which are most likely to do well once the market turns a corner.

Wondering which cryptocurrencies meet this metric? Lucky for you, we have researched and compiled some of the best cryptocurrencies to buy when cryptocurrencies could be trading at the bottom. 

XRP (XRP)

XRP (XRP) tends to do well when Ripple has good news. It also gets hit by the negatives, hence XRP’s underperformance since Ripple got sued by the SEC. However, besides signs that the case could be near its end, there are signs that the finance industry still has lots of faith in Ripple.

This is evident in the growing number of partnerships that Ripple is landing, especially in Asia. The latest of these is a partnership between Ripple and FOMO Pay, one of the top financial institutions in Singapore. 

FOMO Pay aims to improve its transactional liquidity using Ripple’s on-demand liquidity. Since XRP is an integral part of this system, it comes off as a viable cryptocurrency to buy today. 

Cardano (ADA)

Cardano (ADA) has lost much of its value since the cryptocurrency bear market started in December 2022. However, Cardano’s on-chain metrics indicate that this cryptocurrency could be about to turn a corner. Data by Santiment, one of the largest cryptocurrency data providers, shows that Cardano’s average funding rate points to a potential rally for Cardano. 

According to Santiment, there has been a sharp increase in the number of ADA longs liquidated. If past instances are anything to go by, then the odds are that Cardano is at a buy position at current prices. With Bitcoin holding and bouncing off key support, it is not hard to see why ADA could be positioned for a rally. 

Dogecoin (DOGE)

Elon Musk’s favorite meme coin has much potential if the markets show bullish signs again. Besides the hype that Dogecoin (DOGE) gets from Musk, a lot is going for it that could see its value go up in the year. 

One of them is technology upgrades aimed at making DOGE perform better as an everyday payment currency. The latest such move is to migrate Dogecoin nodes to a new core, dubbed v.14.6. This upgrade, among others currently happening in the Dogecoin ecosystem, could help drive up Dogecoin’s price higher if there is a market rally in 2022.

• Avalanche is trading at the breakout zone after correcting in a bear market

• The Fed’s policy move on Wednesday will determine the price move

• Watch for the close of the daily candlestick for a possible reversal or bear continuation

Most cryptocurrencies are correcting after the recent gains. Profit taking and Fed’s policy action on Wednesday is playing a role. Cryptocurrencies like Avalanche AVAX/USD had previously breached key levels. They remain on the watch list should the Fed hold a soft stance regarding policy tightening.

AVAX is trading at $20.12. The level is close to or at the support of $20.95. AVAX traded and consolidated at $26 as the price pushed through the $20.95 resistance. At the current price, the token is seemingly looking to crash back into the consolidation zone. Nonetheless, it can’t be confirmed yet that AVAX has slipped below the $20.95 support. We need the close of the daily candlestick for confirmation.

Technically, the Avalanche token is bearish at or slightly below the $20.95 support. The short-term moving averages have moved above price and could add bear weakness. The MACD indicator is also about to close below the moving average in a bear market.

While bear pressure remains on AVAX, we cannot confirm a break below the $20.95. Investors should watch for the close of the daily candlestick. It could be a false breakout if the candlestick closes above the support. In that case, a buy signal would be generated. That would, of course, be subject to the prevailing crypto sentiment.

If AVAX closes below the $20.95 support, with a bear crypto sentiment, weakness will continue. The next potential support for the token is $16.

Summary

AVAX is yet to confirm a bearish momentum despite breaking slightly below the $20.95 support. The token could reverse if the daily candlestick closes above the support.

• Uniswap has hinted at plans for a Full Sudoswap Support

• Uniswap token is under pressure but remains in an uptrend

• $5.6 is the immediate level to watch should weakness continue

Uniswap UNI/USD is correcting after the recent gains that saw the token top $7.70 on July 19. The token has been largely consolidating since July 16. A breakout of the key levels seems unlikely as weaknesses continue to grow. 

The latest weakness in the Uniswap token comes amid positive developments on the network. On June 22, Uniswap’s head of NFT products, Scott Lewis, announced plans for Full Sudoswap Support. The integration of Sudoswap, an NFT exchange, will allow the trading of NFTs on the platform. The trading is indicated to start around the fall. 

The full integration of NFTs through Sudoswap support is positive for Uniswap and its native token. That would detach Uniswap from other platforms such as OpenSea for NFTs. The integration will also enable NFT DEXs and other products on the platforms. The developments strengthen the use cases of UNI.

The news, of course, complements the latest development where the UNI token was listed on Robinhood. We believe UNI is only correcting after the latest gains, and investors should consider buying lower.

Technically, UNI remains on an uptrend despite the latest weakness. The cryptocurrency met a minor resistance at $7.4 and is dropping lower. The MACD line is closing below the moving average, indicating a bearish pressure. 

We believe UNI will continue dropping to find support at $5.6. A further drop to $4.1 support will depend on the prevailing crypto sentiment. However, we believe UNI has strong fundamentals to make a comeback. Investors should monitor the token.

Summary

Uniswap is bearish but remains solid on an uptrend. Technical indicators suggest a further price drop. Investors should watch for a bullish reversal at $5.6.

HBAR, the native token of the Hedera ecosystem, has been underperforming despite achieving a new milestone. 

The cryptocurrency market has continued its poor start to the week. Over the last 24 hours, the cryptocurrency market has lost nearly 5% of its value. As a result, the total market cap has dropped below the $1 trillion mark for the first time this week.

Bitcoin has dropped below $22k and could lose the support level around $21k if the bears continue to remain in control. 

Ether, the second largest cryptocurrency by market cap, is also down by more than 9% in the last 24 hours and currently trades below the $1,500 psychological level.

However, HBAR, the native token of the Hedera blockchain, has been underperforming over the last 24 hours. HBAR has lost more than 6% of its value so far today and could be in line for further losses.

HBAR’s poor performance comes despite the Hedera network reaching a new milestone. 

According to the HBAR Foundation, the development team behind the Hedera blockchain, the Hedera network has reached one million HBAR accounts on the Hedera mainnet. 

We’ve now passed 1,000,000+ #HBAR accounts on the @Hedera mainnet 🚀

With the #HederaNFT community blowing up, grantees going live, and #DeFi & #GameFi about to take off – we look forward to seeing all the #HBARbarians new and old at 2,000,000+ 🔥 #HederaHeatWave pic.twitter.com/Hnl4KjlNn1

Key levels to watch

The HBAR/USD 4-hour chart is bearish as Hedera has been underperforming over the past few days. The technical indicators show that HBAR could struggle further over the coming hours or days. 

The MACD is below the neutral zone, indicating strong bearish momentum for HBAR. The 14-day relative strength index of 37 also shows that HBAR could soon enter the oversold region.

At press time, HBAR is trading at $0.06364 per coin. If the bearish trend continues, HBAR could drop below the $0.06035 support level before the end of the day.

Unless there is an extended losing streak, HBAR should maintain its price above the $0.005860 support level in the short term.

Cryptocurrency prices have had a brutal pullback this week as investors wait for the upcoming Fed interest rate decision. Some coins like Ethereum ans Bitcoin have dropped by more than 10% from their highest points this month. Still, some cryptocurrencies are doing well as they defy gravity. 

Marlin (POND) 

Marlin price has done well in the past 24 hours. According to Binance, the POND coin has risen by over 30%, making it the best-performing coin in its ecosystem. 

For starters, Marlin is a relatively small blockchain project whose token has a total market cap of over $62 million, making it the 342nd biggest cryptocurrency in the world. 

Marlin Protocol is a platform that helps developers building Decentralized Exchanges (DEX), cloud and storage systems, Internet of Things (IoT), and gaming platforms accelerate their projects. It delivers scalability, resiliency, and decentralization at layer 0 by optimizing the network architecture underneath blockchains. 

Spartan Protocol (SPARTA) 

Spartan Protocol is another cryptocurrency that is defying gravity. The SPARTA coin has risen by 10% in the past 24 hours, giving it a market cap of more than $5.7 million.

Spartan Protocol, which is built on the BNB Chain, pairs a unique liquidity-sensitive AMM algorithm with low gas fees and fast settlement to provide a range of open, permissionless DeFi services to users. 

It simply lets people trade easily on the BNB blockchain. According to its website, it has a total value locked of over $1.9 million while the total swap volume has been falling. 

SPARTA price has jumped sharply as investors reacted to news that the coin was added to Bitrue, a leading crypto exchange. 

Komodo (KMD) 

Komodo is another cryptocurrency that is defying gravity. The KMD crypto price has risen by more than 10% in the past 24 hours, giving it a market cap to over $39 million. 

Komodo is a leading blockchain platform that enables developers to build scalable applications. Some of the most notable companies that use Komodo are Abra, Guarda, Travala, ShibaDEX, ChainZilla, and Atomic DEX. 

It is unclear whether these three coins will continue rising this week. Indeed, these days, some of the best performing cryptocurrencies in a given day are some of the worst performing in the following day. For example, the best performing coins on Monday are the worst performers on Tuesday. They include Quant, Near Protocol, Render Token, and Adventure Gold.
