Horizen Labs’ ApeCoin staking hype sets $APE on a bullish trajectory

ApeCoin (APE) has been on a slow but sure bullish trend in the past seven days and it appears set to pump more in the coming days and weeks ahead of Horizen Labs’ ApeCoin staking launch.

The price of APE has increased by 19.2% over the past seven days according to Coingecko. At press time, the coin was trading at $5.67 and has moved up 4.92% over the past 24 hours.

Besides, the much-awaited ApeCoin staking launch, Horizen Labs also indicated that it would hold a Twitter space on the subject on September 22, something that is also expected to foster further price growth.

When will the ApeCoin staking go live?

It remains unclear exactly when the ApeCoin staking will be launched and some APE holders have started expressing their dissatisfaction and disappointment on social media for its delayed launch.

However, the general sentiment on APE is very bullish, pointing to a possibility of the staking going live very soon. Investors are already rushing to buy the coin.

Horizen Labs, which is the firm that is developing the staking system for ApeCoin (APE) recently released a “sneak peek” video of what the staking will look like. The firm describes itself as a leader in Web3 tool and it has already set up a website called ApeStake.io where it says users will stake their APE coins.

What is ApeCoin?

ApeCoin is a decentralized project built by Yuga Labs’ Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) project. The project uses a native token called ApeCoin (APE) that was created to be used within the burgeoning APE Ecosystem, which is supported by the APE Foundation and the ApeCoin decentralized autonomous organization (ApeCoin DAO).

The ApeCoin DAO is a community-driven initiative that allows APE holders to vote on ideas, projects and other proposals within the APE ecosystem. The ApeCoin (APE) token on the other hand is an ERC20 token and it acts as a governance token within the ApeCoin DAO.

The APE token reached an all-time high of $25 in May this year and although its price has significantly dropped, it still remains among the top 40 coins by market cap despite its general lack of utility compared to other cryptocurrencies.

What the ApeCoin Staking will entail

According to details released by the ApeCoin DAO, the ApeCoin staking will in summary be open to all Bored Ape (BAYC) and Mutant Ape (MAYC) holders that stake their NFTs plus APE coin.

But for holders to generate more revenue, they have to hold a particular set of APE, which is 10,094 for BAYC holders and 2,042 for MAYC holders.

Is Uniswap on a bullish reversal ahead of Ethereum Merge?

Uniswap Crypto Coin

  • Uniswap is the largest DEX with a $5.52 billion TVL.

  • Uniswap token has been recovering in the last seven days.

  • UNI has further potential after keeping key support and is a hold or buy on a retracement.

Uniswap UNI/USD is the leading decentralized exchange, with a total value locked of $5.52 billion. Out of the TVL, $5.3 billion is locked on Ethereum. Thus, it is expected that the Ethereum Merge will impact protocols such as Uniswap.

Uniswap has been gaining in the last one week ahead of the projected soft date of September 15 for the Merge. It is still too early to speculate that the gains are attributed to the Merge. Across the sector, most cryptocurrencies have been gaining. The gains in UNI reflect the broader crypto sentiment rather than the Merge itself.

UNI recovers from the $5.6 support as the price shows bullish signs

Source – TradingView

Looking at the daily chart, UNI is initiating a bullish reversal after buyers resisted bears at $5.6. The price retested the support before bouncing back and recently crossed above the 20-day MA. Multiple inside bars formed at the support before the price broke to the upside. The breakout confirms a bullish momentum.

The MACD technical indicators also show a building momentum, with a bullish crossover. However, the MACD indicator remains below 0, suggesting that UNI’s bear market is yet to end.

Concluding thoughts

While technical indicators are mixed for UNI, the token shows renewed strengths. The price resisted bearish pressure at $5.6 two times. It broke above multiple pin bars, and the 20-day MA joined support. The price action reinforces a bullish bias in the short term. A potential retracement is an opportunity to buy while the price maintains $5.6 support.

How bullish is Sandbox token after welcoming banking giant DBS

  • Sandbox announced a partnership to take DBS to the metaverse.

  • Metaverse is estimated to go up to $13 trillion in value in the current decade.

  • Sandbox is yet to post strong gains amid the partnership.

Metaverse – an integrated network that promises virtual worlds and a 3D version of the internet. The network will be a $13 trillion opportunity by 2030, according to Citi analysts. The craze to enter the 3D virtual reality world grew exponentially in 2021. It has since cooled down, taking with it the tokens of Metaverse platforms such as Sandbox SAND/USD. 

There is still hope as companies again show interest in the yet-to-be-exploited space. On September 9, banking giant DBS said it was entering the metaverse through the Sandbox. DBS is set to purchase a 3*3 piece of real estate on The Sandbox. The partnership will give birth to DBS BetterWorld, an interactive experience in the virtual space. 

Revisiting SAND after the DBS partnership

While the DBS partnership rekindles the memories of the metaverse, SAND is yet to react strongly. The token is up only 1.55% in the last one week.

Source – TradingView

From the technical outlook, SAND is recovering. A bullish MACD crossover confirms a bullish building momentum. However, the current price level remains vulnerable. 

The established resistance for SAND is $1.00. The cryptocurrency currently trades at $0.966. The price is already facing resistance at or slightly below $1.00. Although the price has slightly crossed above the 20-day MA, the momentum is weak. The possible price move is bearish unless SAND reclaims $1.00.

Concluding thoughts

Sandbox recently welcomed DBS to the metaverse. The native token is yet to post significant gains. The slow gains may indicate that crypto’s macro-issues are far from over. SAND faces resistance at $1 while the momentum looks weak.

Can TRX hit new levels after strategic partnership with Wintermute?

  • Tron’s has entered a strategic partnership with crypto market maker Wintermute.

  • TRX is showing recovery at a 2% gain in the past week.

  • The token, however, lacks the momentum to continue with the uptrend.

Tron TRX/USD has jumped 0.33% in the past day and 2.09% in the past week. The positive sentiment is partly due to Tron’s strategic partnership with Wintermute. The latter is a global crypto market maker. In the partnership, Wintermute seeks to provide liquidity for TRX pairs across crypto exchanges.

The crypto market maker has stirred optimism in the Tron network since joining Tron DAO reserve. As part of the DAO, Wintermute facilitates the minting and redeeming of Tron’s decentralized stablecoin USDD.

Much as Tron has been around for a while, its fundamentals position the network right. The blockchain was created to give content creators exclusive ownership rights over their work. It is now a go-to network where users can create dApps, share content, and benefit from TRX incentives.

Recently, Tron was lauded as the most eco-friendly blockchain with a low carbon footprint. A report by the Crypto Carbon Ratings Institute has attributed this to the platform’s Delegated proof-of-stake consensus model. Unlike PoW, DPoS allows users to stake native TRX tokens to nodes for a chance to validate transactions. However, TRX is showing mixed signals in the daily chart. 

TRX on a sluggish recovery

Source: TradingView

Technically, TRX is looking bullish. The token has moved from $0.059 and $0.064 since September 7, representing an 8% increase. From the chart above, the 20-day moving average has joined support, but the token remains below the 50-day moving average.

TRX currently has an RSI reading of 50, signifying no specific trend. Furthermore, TRX faces an immediate resistance level at $0.066.

Bottom line

Tron is looking up but lacks the momentum to maintain the price movement. The RSI is at a neutral 50, and investors must wait for the market to show a defined trend. From the long-term perspective, TRX has solid fundamentals coming from the partnership with Wintermute.
