Cardano’s ADA sets $0.655 the next in sight as breakout looks sustainable

  • The journey to the Vasil upgrade remains on course after the launch of the 1.35.3 node version.

  • The Vasil upgrade is expected to improve the scalability of Cardano.

  • Cardano token broke above key resistance at $0.52 as investors waited for the upgrade.

Cardano ADA/USD is a cryptocurrency to watch this week. It could be a matter of when and not if ADA will reach $0.655. The token was trading at $0.56 as of press time. The price was still a drop of about 2% in the last 24 hours.

ADA gains have largely been due to the anticipated Vasil upgrade. The development team issued an update on Friday indicating that the Vasil upgrade was well on course. According to the development team, a new node version 1.35.3 has been released. The team said that as long as no significant issues are experienced, the node version will trigger the upgrade.

Since the announcement, ADA has gone to clear the $0.52 resistance successfully. That comes as investors speculate that the Vasil upgrade could come as soon as this month. The upgrade will improve the scalability and performance of the Cardano blockchain.

From the daily chart, Cardano is now past key resistance at $0.52. All indicators sound bullish for the cryptocurrency. The 21-day moving average moved above the 50-day moving average, a bullish indicator. Both moving averages provide support for the Layer-1 blockchain token. The MACD indicators are also bullish on Cardano.

Concluding thoughts

Cardano remains on course to hit $0.655, the next resistance level. The prediction is based on the recent breakout above $0.52 and the bullish indicators. Investors should buy now or after a slight retracement towards the support or moving averages.

Infinity Skies rallies 200% on Monday: here’s why

The broader cryptocurrency market has underperformed over the last 24 hours, but Infinity Skies has rallied by more than 200% during that period.

ISKY, the native coin of the Infinity Skies ecosystem, is up by 200% in the last 24 hours. Thus, making it one of the best-performing cryptocurrencies in the entire crypto market. By contrast, Bitcoin is down by 1.5% today and is trading above $24k per coin. Ether, the second-largest cryptocurrency by market cap, is also down by nearly 4% today and is now trading just above $1,900.

ISKY’s ongoing rally can be attributed to several factors. Community engagement has increased over the past 24 hours, thanks to the ongoing competition. The Infinity Skies team has $5,000 up for grabs for the best castle builders within its community.

The Infinity Skies builders have created some interesting castles, and this has improved the general community engagements. 

Another reason behind the ongoing rally is the imminent launch of Infinity Skies’ staking pool. The staking pool would make it easier for users to stake their tokens and earn rewards for doing so.

The Infinity Skies team is also participating in the ongoing Battle of the DApps hosted by BSCNews. In Battle of the Dapps, 9 projects on BNB Chain compete in a community-decided event to be crowned King of the Dapps.

Infinity Skies is competing against eight other decentralised applications, including Floki, GMR, EverRise, Hypermine, DG Pals, Ten Finance, Mogul Productions, and XWG Games.

Finally, another reason why Infinity Skies is rallying today is the upcoming land sale within the ecosystem. The land sale event will allow people to own a piece of the Infinity Skies ecosystem, allowing them to build amazing structures and castles.

Reviewing the bull case for Monero as it completes the network upgrade

  • Monero completed its hard fork on Saturday for more network privacy and security

  • The native token has not reacted to the hard fork and was down on Monday

  • Monero remains on an uptrend to new heights

Monero XMR/USD successfully completed its network hard fork on Saturday. The privacy-focused blockchain said the network is now more private and efficient. The upgrade comes with Bulletproofs+ algorithms for faster transaction speeds. Introduced view tags on the network will also cut wallet sync times by up to 40%. 

The successfully deployed hard fork comes with the benefits of more security and privacy. The benefits are especially to boost its native token. Monero has been surging in anticipation of the upgrade and improved crypto sentiment. The token currently trades at $166, up from a low of below $100 in mid-June.

Despite the latest upgrade, the Monero token is yet to post robust gains. As of the time of writing, the token was down by 2.18%, with the trading volume up just 10%. The slowdown is occurring across the crypto sector. The indecision underlines that Monero had already priced in the positive news. The upgrade was already a long-awaited event. But how bullish is Monero?

Monero remains on a solid uptrend despite the boosts from the hard fork. The token is supported by the 21-day and 50-day moving averages, with the latter joining recently. The MACD indicator shows waning momentum, a suggestion of a potential retracement.

Concluding thoughts

Although Monero’s momentum is weakening, it is on a clear uptrend. The cryptocurrency is yet to reach the established resistance at $204. Any correction is an opportunity to buy. The latest upgrade could still be the boost needed to take the Monero token to the next level.

Should you buy LTC as it consolidates at key resistance?

  • Litecoin is currently trading at $60.94, a 1.76% dip in the past day

  • The pair is in a consolidation amid bullish indicators

  • Investors should wait for it to clear above the level

Cryptocurrencies are currently on a retracement following an industry-wide recovery. Bitcoin and Ethereum are down 3.8% and 1.92% in the past day. Litecoin’s LTC/USD dipped 1.76% in the same period.

Created in 2011, Litecoin is one of the earliest blockchains. It was forked from bitcoin as an improvement of the proof-of-work network. The platform is more scalable with a faster block time and a larger token supply. It also uses the Scrypt hashing algorithm to reduce energy consumption.

Despite being a hard fork of Bitcoin, LTC has failed to stage a recovery similar to that of the latter. LTC has gained a paltry 4% in the past month compared to 25% in BTC. This takes into consideration the wide market cap difference between the two. While bitcoin has a valuation of $454 billion, LTC is at a fraction of that with $4.3 billion.

Currently, LTC/USD is changing hands for $60.94. Its trading volume is down 17.39% at $437,281,262. Aside from the dynamics in price and volumes, LTC has important technical levels to watch.

According to the daily chart above, LTC is consolidating around $61 resistance. The token’s attempts to break above the level have been resisted three times since June 25. Nonetheless, the chart shows that the technical indicators favor the bulls, and the token could break above. 

The RSI is currently at 55. Although the momentum indicator can be interpreted as neutral, more traders are buying the token than selling it. The MACD is above the signal lines with the histograms on the green. However, investors should exercise patience until the token clears above the resistance.

Bottom line

Litecoin has strong fundamentals around efficiency and faster transaction speeds. Its native LTC token is consolidating at an important resistance level amid strong bullish momentum. Patience is recommended until the tokens clear the level.

Hedera Hashgraph prediction as price reclaims the $0.074 level

Hedera HBAR Coin Logo

  • Hedera Hashgraph is a smart contract platform that uses an algorithm for fast transactions

  • HBAR has reclaimed the $0.074 level after 10% gains in the week

  • HBAR could consolidate, but $0.074 remains the reference support

Hedera Hashgraph HBAR/USD has surged by more than 10% in the past 7 days. The gains have propelled the token to higher levels, reclaiming a major resistance. If trading HBAR, it is important to watch key levels where the price may face indecision.

Hedera Hashgraph is a blockchain that promises to deliver secure and fast transactions. The blockchain aims to achieve the objective through a distributed consensus algorithm. Hedera also seeks to enable anyone to deploy applications on the platform for true decentralization.

Hedera Hashgraph may not be the strongest cryptocurrency this year. Since bottoming at $0.06 in mid-July, it has been making very slow gains. That is despite most other cryptocurrencies staging strong recoveries. Nonetheless, recent recoveries may be a tip of what is about to come for the token.

From the daily chart outlook, the 21-day and 50-day moving averages have joined a support for HBAR. The 21-day MA has closed above the 50-day MA as bullish momentum builds. The MACD indicator also points to building momentum. The price is well supported above $0.074, suggesting that HBAR has set new reference support. The token is moving along an uptrend.

Concluding thoughts

If considering buying HBAR, the $0.074 should be the reference level. Nonetheless, with the weak momentum, the token could continue to consolidate. Consequently, HBAR is not the best token for short-term buyers. Dip and long-term buying are recommended.

If HBAR keeps $0.074 intact, the next levels to watch are $0.10 and $0.15. The cryptocurrency could also face some resistance at $0.09.
