Floki Inu (FLOKI) sees a steady resurgence – Is a trend reversal coming?

Floki Inu (FLOKI) has seen quite some resurgence over the last two weeks or so. The coin is looking strong right now after smashing past several resistance zones. There are hopes that this could be a decisive trend reversal after weeks of decline. But how far can Floki actually go? Here are some highlights:

  • FLOKI had seen gains in 3 straight sessions before retreating yesterday

  • The coin has now added 65% in value in less than 10 days

  • This uptrend looks strong and is set to continue in the coming days

Floki Inu – Why a trend reversal is unlikely

Although all signs appear to point to the fact that Floki is reversing the trend, it’s important to note there are many risk factors that could easily suppress the price. Besides, FLOKI has fallen nearly 90% from its ATH and is on a bearish trend year on year. 

While a 65% gain in 10 days is quite impressive, it is likely a result of the short-term dip-buying activity. Soon enough, Floki Inu buyers will start to lock in profits and as such, we expect the coin to retreat further. Also, from a long-term point of view, the coin continues to face increased regulatory challenges in the UK after its ads were deemed unethical. 

Floki could still deliver some 2x growth in 2022. But for now, the uptrend we are seeing will slow, and the coin will decline sharply.

Why is Floki risky right now?

Most meme coins have seen major sell-offs this year. In a market filled with uncertainty, a lot of investors will obviously offload risk assets, and meme coins are in that category. 

So, unless we see conditions improve in the broader crypto industry, holding FLOKI for long could be a big blunder. But there are of course many short-term plays for speculative traders.

Chainlink (LINK) struggles to rally despite important ecosystem updates

Chain Link Image on a cell phone

Chainlink (LINK) has often marketed itself as the platform that will ultimately democratize the blockchain. The coin has had better days no doubt. But in 2022, the price has remained suppressed for the most part. This comes even as LINK continues to report impressive ecosystem updates. Here are some notable developments:

  • Chainlink adoption continues to surge in 2022, with more integrations expected this year.

  • Cross-chain activity has also increased for LINK in recent weeks.

  • Despite this, LINK’s price has failed to rally more than 10% month on month in 2022.

Why are ecosystem updates not pushing LINK?

In a normal market, you would expect such important ecosystem news to have a huge impact on the price. In fact, announcing more integrations would have at least given LINK a boost of 20% in a single month. But this is not a normal market. 

In 2022, we have seen very high volatility and slowed investor sentiment. As such, even though underlying fundamentals for LINK remain solidly good, the risk-off sentiment means that investors are just biding their time before they decide to buy. Also, there are other concerns regarding LINK.

For example, the project is facing massive competition from other newer entrants. Chains like Solana and Polkadot are raising the bar when it comes to scalability and access. As such, it seems investors are starting to spread out their money as they try to cash in on every new project. This puts LINK at a disadvantage.

Can LINK still deliver good returns?

It’s worth noting that LINK hit an all-time high of $57 a few months ago. The coin is now trading at a mere fraction of that.

Although we do not anticipate LINK hitting its ATH this year or even getting close, there is still some potential for a decisive profit for those who buy now. In fact, it is possible that you could 3x your money by year’s end.

Ethereum (ETH) could target $2400 despite falling below $2000 again

Ethereum (ETH) has fallen below $2000 once again. The coin had managed to post some gains after bottoming at $1700 a few weeks ago. However, that upward momentum has slowed, and we may see some decline. But this is not necessarily something to worry about. Here are some key points:

  • The recent decline below $2000 doesn’t appear to be strong

  • ETH will likely rebound almost instantly in a few days

  • The coin will regain $2000 and trigger a buying frenzy that pushes ETH to $2400

Ethereum price analysis and prediction

After falling to $1700 just two weeks ago, ETH has managed to hold out. There were worries that the coin would touch $1000 in what could have been its worst downtrend this year. However, ETH quickly recaptured $2000 but has since lost it again. In fact, over the last 7 days, the coin has struggled to maintain the price above the $2k mark. 

However, we expect this time round things to be different. Although ETH is slightly below $2k, the coin will likely regain this important threshold in the days ahead. This will send a crucial bullish signal that will likely trigger demand for ETH. The coin will shoot up to $2400 before it slows. 

But there are some important risks. For example, if the current fall below $2000 turns out to be more serious than expected, this thesis becomes invalidated. If anything, failure to hold the $1800 support could push ETH toward $1500 in the short term.

How to profit from ETH in the short term?

The long-term value of Ethereum has never been in doubt. But short-term volatility will be here for the rest of the year. 

The best way to profit right now is to buy once the price consolidates above $2000. But if you are not sure about the possible risks, you can watch the coin and see if it breaks $1800. Once this happens, $1500 will be a great entry point.

A bear market is a marathon- prepare yourself: analyst

It’s never financial advice and doing your own research before investing is the way to go. But then again, what does DYOR mean? 

Well, it might mean learning to navigate the market with the help of lessons others have learned along the way.

One such lesson could be how to survive a bear market. In crypto, there is a pseudo-written rule for this – no matter what HODL.

According to crypto analyst Ran NeuNer, that is the trick. However, it takes patience. In comments shared on Tuesday, the analyst says rushing a bear market might only yield one result – you get wiped out. Here’s where he opines:

Remember that “a bull market is a sprint [while] “a bear market,” with all the pain, “is a marathon.”

That’s not all. In a bear market, it’s pointless to keep checking prices and Crypto Twitter might not be your friend.

As Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao observes, projects need to use the bear market to build. For an investor, this is the time to check out projects, focusing on their fundamentals, NeuNer notes. 

Seasoned investors will also tell you that a bear market provides for a buy-the-dip opportunity. However, it pays to be careful as this is also the time the market gets literally flooded with meaningless tokens targeting new investors.

Axie Infinity (AXS) set for a 50% upswing in this bullish thesis

Axie Infinity (AXS) is now starting to report some bullish consolidation. The coin had declined steadily since May 12, and there were worries it could retreat below $10. However, we are seeing signs of improvement, in fact, AXS could break out over the coming days. Here are some key facts:

  • AXS is consolidating above the crucial $20 and has done so in the last 24 hours.

  • This will likely trigger a bull run that takes the coin toward $27.

  • AXS must however maintain the $17.98 support for this thesis to hold

Data Source: TradingView 

Axie Infinity – How it can swing 50% up

The bullish consolidation we are seeing with AXS comes after a period of decline. As a result, it could suggest that the coin is about to break out of its long-term downward trajectory. The key to watch though will be the $17.98 support. If the price action stays above this and manages to gloss over $20 at the end of trading today, then AXS will break.

In the end, the coin will likely settle at around $27 before its retreats. This will deliver gains of nearly 50% for AXS bulls. There is also another setup worth noting. A run towards $28 may not happen all at once. In fact, it is possible that AXS will try to test the $23.19 resistance first. 

The coin may be rejected at this price, after which it may fall back below $20. This is just a temporary setback. We expect AXS to surge past $23.19 even if it fails on the first attempt.

How will AXS perform in the future?

AXS has suffered a lot this year. The coin is ten times cheaper from its $200 highs just a few months ago. 

We expect this weakness to start abating during the second half of the year. Eventually, AXS could still hit $100 before 2022 is out.
