When SushiSwap (SUSHI) first came out, it was seen as one of the best ever projects in DeFi. Investor interest was instant and as such, the coin surged, hitting an all-time high of around $23.3 in March last year. But ever since, it’s been a challenging period for SUSHI. Can it really recover? Here is what you need to know:

• From an ATH of $23.3, SUSHI is now trading at around $3.56.

• SushiSwap is facing increasing competition in the DeFi space, especially DEXs.

• It is highly unlikely the coin will ever regain the ATH anytime soon.

SushiSwap (SUSHI) -The bleak picture ahead

If there is anyone out there biting their fingers waiting for SUSHI to ever return to $23.3, they may have to wait for quite some time. You see, unlike many coins that have fallen due to broader market headwinds as opposed to changes in underlying fundamentals, SUSHI has suffered from both. 

First, the project behind SUSHI is having to deal with increasing competition from better, more efficient market entrants that are sucking quite a lot of users and TVL. SushiSwap has also had to deal with the congestion and high gas fees of Ethereum, which has limited scalability. 

As for the short-term price outlook, we saw the coin fall below the crucial $4.2 support. We expect SUSHI to bottom at $2.8 before it has any significant rally.

Is SushiSwap (SUSHI) worth the risk?

Well, it will depend on your expectations. Although the coin has fallen from ATHs and is never getting back there soon, there is still a little upside. At the current price of $3.5, SUSHI is heavily discounted. 

If sentiment improves in the market, we are likely to see a surge towards $7 by the end of the year. That would still be a 50% jump. Besides, the move to Ethereum 2.0 could help jump-start the project in the future.

Filecoin (FIL) has often been touted as one of the most promising projects in a web 3 revolution that many experts feel is around the corner. But the coin has really struggled this year. However, after a period of consolidation, a bullish breakout may be imminent. Here are some factors to note:

• Filecoin could conceivably grow 4X by the end of 2022 or even higher.

• The underlying value of the coin remains highly underrated.

• The push towards web 3 this year will drive much of FIL’s upward surge.

Filecoin (FIL) – How soon can it hit 4x?

After a shaky start to the year, it reached a point where there were fears we may see a prolonged crypto winter. Filecoin (FIL), just like many altcoins, was really hit hard, and it bottomed to a new 2022 low of $16.5 about a few weeks ago. But then the momentum reversed, and we saw some decent rise and a period of consolidation. 

There is a lot of improvement in sentiment, and this can only be a good thing for FIL. We are watching to see if the coin can flip $21 from an overhead resistance zone to a support zone in the short term. 

This could trigger a bull run that sends FIL up by at least 30%. From a longer-term point of view, analysts are looking at $80 easily. Remember FIL was trading at $120 in September last year. There is therefore precedent for rapid gains and losses.

Should you get Filecoin (FIL)

Filecoin remains a crucial cog in the data storage business. It is designed to become a decentralized data solution, and with the coming age of decentralized internet, this type of service will be invaluable. 

FIL is not alone in this of course. There are some competitors. But so far, the project has really done very well. It’s worth looking at.

The crypto market, in general, has steadied after a very volatile period during the start of 2022. Analysts are now focusing on long-term outlooks, and one coin that has grabbed the attention of everyone is Kava (KAVA). Could it actually hit $40 by year-end? Here is what you need to know:

• Short term volatility has put a lot of pressure on KAVA

• Hitting $40 will mean that the coin needs to grow 10X from its current price

• While this looks farfetched, it is not entirely impossible

Kava (KAVA) – The road to $40?

At the moment, KAVA is trading at around $3.89. Based on the performance of the crypto market over the last three months, it’s hard to imagine that KAVA could grow 10x before the year is out. But it’s actually not that hard to imagine. 

There are several reasons for this. First, Kava is adding EVM support. The move will make it interoperable with ERC 20 tokens. This is likely going to push more DeFi projects into the network. Also, EVM support means that apps already built for Ethereum can be deployed on Kava. 

In addition to this, it seems like the sentiment in the market is actually looking better than it did three months ago. Investors have started to price in the economic and geopolitical factors at play. As the broader market surges, KAVA could still follow. Despite this, we still think there are so many downside risks that will make the $40 dream very hard to achieve.

Is Kava (KAVA) worth the risk?

Kava is a great project and has been for the last few months. It has simply suffered from the general trend in the market. But its long-term value still remains very high. The fact that it’s adding more interoperability into its system is a big deal. Even if it doesn’t hit $40, it could still offer 3x or 4x growth.

Polygon (MATIC) had been trending upwards for the best part of the week. The coin is, in fact, in the green over the last 7 days, and there were some analysts looking at a possible breakout. But MATIC was rejected at a crucial zone and this could spell doom for bulls. Here are the facts.

• After surging for the week, MATIC was rejected at $1.75.

• The coin has since fallen to $1.59 ever since.,

• It is likely MATIC will retest that zone again this week.

Polygon (MATIC) – Understanding the uptrend

The recent uptrend in MATIC has been quite impressive. The entire market also seems to be on the up, with Ethereum and Bitcoin also seeing major gains. But it is clear that the momentum for MATIC has slowed. For most analysts, the goal for the coin was to surge past $1.75.

This would have signaled a strong bull run that could be sustained for longer. But MATIC was decisively rejected at $1.75 and has since retreated significantly to hit $1.56. The $1.75 is actually the 200-day EMA, while the $1.56 is slightly lower than the 50-day EMA. 

It is conceivable that MATIC will bounce off between these two zones. We expect the coin to test $1.75 again this week. Whether this time round it will be successful remains to be seen. But a push above the 200 EMA will be the signal that bulls have taken over.

Is Polygon (MATIC) the future?

Polygon (MATIC) came out as an Ethereum scaling solution. It has since tried to fully diversify from its core business and is now creating new verticals in GameFI and NFTs. 

It is not the biggest crypto asset of course. But it will remain among the top ten for a long time to come. This makes it a very decent investment for the longer term.

Stellar (XLM) has been pushing more into DeFi in recent weeks, and this could have a positive impact on its price outlook. The coin has also been surging in recent weeks. How will the focus on DeFi affect XLM? More to follow below, but here are some facts for you:

• XLM has been up to over 15% over the last 7 days.

• The chain has been making major moves into DeFi in recent times.

• The 7-day rally will continue as sentiment in the market improves.

Stellar (XLM) – The long-term outlook?

DeFi has been one of the key drivers of growth in crypto for the best part of a year now. DeFi projects are expected to continue to explode. Stellar has been trying to bring in more DeFi to its ecosystem. In fact, the project just announced recently that it will be launching a new product that will aggregate DeFi protocols and connect them to investors. 

That news alone saw XLM surge by over 15%. As the push towards DeFi continues, we are likely to see gains in this token in the medium and longer term. Besides, we have also seen some steady improvement in investor sentiment over the last few weeks.

It is safe to say that the torrid start to 2022 that we saw is now starting to ease. As such, it is likely that we will see more growth for XLM and other coins.

Why is Stellar (XLM) a good project?

Even before its recent push to DeFi, Stellar still remained one of the most promising projects in crypto. This is a blockchain project that aims to spur the growth of innovative decentralized apps. 

Stellar has been working on improving cross-chain interoperability and is always finding new ways to add more value to its ecosystem. For an investor looking for a legitimate opportunity, XLM is up there with the best.
