There has been a lot of talk about the crypto rally over the last two weeks or so. Many coins have posted gains in double digits, while others like Zilliqa have hogged the headlines with their massive uptrends. Why has the crypto market surged anyway? Here are some reasons:

• Uncertainty around the fed rate hike appears to have died out.

• Investors are flocking into crypto as a bet against growing inflation.

• The downtrend at the start of 2022 has provided the perfect dip to buy in.

Well, with all the factors above, a few coins appear to have really rallied, and yet they haven’t gotten a lot of attention. Here they are:

Aave (AAVE)

As one of the leading DeFi protocols in the world, Aave (AAVE) has always had a positive long-term outlook. But the last two months have been quite volatile for the coin. It had bottomed to new yearly lows in 2022, and there was very little hope of any rebound.

Despite this, AAVE has rebounded sharply and in fact, the coin has posted gains of nearly 50% over the last 7 days. This is one of the best weeks for AAVE this year.

Chiliz (CHZ)

The story of Chiliz (CHZ) is also filled with surprising turns. Like many altcoins, it was routed during the start of the year and failed to find any serious upward momentum. But just out of nowhere, the coin started to shoot up and has maintained that uptrend ever since. CHZ has gained over 50% in the past week alone.

STEPN (GMT)

We were expecting STEPN (GMT) to see gains in the last few days. But so far, the bullish breakout has been astonishing. The coin has delivered 80% in gains in just a day and is already up by a whopping 180% over the last 7 days. It is one of the top performers in crypto now.

When Solana (SOL) was launched, it was seen as the most serious alternative for Ethereum. Ever since the blockchain has seen massive growth and continues to attract a host of top projects as well. But why is Solana highly rated by developers around the world? Here are the main reasons:

• The chain offers high scalability for DAPPs.

• The overall gas fees are way lower compared to other blockchains.

• Solana also runs various incentives designed to bring in as many developers as possible.

For investors looking for promising projects built on the Solana blockchain, we have a list of three here below that you can check out:

Serum (SRM)

Serum (SRM) is the main DEX for the Solana network. It is designed to reflect all the attributes of the blockchain, including better speeds, security, and low fees. Serum is however more than just an exchange.

It’s an integrated DeFi protocol as well that allows it to offer additional services like staking and others. So far, the Serum DEX has a market cap of around $453 million. There is more room for Serum to surge in the long term.

Star Atlas (ATLAS)

Play-to-earn is seen as one of the most promising subsectors of the blockchain industry. We have seen these games go on to report massive gains in 2021, and this trend is likely to continue. 

Solana has also attracted its fair share of Play-to-earn, and Star Atlas (ATLAS) is one of the most notable ones. The game is developed by the Unreal engine and is set in an immersive virtual universe.

Raydium (RAY)

Raydium (RAY) is a liquidity provider that works using an automated market maker protocol. The goal for Raydium is to provide liquidity for the Serum DEX, but there are plans to expand it further. RAY is currently on a market cap of $350 million.

Waves (WAVES) has hit record highs in a recent bullish run that appears to be stronger than ever. The coin has smashed past several key indicators and looks like bulls still have a lot of room to run. So, what should you expect next? More on this to follow but first, here are some notable developments:

• Waves had rallied nearly 50% in 24 hours though it retreated slightly.

• The 24-hour surge is part of a weekly uptrend that we saw last week.

• The coin has now smashed past its all-time highs.

Waves (WAVES) – What comes next?

The rally today came on major news from the platform. Waves will now begin operations in the US and is setting aside a lot of money to bring in developers to the ecosystem. But this is not the only thing. Over the last 2 weeks, the coin has been rising and rising. 

It has gone past several resistance zones and unleashed a bullish momentum that has taken it well above its ATH. Although it is likely Waves will pull back, we do not see this happening in the coming days. 

In fact, waves is likely to test $60 in the days ahead before any sell-off even comes into the picture. The coin has for now paired all losses reported this year and is looking forward to Q2 with a vengeance.

Should you buy Waves (WAVES) now?

There is no doubt WAVES is on the run. Every indicator is bullish right now, so it’s the best time to buy for any short-term trader. Q2 also promises to be a very big period for this token. 

$60 is well in sight in the near term and as such, this gives investors a very good opportunity to make decent returns as they take advantage of this bullish sentiment.

Zilliqa (ZIL) has shot up massively in the last few days. The coin gained nearly 100% in one single day, and while most investors were expecting an immediate pullback, bulls just kept the coin going and going. It seems there are no sellers for ZIL, and it is likely this will remain the case for a while. Here are some pointers:

• The recent two-week rally by ZIL has been astonishing, to say the least.

• At one point, the coin was up 225% in just seven days before retreating slightly.

• We do not see any sell-off pressure, and ZIL could add another 100% in the near term.

Zilliqa (ZIL) – Bulls are fully in charge

In most cases, when coins rally to the extent that ZIL has, it’s natural to expect that there will be a pullback. But don’t bet on ZIL to do this in fact, bulls are in full control right now. We expect the gains to extend further to around $0.15 before there is any loss of momentum. 

ZIL is currently trading at around $0.09. Although it has lost about 5% for the last 24 hours as some holders cash in, we expect the bullish momentum to resume. The $0.11 mark will be the most difficult for bulls to break through. 

While we expect the current ZIL momentum to rise above that, if bulls are not able to break the resistance, ZIL will fall. But this will not be a huge pullback. In fact, it will be a modest pullback to $0.08 which will still put ZIL at an all-time high in 2022.

How to play the Zilliqa (ZIL) uptrend

Well, the best play here will be to buy. As for the short-term traders, close when the price hits $0.15. For long-term investors, the risk of a major sell-off after $0.15 will increase. It would be best to see if the coin hits that mark and then track the pullback before you buy.

The Huobi Token (HT) reported modest gains in 24-hour intraday trading on Tuesday. This came despite reports that the exchange was planning to launch a brand-new crypto ETF in Hong Kong. The coin remained largely unchanged for most of the day. Here is what to know:

The new Crypto ETF is expected to track some of the major crypto assets

It will largely target retail investors around the world

Huobi is now seeking approval from Hong Kong authorities to get this done.

Data Source: Tradingview 

Will the new ETF have any effect on Huobi Token (HT)?

Based on how investors have so far reacted to this news, it doesn’t seem like there will be a lot of price action as a result. But this is not a small thing by any means. For so many years, ETFs have provided an easy way for retail investors who have limited knowledge of the market to invest money with minimal risk. 

If something like that can be introduced in crypto, it could bring in more retail accounts to Huobi in the long run. Besides, it will also be a nice way for Huobi to bypass restrictive laws in Hong Kong that only allow crypto assets to be sold to professional investors. The potential of this opening up the huge Chinese market for crypto traders is massive.

Is Huobi (HT) worth it?

Huobi is one of the largest crypto exchanges in Asia. The platform has however had to deal with so many restrictions over there. But we are seeing more creative ways to bypass these laws. 

If indeed the ETF will be approved, it would open up more potential for the exchange. This would then mean more fees and more revenue. Based on these details, Huobi would be a good catch for longer-term value investors.
