Biggest Movers: SHIB, LTC Marginally Higher During Volatile Start to the Week

Shiba inu started the week trading marginally higher, despite cryptocurrencies mostly consolidating on Feb. 27. At the time of writing, the global market cap is currently up 0.83%, as volatility has intensified. Litecoin also rebounded on Monday, hitting a four-day high.

Shiba Inu (SHIB)

Shiba inu (SHIB) continued to move away from a recent support point to start the week, as prices rose marginally higher on Monday.

Following a low $0.0000124 on Sunday, SHIB/USD raced to an intraday high of $0.00001307 earlier today.

This move comes as the meme coin bounced from its long-term price floor at the $0.00001230 mark.

SHIB/USD – Daily Chart

Overall, SHIB is down 7% in the last seven days, and this comes following a downward cross of the 10-day (red) and 25-day (blue) moving averages.

In addition to this, the relative strength index (RSI) of 14 days has also failed to move past a ceiling at the 52.00 mark

The index is now tracking at 50.44, which comes after bulls rejected a breakout of a floor at 49.00.

Litecoin (LTC)

In addition to SHIB, litecoin (LTC) also climbed higher, hitting a four-day high in the process.

LTC/USD moved to a peak of $95.58 to start the week, after ending the weekend trading at a bottom of $93.79.

As a result of today’s gains, the token is now trading at its strongest point since last week, Thursday.

LTC/USD – Daily Chart

The initial move came following a breakout of a resistance point of 50.00 on the RSI indicator.

As of writing, the index is hovering slightly above this mark, with a current reading of 50.43.

LTC has since declined, and is now at $94.64, which appears to be a result of price strength tracking near a ceiling.

Crypto market ‘dramatically underestimates’ bullishness of spot Bitcoin ETFs

Image
“It’s reckless not to aggressively accumulate BTC at current levels,” K33 senior analyst Velte Lund said in a recent report. The potential of a spot Bitcoin (BTC) exchange-traded fund (ETF) approval to drive prices up is dramatically underestimated by the crypto market , claim analysts from crypto research firm K33 — formerly Arcane Research.  In a Sept. 5 market report, K33 senior analyst Vetle Lunde and vice president Anders Helseth said the last three months had greatly improved the chances of a spot Bitcoin ETF approval despite the sentiment not being reflected in the price of Bitcoin or other mainstay crypto assets. The analysts explained while Bitcoin had all but given up its gains in the wake of Grayscale’s legal victory over the Securities and Exchange Commission — an approval would “attract enormous inflows” and significantly increase buying pressure for Bitcoin. Bitcoin returned its gains in the wake of Grayscale's victory. Source: K33 Research However, the downside of ...

Crypto Bias Blocks People from Seeing Coinbase as Goldman 2.0: Bitwise CEO

In a recent tweet, Hunter Horsley, CEO of Bitwise Asset Management, shared his frustration with the poor attention given to the US-based crypto, Coinbase, claiming that people are “sleeping” on the crypto business. Horsley argued that while big banks like Goldman Sachs attempt to avoid a “slow death” by investing in technology, APIs, and retail services, Coinbase has already achieved what many banks strive to attain. He points out that the exchange has an exceptional institutional team with 25% of the most significant hedge funds as clients, over 50% institutional volume, and a suite of first-class tech products. The Bitwise CEO also claimed that Coinbase co-invented the USDC payment rail, facilitating $2 trillion in transfers in 2022 Q4 alone. Rant — People are sleeping on Coinbase. Big banks like GS are working to avoid slow death by getting into technology, APIs (Apple deal), more retail services (Marcus), while grappling with the heft of legacy biz, rate exposure, ...
