Cosmos (ATOM) emerges as the biggest gainer among the top cryptocurrencies this May 20, brushing aside the fears about its association with Terra (LUNA), an algorithmic stablecoin project whose market valuation fell by 99% last week. Cosmos TVL down from $10M to $155K ATOM's price increased by over 10% intraday to almost $12. The gains appeared as a part of a broader upside retracement that started on May 12 when it had fallen to its eleven-month low near $8. That marked around a 45% price recovery in almost a week. The ATOM price rebound occurred despite its parent chain, Cosmos …

Technical analysis suggests that a recent uptrend in the price of Aave (AAVE) is showing signs of exhaustion based on the early development of a classic bearish reversal pattern. Is AAVE headed to $70? Dubbed a "rising wedge," the pattern surfaces when the price rises inside a range defined by two ascending, converging trendlines. As it happens, the trading volume declines, pointing to a lack of conviction among traders when additional buying is needed for continued upside momentum. Therefore, falling wedges typically result in a bearish breakout where the price breaks below the pattern's lower trendline and falls by as …

Winston Churchill’s statement to “never let a crisis go to waste” can be applied across many aspects of society, including the recent carnage seen in the crypto market. Last week's volatility is likely to have newer investors and those who took on heavy losses questioning the future of the burgeoning asset class, but in every bear trend there is a silver lining. One platform that appears to be capitalizing on the void created by TerraUSD’s (UST) collapse is Beefy Finance (BIFI), a multi-chain yield optimizing decentralized finance protocol. Data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro and TradingView shows that after hitting a …

Cardano (ADA) pared a big portion of the weekly losses incurred during this week's crypto market rout. ADA's price reached an intraday high of $0.60 on May 13, a day after rebounding from its week-to-date low of $0.38 — a 58% rally. The huge upside retracement appeared in the wake of similar price action in the crypto market with top cryptos Bitcoin (BTC) and Ether (ETH) rebounding by 23% and 25.75% since yesterday's lows. But the sharp ADA recovery does not promise an extended upward continuation, at least according to the three factors discussed below. Stock market crash far from …

The crypto market experienced another day of pain on May 12 as the fallout from Terra (LUNA) and TerraUSD (UST) failure continue to ripple across the ecosystem. While the coverage for UST and its impact on Bitcoin (BTC) have been extensively covered over the past few days, the pullback has also had a significant impact on the price of Ether (ETH) as traders hastily exited the market. Data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro and TradingView shows that the past seven days of selling dropped Ether to $1,701, a price not seen since July 2021. Here’s a look at what several analysts …

Dogecoin (DOGE) shows the prospect of undergoing a strong price rebound after reaching a technical support confluence on May 12. DOGE price 25% bounce incoming? DOGE's 45% price drop to $0.065 this week, or a 90% decline from its record high of $0.76 a year ago, was met with decent buying sentiment. As a result, the token underwent a modest price rebound on May 12, rising over 10% to $0.078. Interestingly, Dogecoin's upside retracement move started near a confluence of two support levels: a multi-month downward sloping trendline and a horizontal line that preceded a 335% price rally in the …

ApeCoin (APE) has undergone a sharp recovery after falling to its lowest level in two months. But its strong correlation with Bitcoin (BTC) and U.S. equities amid macro risks suggests more losses could be in store. APE rebounds after 80% losses in two weeks APE rebounded by nearly 45% to $7.30 on May 12. The upside retracement move came after APE dropped circa 81% to $5 on May 11, from its record high near $27.50, established on April 28. The seesaw price action mirrored similar volatile moves elsewhere in the crypto market, led by the chaos around TerraUSD (UST) — …

The knock-on effect of the collapse of Terra (LUNA) and its TerraUSD (UST) stablecoin spread wide across the cryptocurrency market on May 11 as projects with any kind of association with the decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystem have seen their prices hammered. The forced selling of the Bitcoin (BTC) holdings backing a portion of UST also influenced BTC’s current drop to $29,000. Analysts fear that DeFi platforms that have liquidity pools primarily comprised of UST and LUNA will collapse. Terra-based protocols suffer Projects with the direst of outlooks are those that are hosted on the Terra protocol including Anchor Protocol, Astroport …

Polygon (MATIC) price reversed course to the upside on May 10 after testing $0.794 as its interim support, thus rising by up to 25% to $0.99. The rebound occurred a day after the token slumped over 17% to reach $0.787, its lowest level since July 2021, amid a global market crash led by the U.S. Federal Reserve's hawkish policies. MATIC price rebounded after undergoing five days of relentless declines, attracting buyers around the same support level that had preceded a 275% bull run last year. A previous retest of the $0.787-level in July 2021 and the 0.786 Fib line (near …

Shiba Inu (SHIB) price dropped by over 10% to $0.00001641 on May 9 amid a broader crypto market decline.

Last week, luxury fashion brand Gucci named Shiba Inu in the list of tokens it would accept for payments in five of its U.S.-based stores. Nonetheless, the bulls have ignored the major adoption news as SHIB price continues to fall under macro and technical pressures. Shiba Inu triangle breakdown The prospect of Shiba Inu facing more yearly losses increases as it stays …

Monero (XMR) has shown a surprising resilience against the United States Federal Reserve’s hawkish policies that pushed the prices of most of its crypto rivals — including the top dog Bitcoin (BTC) — lower last week. XMR price closed the previous week 2.37% higher at $217, data from Binance shows. In comparison, BTC, which typically influences the broader crypto market, finished the week down 11.55%. The second-largest crypto, Ether (ETH), also plunged 11% in the same period. While the crypto market wiped off $163.25 billion from its valuation last week, down nearly 9%, Monero’s market cap increased by $87.7 million, …
