Here is why API3 token is rallying as the majority of cryptocurrencies fall

The API3 price has surged by more than 42% as the majority of cryptocurrencies including Bitcoin and Ethereum nosedive. At the time of writing, the API3 token was trading at $6.87.

API3 rally comes amid the larger crypto market bloodbath that has seen the likes of Bitcoin, the largest cryptocurrency by market cap, drop to $35K and Ethereum, the second-largest cryptocurrency drop to $25K.

API3 is currently only about $2 shy of its all-time high of $10.31 that it hit in April 2021. And going by the current trend where it has gained more than $2 in less than 24 hours, it could be headed for a new all-time high before the current hype ends.

But why is API3 price rally, especially at such a time when a majority of coins are dropping? Here is a comprehensive reason for the price rally.

What is API3?

API3 is the native token of the API3 blockchain network.

The API3 blockchain network is dedicated to allowing decentralized versions of APIs to be built, managed, and monetized.

The team behind the API3 project believes smart contracts can be used to provide “timely, reliable real-world data” as is the case with the traditional APIs.

Why API3 price is rallying

The current API3 rally is highly attributed to the recent announcement by Binance that it shall list it and the subsequent listing on the crypto exchange earlier today.

In an announcement posted on the Binance website on January 2021 at around 9:38 AM, the crypto exchange had promised to list API3 token on January 22, which is today.

Binance had also tweeted about the same on its Twitter handle setting the API3 community aflame.

As a matter of fact, the API3 price had started rallying on January 20, in anticipation of the listing and once it was made public by Binance, the price shot to the moon.

Today, the price continued with the Bull Run propelled by Binance actualizing what it had announced yesterday.

Prior to the listing news, API3 was in a pullback that had started in mid-November 2021, and attempts to correct it in December had failed.

Investors are now expecting API3 to continue with the rally to above $10, especially since it has shown resilience by surging up at a time when the general market is down.

Polygon’s (MATIC) bloodbath continues as altcoin declines past crucial support- Price prediction and analysis

Polygon (MATIC) has been seeing a massive sell-off over the last few days. Although the general trend for the altcoin is still positive, MATIC has declined sharply and is past a very crucial support zone that could make losses even worse. But is there any hope of a possible rebound? Here are some highlights:

  • At the time of writing, MATIC was trading at around $1.83, nearly 15% down in intraday trading.

  • The altcoin had in fact tumbled below $1.7, a crucial support level, albeit it managed to regain those losses.

  • MATIC has also slid past its 200-day moving average, suggesting a rout is coming.

Polygon (MATIC) – Price action and analysis

Polygon (MATIC) was by far one of the top-performing altcoins in 2021. But after a dip in crypto this year, it has followed other coins in decline. At the time of writing, the coin had lost nearly 15% of its value in less than 24 hours. 

This came as a huge shock considering MATIC was actually on an uptrend, has reversed some of the losses seen at the start of the year. More seriously, the coin has also surged below its 200-day moving average, suggesting that a bearish trend could hold. 

If indeed MATIC is not able to break past $1.75 and sustain gains there, then it could head towards $1 in the near term.

Should you buy Polygon (MATIC)

The answer is yes. If you are keen on buying quality cryptos with some amazing underlying fundamentals, then you won’t find a better option than MATIC. In fact, this recent dip gives investors a good opportunity to grab it at a discount. It is highly likely that the altcoin will rebound and head back up. As for short-term plays, MATIC is just too risky.
