The price action for IOTA (MIOTA) over the last week has been on a seesaw of sorts. After surging over the past few days, the coin has tumbled 20% from weekly highs as downside pressure mounts on the alternative blockchain. MIOTA is also down nearly 13% from its price 7 days ago. But how is the overall long-term outlook? We will break it down but first, some highlights:

• At the time of reporting, IOTA (MIOTA) was trading at $1.29, down nearly 5% in 24-hour intraday trading.

• Despite the price decline, the token has also reported massive daily trade volume, seeing a surge of 78%.

• MIOTA is still above its 20- and 50-day moving averages, suggesting an uptrend is feasible in the near term.

IOTA (MIOTA) – Price action and analysis

2021 was a huge year for IOTA (MIOTA). The token saw incredible growth, and there are reasons to suggest that 2022 won’t be any different. The price action however over the past few weeks suggests that we may start to see some short-term volatility. 

In fact, after tumbling 20% from this week’s highs, MIOTA has largely traded sideways. It has, however, managed to break past the $1.129 resistance. We are now watching to see if it can test the overhead resistance of $1.6. But if bear pressure continues, we could see the token retracing its support towards $0.95.

Why you should buy IOTA (MIOTA)

IOTA (MIOTA) has been making some decent moves recently. The platform, which acts as an alternative to traditional blockchains, introduced smart contract capabilities that will allow developers to create DApps using the IOTA ecosystem. 

This is huge, but we are checking to see just how developers will react to the news. If there is more developer adoption (which is likely), then IOTA is going to grow and as such, it is a great buy.

Bitcoin Cash (BCH) looks poised to maintain its overall bearish outlook. The coin is facing significant downward pressure as sentiment in broader crypto remains uncertain at best. Although BCH has largely been trading sideways over the last few weeks, we do not see enough upside for a bullish surge in the near term. Here are some important highlights:

• At the time of reporting, the coin was selling for $431, significantly down from its monthly highs of around $482.

• Analysts see the $500 mark as a big psychological barrier for investors, but a possible rally towards that in the near term looks unlikely.

• BCH is also trading below its key moving averages, suggesting a bearish alignment is in force at the moment.

Bitcoin Cash (BCH) – Price action and predictions

In November, BCH managed to hit $732, its highest price in two months at the time. But this was a short-term rally as the coin tumbled thereafter. BCH is currently priced at $431. We see the next support at $413. 

If bear pressure persists, the coin could easily retreat towards that price. Overhead resistance, on the other hand, is at the $489 mark. We also noted that BCH is trading below its crucial 25-, 50-, and 200-day exponential moving averages. 

With sentiment in the crypto market uninspiring right now, we don’t see this bearish outlook breaking in the near term. If anything, once BCH drops past the $413 support, then further decline below $400 is inevitable.

Should you buy Bitcoin Cash (BCH)

Bitcoin Cash (BTC) was built to provide secure and fast digital payment systems. It has seen wide adoption and will continue to rank as one of the most innovative crypto projects. However, right now, it’s not the best time to buy. I’d wait till the bearish outlook abates before buying in.

The crypto market has typically attracted a lot of new innovations. But there are also some tokens that are simply launched for that feel-good factor and not really based on any intrinsic value. Football tokens are in that category. They are basically designed to be part of the loyalty and passionate fanbase we know in football. Nonetheless, here are some facts about football tokens:

• Football fan tokens don’t typically have a lot of underlying value and are simply loyalty assets targeting fans.

• Some football clubs are also adding the sale of NFT collectibles in addition to the fan tokens as well.

• These tokens also benefit a lot from the visibility and the name recognition associated with these clubs.

Well, in case you are thinking of grabbing yourself some fan tokens, here are a few options to consider by market cap:

Paris Saint Germain Fan Token (PSG)

The Paris Saint-Germain Fan Token (PSG) is a fan token for the supporters of one of the biggest clubs in France. The coin is available for trading in all major exchanges around the world. 

Data Source: Tradingview.com 

At the time of writing, it was selling at around $15.23 with a market cap of $48 million. It is also the largest fan token by market cap right now but still falls way low in the overall crypto market, ranking 622.

S.S. Lazio Fan Token (LAZIO)

Lazio is one of two big clubs based in the Italian capital of Rome. Its fan token is surprisingly valuable, seeing that the club is not really one of the biggest in the world. Nonetheless, the S.S Lazio Fan Token (LAZIO) is currently trading at around $4.57, down 13% over the last 7 days. The coin has a market cap of around $40 million. 

You don’t have to be a fan of these clubs to buy these tokens. But since they don’t have a lot of intrinsic value, they can be highly risky.

Decentralised exchanges or DEXs have become quite popular in the crypto space partly because of the security and privacy that they offer. However, cross-chain DEXs in particular are quite incredible. After all, they allow investors to swap crypto assets across various blockchains without incurring high gas fees. Here is why these exchanges are important:

• DEXs offer permissionless and non-custodial transactions, something that makes them more secure and private.

• These exchanges are also highly scalable and could conceivably become as dominant as centralised exchanges in the future.

• The biggest challenge with DEXs is maintaining high liquidity by cross-chain platforms can solve this.

In case you believe in cross-chain DEXs and the future they have, there are two tokens you should check out and buy if you can. Here they are:

1Sol (1SOL)

1Sol (1SOL) is a DEX aggregator that works across chains to find and bring available liquidity in one single place. It is the native DEX aggregator for Solana and is designed to help reduce gas fees, slippage, and enhance speeds in transactions.

SolanaX (SOLD)

SolanaX (SOLD) is a cross-chain automated market maker protocol designed to facilitate fast crypto swaps in a fully permissionless and decentralised manner. The platform is built on Solana but also has cross-chain interoperability with Ethereum. This makes it a versatile DEX with enhanced liquidity, low trading fees, and faster transaction speeds. 

SolanaX also wants to create a comprehensive ecosystem of DeFi apps, including a fully decentralised auction protocol, the SolanaX prediction market, and others. At the time of writing, its native token SOLD was selling for $0.1061.

Staking offers crypto investors a chance to make decent passive income while taking considerably less risk compared to trading crypto directly. In essence, staking involves placing crypto assets in locked digital wallets for the purpose of validating transactions in Proof-of-Stake blockchains. It’s the inverse of crypto mining, and here is why you should look at it seriously.

• You don’t need to invest in expensive computer equipment to do staking. Just a few crypto assets are needed.

• Staking offers interest on all assets staked that can go as high as 20% per year in several blockchains.

• Also, once the assets are staked, you simply earn some passive income on the side.

Well, if you are thinking of adding crypto staking as part of your overall investment strategy, then there are some coins you must consider. Here they are:

BitDao (BIT)

BitDao (BIT) is one of the leading decentralised autonomous organisations (DAOs) in the world. The platform is designed to attract talented developers to create and deploy innovative DAOs across various chains. BIT is the native governance token on the platform that can also be staked for excellent returns.

In fact, staking BIT delivers an annual average return of around 14.77%. Besides, the token is a very promising coin backed by superb underlying fundamentals. At the time of writing. BIT was trading for $2.17 with a market cap of around $1.2 billion.

Terra (LUNA)

Terra (LUNA) is a stablecoins network designed to deliver what it calls a price-stable global payment system. Terra is one of the biggest blockchain projects right now. 

Its native governance token LUNA, which is also used for staking, has a market cap of $33 billion. This ranks it among the top 10 crypto assets by market cap. Also, staking LUNA will deliver average annual returns of around 12.5% for investors.
