With smart money digging in, Bitcoin and Ethereum come across as worthy buys in the crypto dip.

Key points:

• Smart money is buying crypto and could be a leading indicator that the market could rebound.

• Following the lead of institutional money, Bitcoin and Ethereum could be worthy buys today.

MicroStrategy is buying the current Bitcoin drop, an indicator that they have positive expectations of the market long-term. This indicates that those with in-depth knowledge of crypto, and the financial markets in general, expect the cryptocurrency market to do well in the future. 

With this confidence boost, what are some of the best cryptocurrencies to buy the dip in anticipation of the next bull run?

Bitcoin (BTC)

In the financial markets, one of the best ways to make money is to follow the moves of the big money players. As such, now that companies that hold billions of dollars worth of BTC are buying, it makes sense to follow their moves. 

Bitcoin BTC/USD is currently trading at $19k, which means it is now 71% off its most recent all-time highs. If Bitcoin’s history is anything to go by, then the odds are that it could be close to the bottom. 

In essence, getting in now and holding long-term could be a high-reward play if Bitcoin retests its all-time highs. Most analysts speculate that Bitcoin could test $100k in the next bull run.

Over and above the speculation, there are concrete reasons to believe that Bitcoin could push through $100k. For instance, Bitcoin adoption as an investment and for payments is rising. 

On top of that, Bitcoin has a capped supply of only 21 million. A considerable amount of Bitcoins is already lost for good, and the Bitcoin halving has ensured that the number of coins entering circulation is slowed down over time.

This low supply and growing adoption make Bitcoin one of the best cryptocurrencies to buy in the dip and hold long-term. 

Ethereum (ETH)

Like Bitcoin, Ethereum ETH/USD is trading at record lows from its most recent highs. From highs of $4800 back in November 2021, Ethereum is barely holding above $1000. Despite this price drop, Ethereum fundamentals are getting better. For instance, Ethereum is currently in the process of a shift to Proof-of-Stake. This will allow most transactions to be completed on layer-2 networks and take the load off the main chain.

The impact will be lower gas fees, faster transaction speeds, and better adoption odds for Ethereum. On top of that, the Ethereum network is now deflationary and will have an accelerated token burn once it starts running as Ethereum 2.0. This will mean demand chasing a declining number of tokens over the years.

It is not hard to see why Ethereum has growth potential and is one of the best cryptocurrencies to buy in the current cryptocurrency dip.

• Polkadot is regarded as the blockchain of blockchains.

• Native token DOT has been bearish slightly above the $6.5 support.

• If DOT breaks below $6.5, the price could fall further to $4.

Polkadot’s native token DOT/USD is trading at 6.73. The price is close to or at a support of $6.5, the lowest since January 2021. Although the price recovered to a high of $8.45 in recent weeks, it has since lacked a bullish impetus. Investors should watch $6.5 as it could be a turning point for DOT or start a further decline.

Polkadot is described as a “blockchain of blockchains.” It connects blockchains that would otherwise be incompatible with each other. It unlocks value by allowing data transfers across blockchains. In line with the goal, Polkadot launched a cross-chain messaging system in May. The system allows native transfers of tokens across parachains. Polkadot’s native token DOT allows staking and governance on the protocol. It is also available for trading in other exchanges.

Just like other cryptocurrencies, DOT has been highly volatile. It once traded at a high of $56 in November last year, at the height of the crypto boom. The recent crypto weakness means that DOT is yet to stage a lasting comeback.

The MACD line closed below the moving average, signaling a bearish move for DOT. A RSI shows oversold conditions, but the price is yet to hit the support. More weakness in the price is expected as bearish sentiment prevails. A bullish reversal could occur at $6.5. Failure to reverse at the support would open DOT to further decline to a support around $4.

Summary

DOT/USD is bearish approaching a key support of $6.5. If the price fails to rebound at the support, the crypto token could proceed to $4. Investors should watch $6.5 for price action. Still, there is no indication the price will go higher at the support. Buyers should be prepared for further downside.

The Unilend Finance price has gone parabolic as demand for the decentralized finance (DeFi) token rise. The UFT token rose to a high of $0.3560, which was the highest level since May 17th this year. At its peak, the coin was up by 190% from its lowest level this year. It has a market cap of $11 million, making it a relatively small coin.

What is Unilend Finance?

Unilend Finance is a relatively small DeFi platform that aims to become a leading player in the industry. Its main feature is that it allows people to trade more cryptocurrencies in its ecosystem. 

It is a permissionless decentralized protocol that combines spot trading services and money markets with lending and borrowing through smart contracts. It is available in Ethereum, Polygon, Moonriver, and BNB Chain.

In its platform, interest rates and collateralization ratio are not determined by insiders. Instead, they are determined by supply, demand, and community governance.

Unilend Finance has several features. For example, it allows permissionless listing, meaning that people can list any ERC-20 token. Further, it allows lending and borrowing to co-exist with trading and investing. It also has liquidity features that make trading relatively easy.

UFT is the native token for Unilend Finance platform. It is the primary governance token that allows participants to take part in its governance. Further, it provides holders with an incentive to encourage participants to contribute and maintain the ecosystem.

The UFT price is rising as investors cheer its recent addition to Coinbase. In a statement, the company said that users will be able to trade the coin against other acceptable coins in the wallet. Historically, cryptocurrencies tend to rally after they are accepted in leading platforms like Coinbase and Binance.

UFT price prediction

The UFT price surged to the highest level since May as investors cheered the Coinbase launch. It has now pulled back slightly but it remains at the highest point in more than a month. The coin has jumped above all moving averages while the Relative Strength Index (RSI) and the MACD have moved above the overbought levels.

Therefore, I believe that this jump will not last for a while. As such, there is a likelihood that it will have a pullback and retest the key support at $0.25. A move above the resistance at $0.33 will invalidate the bearish view.

The NMR coin price surged on Thursday even as other cryptocurrencies recoiled. Numerai rose to a high of $40, which was the highest point since December last year. It has risen by more than 267% from its lowest level this year. This rebound brings its total market cap to more than $163 million.

What is Numerai and why is it rising?

Numerai is a project that is in the data science space. The platform allows developers to build machine learning models that help to predict the performance of the stock market. These models can then be staked with the NMR cryptocurrency to earn rewards based on performance. 

Developers in the competition receive a free dataset that is made up of high-quality data that has been cleaned and regularized. Winners also earn rewards. By March this year, the developers had paid out over $40 million to its members. 

Numerai, is therefore not a blockchain project like Solana and Ethereum. It is a tournament that is bridging the gap between the stock and crypto market. To participate, members of the tournament are required to buy NMR and stake it. In all, the developers hope to create the next successful hedge fund like Ken Griffin’s Citadel Securities. 

The NMR price is rising after the developers announced that they were making progress on 1 million stoked NMR tokens. At the current price, these tokens are valued at over $30 million. It is also rising because of the ongoing pump and dump that is happening in small-cap cryptocurrencies.

NMR price prediction

The Numerai price has been in a strong bullish trend in the past few days as the number of staked token jumps. It soared to a high of $40, which was the highest point since December. As a result, the token managed to move above the important resistance level at $18.95, which was the lowest level in January this year.

The NMR token has jumped above the 25-day and 50-day moving averages while the Relative Strength Index (RSI) has soared to the overbought level. Therefore, there is a likelihood that the coin will likely drop to the key support at $18.95.

The cryptocurrency market continues its poor performance this week, with the major coins recording huge losses.

The cryptocurrency market has lost more than $50 billion over the past 24 hours. The total crypto market cap stood above $900 billion yesterday, but it has now dropped towards the $850 billion mark.

Bitcoin, the world’s leading coin, has lost more than 5% of its value in the last 24 hours and now trades below $19k per coin. BTC could drop towards $17k in the near term if the current market momentum persists.

Ether looks set to drop below $1,000 as it has lost roughly 10% of its value so far today. 

SHIB, the native token of the Shiba Inu ecosystem, is also underperforming at the moment. SHIB is down by more than 2% in the last 24 hours, which is lower than what the other major currencies recorded.

The poor performance comes after Shiba Inu performed positively earlier this week. Earlier this week, the Shiba Inu community voted on a proposal that seeks to reward network validators in BONE for their work. BONE is one of the tokens used within the Shiba Inu ecosystem. 

The proposal received 97% support from the community, leading SHIB to perform well. However, SHIB has shed these gains and is now underperforming.

Key levels to watch

The SHIB/USD 4-hour chart has turned bearish as Shiba Inu has erased its earlier gains. 

The MACD line dropped into the negative zone a few hours ago, indicating bearish momentum. The 14-day relative strength index of 38 shows that SHIB could soon enter the oversold region.

At press time, SHIB is trading at $0.00000982. If the bearish trend continues, SHIB could drop below the $0.00000886 support level. In the event of extended bearish performance, Shiba Inu would be forced to defend the support level around $0.00000778.
