The Origin dollar price joined other cryptocurrencies in a strong sell-off as investors waited for the upcoming American inflation data. OGN, the network’s coin, is trading at $0.2170, which was the lowest level since June 18th. It has crashed by more than 40% from its highest point this month, bringing its total market cap to about $111 million.

What is Origin Protocol and why is it falling?

Origin Protocol is a blockchain project that is at the intersection of three well-known industries in the decentralized industry: DeFi and NFTs. 

DeFi is an industry that is attempting to change how people handle finances. Instead of using centralized companies like banks, DeFi is enabling people to use organizations backed by smart contracts. Anyone can participate in this Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO) by buying th OGN token.

Origin Protocol’s DeFi platform is made possible by Origin Dollar (OUSD), which is an algorithmic stablecoin. Unlike popular stablecoins like USDT and USDC, OUSD is not backed by fiat currencies. 

Like Terra UST, OUSD is an algorithmic stablecoin that aims to achieve its peg through arbitrage. According to CoinGecko, Origin Dollar has a total market cap of over $66 million, making it the 319th biggest cryptocurrency in the world.

Like Anchor Protocol, Origin’s DeFi product enables OUSD holders to earn interest by just holding the coin. At the time of writing, the coin has an APY of 12.50%, which is a higher yield than what fiat currencies like the US dollar earns. 

Origin Protocol also owns Origin Story, a platform in the NFT industry. The platform enables people to mint NFTs and sell them in the platform. They can personalize their storefronts and engage their audience easily.

The OGN price has declined recently mostly because people are worried about both the DeFi and NFT ecosystems. There are concerns about the future of the OUSD and the fact that NFT sales are falling.

Origin Protocol price prediction

The four-hour chart shows that the OGN price has been in a strong bearish trend in the past few weeks. It has managed to move below the support at $0.2365, which was the lowest level on July 1st. It has also dropped below the 25-day and 50-day moving averages while the Relative Strength Index (RSI) has moved below the oversold level.

Therefore, the Origin Protocol price will likely continue falling as sellers target the key support at $0.1900.

• Chainlink’s token LINK was recovered from the Grayscale fund

• LINK powers the decentralized oracle network

• The cryptocurrency is robust, although resistance holds it back

Chainlink’s LINK/USD may not be among the week’s strongest tokens. With 7-day gains of around 1.18%, the price has been relatively consolidating. However, it has kept key levels intact, implying a potential price take-off in the next few days.

LINK is the native token of a decentralized oracle network. Chainlink’s oracles are bridges connecting smart crypto contracts and off-chain data. Thus, the network’s continued growth is tied to the demand for smart contracts. Recently, the network announced that its smart protocols were live on the Fantom mainnet. Chainlink also, on June 7, announced a new road map that will introduce staking on the platform. The developments have been positive for LINK, which has been staging recoveries.

The most recent development has, however, been negative for LINK. On July 8, asset manager Grayscale Investments announced the removal of LINK from its Digital Large Cap Fund. The removal also included LTC, BCH, UNI, and DOT. However, the move has caused a little impact on LINK, which has been showing strengths lately. We believe LINK could stage a major comeback if it maintains key levels.

LINK recovering key level of $6.3 after slipping below it

The daily chart shows LINK trapped below the $7.4 resistance. The price has attempted a break above the level severally, but bears have taken control. The crypto’s support is currently at $6.3. MACD signal is above the moving average, meaning that the token is still bullish. We believe LINK is staging a recovery soon, although the price could remain subdued for a while. If the price fails to hold $6.3 support, it could slide to $5.6.

Summary

Chainlink’s token is robust despite its removal from the Grayscale fund. The token is recovering the $6.3 support but could remain subdued by the $7.4 resistance. Consider buying above the $5.6 support.

• Cardano’s Vasil update went live on July 3 ahead of the mainnet launch

• Whales have been accumulating the cryptocurrency ahead of the hard fork

• ADA price remains subdued, but recent accumulation points to a potential spike

Cardano’s ADA/USD is a cryptocurrency that investors are highly anticipating a comeback. The optimism relates to the expected mainnet hard fork, enhancing Cardano’s scalability. Initially set for June 29, Cardano developers rescheduled the date to clear critical issues. ADA price has since been moving with the general crypto trends. Investors are accumulating the tokens.

Santiment indicates that ADA investors boosted their holdings by nearly 80 million tokens in June. The investors have holdings that range between 10,000 and 100,000 tokens. The Santiment data also indicated that the sell-off of ADA had reduced significantly since mid-June.

Investors are banking on the Vasil upgrade, which is expected to boost the ADA price soon. The date for the final upgrade is yet to be confirmed. The Vasil update went live on the network testnet on July 3. With these developments, it is worth exploring when to buy ADA.

ADA slips to support amid bearish pressure

ADA has been trapped between $0.51 resistance and $0.44 support for a month. The moving average and MACD indicators are currently flashing bearish signs. We view the region as a potential make or break for ADA. Long-term buyers should consider buying at the $0.44 bottom. ADA would experience a lasting momentum if it successfully clears $0.51 resistance. Investors should now watch for price action and a potential bullish reversal at $0.44.

Summary

Cardano is experiencing an increased whale activity despite a bearish market. ADA price is under pressure as technical indicators reveal bearish signs. However, the price remains supported at $0.44, and a bullish reversal could occur.

The WAXP price has done well in the past few days as investors cheer the platform’s growth in the DeFi and gaming industry. WAX is trading at $0.11, which was the highest level since June 27th this year. It has surged by more than 46% from its lowest level in June, bringing its total market cap to over $231 million.

Why is Wax soaring?

WAX is a leading blockchain project that is in the gaming industry. The platform provides all features that developers need to build blockchain services, games, decentralized exchanges, and NFT products. As such, developers of all industries can easily build their products using its WAX Blockchain features.

According to its website, WAX has more than 13 NFT collectors in its ecosystem. These people use the WAX Cloud wallet, which makes it easier for people to buy, collect, and store products in its ecosystem. WAX is used by popular brands like Hasbro, AMC, Atari, and Mattel.

The WAXP price has risen in the past few days as investors react to the launch of the WAX DeFi platform. This is a platform that provides yields to participants that are based on real economic activity across the WAX ecosystem. 

According to its website, it has a total value locked (TVL) of over $5.8 million, which is remarkable since it is just a few weeks old. Also, the network was launched in a period when both DeFi and other blockchain projects has declined following the turmoil in other platforms like Voyager Digital and Celsius.

WAXP price prediction 

WAXP, like other cryptocurrencies, has had a tough time in the past few months as the cryptocurrencies unravel. On the daily chart, we see that the coin has crashed by more than 90% from its all-time high. The coin remains below the lower side of the descending triangle pattern that is shown in red. 

Recently, however, the coin has made some recovery. It has managed to move above the 25-day moving average and is now approaching the 50-day MA. At the same time, the coin’s Stochastic Oscillator has moved above the overbought level.

Therefore, there is a likelihood that the coin will keep rising as investors target the key resistance point at $0.15. This price is about 40% above the current level. A drop below the support at $0.08 will invalidate the bullish view.

The BurgerCities price has gone parabolic in the past few days as demand for the coin jumped. BURGER rose to a high of $3.45, which was the highest level since December. It has jumped by more than 1,100% above the lowest level this year, bringing its total market cap to about $12 million. 

What is BurgerCities and why is it rising?

BurgerCities is a relatively small cryptocurrency that was created in the BNB Chain ecosystem. It is a platform that combines both the metaverse and decentralized finance (DeFi). It is a gaming platform where people compete for rewards. As such, it describes itself as a MetaFi. 

In the BurgerCities ecosystem, people can engage in casual activities like gaming and socializing with the goal of earning rewards. As a metaverse project, it has also integrated the concepts of non-fungible tokens. As such, like Axie Infinity, it is possible for one to make substantial returns by taking part in its gameplay. 

Some of the most important parts of BurgerCities are the Black Market, which integrates a cross-chain aggregator of the major DEX and CEX protocols. There is also the energy plant where users can become liquidity providers and a central bank, which is the single-coin dual-mining revenue aggregator in the network. It is also possible for one to buy virtual property in its ecosystem.

The BurgerCities price is rising as investors react to the recent integration of iZUMi into their aggregation protocol. The partnership came after BurgerCities launched its aggregation protocol. Therefore, the number of DEXs in the ecosystem are MDEX, Biswap, BakerySwap, and Babyswap among others. 

Another reason why the BURGER price is rising is that of pump and dump among market participants. In the past few weeks, we have seen the number of such schemes rise.

BurgerCities price prediction

The BURGER price has made a strong recovery in the past few days. On the daily chart, it has managed to move above the descending trendline shown in blue. It has also jumped above the 25-day and 50-day moving averages while the Stochastic Oscillator has moved above the overbought level. The same is true with other oscillators like the Relative Strength Index (RSI) and the MACD.

Therefore, I suspect that the coin will soon have a pullback as sellers target the blue trendline. This is known as a break and retest pattern. If it happens, the next key support to watch will be at $1.5.
