Key Points: 

• Ethereum and Binance coin are among the safest altcoins in the market.

• Both have the fundamentals to see them rally in 2022.

• Ethereum has an edge this year due to the completion of the shift to Eth2.0. 

Ethereum (ETH)

Ethereum is the first blockchain network that allows anyone in any country to transact with cryptocurrency without intermediaries. It also supports smart contracts, allowing developers and entrepreneurs access digital money – all while keeping it decentralized so no single entity can take down this open-source project! It is a programmable blockchain that can also be used for Bitcoin transactions. This makes it an amazing tool in the digital world because you’re able to do anything, including buying goods from different apps or websites and supporting different applications such as games and finance.

Binance coin (BNB)

The Binance Coin (BNB) is the cryptocurrency that pays fees on the Binance exchange.  The coin has many applications, including being an investment opportunity for several platforms such as stocks or ETFs in addition to other assets like loans collateralized by this crypto: The token also powers certain apps where users split bills paying through what would otherwise turn out to be expensive transactions. BNB also supports loans and transfers and entertainment through for instance purchasing tickets online.

Which one is a better buy?

Both Ethereum and Binance coin are awesome investments. They have growth potential and are among the safest altcoins in the market.

However, this year Ethereum has a lot of news going for it this year that it could pale Binance coin in gains. One of the key factors likely to drive its growth is the completion of the Ethereum 2.0 transition later in the year.

Ethereum 2.0 will make Ethereum scale better, and its gas prices will be much lower than ever before. Ethereum’s deflationary features will drive up demand for ETH as demand grows. 

All these and the rising bullish momentum in the broader market could see Ethereum rocket to prices rocket to new highs this year.

IOTA (MIOTA) has been trading below the psychologically crucial $1 mark over the last few days. However, looking at other technical indicators, the coin still has a bullish outlook. Once it breaks above $1, expect more gains to follow. Analysis to follow below but here are some highlights:

• Despite falling under $1, MIOTA is still trading above its 20- and 50-day simple moving averages

• At press time, the coin was trading for $0.95, down about 3% compared to the last 24 hours.

• For any bullish rally to occur, MIOTA must test both the 100- and 200-day SMAs in the coming days.

IOTA (MIOTA) – Price analysis and prediction

For the last few days, IOTA has moved largely sideways. Although it has rallied with other crypto assets in the last week, we have seen the price action slow a bit with minimal volatility. 

But most investors are watching to see if the coin can cross over the psychologically crucial mark of $1. If this happens, it is likely that MIOTA will test the overhead resistance of $1.7. Even if it doesn’t cross that threshold, by simply getting near, investors could pocket gains of nearly 40% in the short term. 

Also, the RSI appears to support this bullish thesis. But if indeed MIOTA fails to cross $1, it will fall to the next support of $0.7 before it finds sufficient demand to surge again.

Is IOTA (MIOTA) a good coin to buy?

IOTA is a decentralised ledger that is not actually a blockchain. It is designed to offer the benefits of traditional blockchains without the added high fees and slow speeds. IOTA remains an underrated project, and as concerns for network efficiency rise in the future, its proprietary technology will be hot.

 At $2.2 billion in market cap, there is a very real chance that MIOTA could surge even further in the future. It is a great buy for long-term crypto investors looking to unlock value.

Loopring (LRC) had emerged as one of the top-performing coins in 2021. In fact, the altcoin went on to hit its all-time high of $3.86 in November last year. But after that, it’s been free fall for LRC. However, the coin appears to be nearing a decisive bullish breakout in the coming days. Here are some highlights:

• After hitting all-time highs of $3.86 in late 2021, Loopring (LRC) has fallen over 75% from those levels.

• At the time of writing, the token was trading at $1.06, up about 5% over the last 24 hours.

• Loopring (LRC) is however consolidating and a decisive bullish breakout could see gains of nearly 50% from its current price.

Loopring (LRC) – Can it return to $3

A run towards $3 for Loopring (LRC) is possible. However, it will not happen soon. But LRC can surge by 50% in the coming days. The key for the token would be to break the $1.2 overhead resistance. 

LRC has tested that threshold over the last few days and has been rejected on all occasions. But we are starting to see some decent upward momentum. 

It is likely that the coin will break $1.2 and after that rally towards $1.8 in the near term. This will bring gains of nearly 50% for investors. Besides, RSI indicators also show the momentum in the bull’s favour.

Why you must buy Loopring (LRC)

Loopring (LRC) is an Ethereum scaling solution designed to provide the infrastructure needed to build decentralised exchanges. It is one of the most promising crypto projects in the market today. 

With a market cap of around $1.4 billion, there is still so much to come from LRC. It is therefore a decent long-term investment especially now that it has fallen significantly from its ATH.

Volt Inu (VOLT) has announced it will be listing its token on the crypto exchange Hotbit. It’s a major move for the meme coin, but this did not translate into gains in the price action. Here are some highlights:

• As news of the listing started to come out, Volt Inu (VOLT) was down nearly 35% in less than 24 hours.

• At press time, the coin had paired some of these losses but was still down by a whopping 15%.

• Volt Inu (VOLT) is also planning to list on major CEXs including Bitmart and Singapore-based XT.

Volt Inu (VOLT) – Price action and analysis

In most cases, when coins list on major exchanges, they often skyrocket. But it seems Volt Inu is not following the script. As soon as the news broke, the token was already lower by 35%. 

There has been some recovery however as the day progressed. At the time of writing, the coin was down around 16%. VOLT also saw a surge in trading volume in the last 24 hours, rising by around 30%. 

We are also hearing that there are plans to list the meme coin on other major CEXs including Bitmart and Singapore based exchange Xt.

Is Volt Inu (VOLT) prime for investment now?

When meme coins list in some of the leading exchanges, they often tend to rise sharply. This is the case for VOLT. Although it’s the latest listing on Hotbit did not have major effects on the price action, when the token gets on platforms like Bitmart, we will see some advances no doubt. 

However, as with all meme coins, there is always a lot of downside risk with such tokens. It’s not the kind of crypto you want to be holding when the market is down. So, for short-term plays, VOLT is a decent crypto.
