Here is why ZRX is up by nearly 10% today

The cryptocurrency market has been underperforming over the past 24 hours and could record further losses soon.

The broader crypto market has entered a bearish trend again despite a good start to the week. The market has lost nearly 5% of its value in the last 24 hours and currently has a total market cap of $1.77 trillion. 

Bitcoin is down by more than 5% so far today and now trades around $38 per coin. Ether has also lost more than 5% of its value in the last 24 hours and currently trades at $2,847 per coin.

ZRX, the native token of the 0x Protocol, is the best performer amongst the top 100 cryptocurrencies by market cap. ZRX, alongside STEPN, are the only cryptocurrencies trading in the green zone amongst the top 100.

ZRX has added more than 9% to its value in the last 24 hours, making it the best performer amongst the leading 100 cryptocurrencies. 

The ongoing rally is fueled by the news that 0x Labs raised $70 million in a recent Series B funding round. The funding round was led by Greylock and other investors, including Pantera, Sound Ventures, A.Capital, Jump Crypto, OpenSea, Coinbase, Brevan Howard, IOSG Ventures, Reid Hoffman and Jared Leto.

Key levels to watch

The XRZ/USD 4-hour chart is currently positive as 0x has been performing well in the last 24 hours. The technical indicators show that the coin’s performance has been positive in the past few days.

The MACD line remains below the neutral zone but could soon be out of the negative region if the rally is sustained. The 14-day RSI of 55 shows that ZRX is no longer in the oversold region. 

At press time, ZRX is trading at $0.83750. If the bulls remain in control, ZRX could rally past the first major resistance level at $0.9149 before the end of the day.

However, the broader market is bearish at the moment, and that could impact ZRX’s performance in the short term. ZRX could slip below the first major support level at $0.7341. 

Despite the bearish trend in the market, ZRX should comfortably defend its position above the $0.6810 support level in the short term.

Robinhood cuts its full-time staff by 9%, shares fall sharply

Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev said in a blog post on Tuesday that the “duplicate roles and job functions” were among the reasons the company decided to release the employees.

Robinhood has announced that 9% of its full-time staff have been let go amid the need to downsize after a rapid expansion over the past couple of years.

The trading app, founded in 2013, says its employee count grew exponentially through 2020 and the first half of 2021. As customer demand increased due to the pandemic lockdowns, fiscal stimulus and low interest rates, the firm’s full-time staff jumped from 700 to 3,800.

Duplicate roles was a factor

Vlad Tenev, the firm’s CEO, said in a blog post on Tuesday that rapid growth had inevitably led to “duplicate roles and job functions, and more layers and complexity than are optimal.”

It’s these factors that the company considered as they made the difficult decision to let go of the employees, he added.

“We determined that making these reductions to Robinhood’s staff is the right decision to improve efficiency, increase our velocity, and ensure that we are responsive to the changing needs of our customers.”

Robinhood keen on delivering on strategic goals

According to the CEO, the layoffs are a “deliberate step” towards ensuring the company continues to deliver on its strategic goals. It’s also intended to see it further its objectives in democratizing finance.

“We will continue to accelerate our product momentum through 2022 and will introduce key new products across Brokerage, Crypto, and Spending/Saving,” he wrote.

During the last two years, Robinhood has grown its net user accounts from 5 million to 22 million. Revenue also increased from approximately $278 million in 2019 to more than $1.8 billion in 2021. GameStop and Dogecoin have been among the top two most traded assets on the trading app.

The company, which went public last year, reportedly has over $6 billion in cash on its balance. The US-based firm will release its Q1 earnings results on Thursday.

Robinhood shares fell sharply following the announcement, with the company’s stock losing 3.75% by market’s close.

Dip buying whales push Bitcoin (BTC) above $40,000 once again

After facing strong downward pressure over the last weekend, Bitcoin (BTC) has rebounded. The mega-cap coin has in fact reclaimed $40,000 and is looking to consolidate further in the coming days. Here are the key facts to note:

  • The recent upswing is largely fueled by dip-buying BTC whales

  • $38,000 has proved to be a popular dip price for large wallets.

  • BTC is likely to maintain an upward trajectory and test $45,000.

Data Source: Tradingview 

Bitcoin (BTC) – Price Analysis and prediction

For the best part of 2022, Bitcoin has been trading at a very stable range. After bottoming at around $32,000 in February, BTC has rebounded and is now sitting slightly above $40,000. The downside risk also appears to be capped at $35,000. In fact, for the last two months or so, the coin has not fallen below that price. 

This is probably because of the dip-buying Bitcoin whales who have been scooping up the coin at around $38,000. In fact, every time Bitcoin has dropped below $40,000, we have seen it bounce back almost immediately. 

At the moment, the coin will try and consolidate gains above $40,000. After that, it will retest at $45,000. Whether Bitcoin bulls can create enough momentum to surge past $45,000 remains to be seen. But so far, the coin has struggled to clear its 200-day SMA of around $49,000. We don’t expect this to change and as such, upward potential right now is capped at $49,000.

Should you follow Bitcoin Whales?

It’s always a good idea to follow large wallets when making investments in crypto. Besides, BTC whales appear to be getting it right. 

The $38,000 whale entry price has gone on to deliver superb returns in the last few weeks and as such, it would make sense for any investor to follow whale money when trading this coin.
