1ST MARCH LATEST CRYPTO NEWS DIGITAL MAGAZINE

The Russia-Ukraine conflict attracted strong economic sanctions by the West, sending the Russian ruble (RUB) tumbling to a record low of 118 per dollar on February 28, according to Bloomberg data.

This resulted in a massive increase in Bitcoin trading volumes in the Russian ruble as investors sought to protect their wealth from the plummeting ruble. “Volume for both RUB and Ukrainian hryvnia (UAH) trading pairs increased far more quickly than volume for other pairs, such as BTCUSD, which suggests the crisis is directly influencing trading behaviour,” said crypto data company Kaiko, CNBC reported.

The Russia-Ukraine conflict has underlined the importance of cryptocurrencies, which are borderless and censorshipresistant.

We had mentioned in our previous analysis that Bitcoin could slide to £25,000 and the price dipped to £25,414.38 on February 24. The subsequent rally rose to the 50-day simple moving average (SMA) but the bears defended the level aggressively. The BTC/GBP pair turned down on February 26 but strong buying on February 28 propelled the price above the 50-day SMA. The rally has reached the strong resistance zone of £32,382 to £34,031.

This zone has acted as a strong resistance on three previous occasions, hence the bears are again expected to mount a strong defence. If the price turns down from this zone, the pair could drop to the 50-day SMA. A sharp bounce off the 50-day SMA could offer a buying opportunity to traders as that will suggest that sentiment has turned positive and traders are buying on dips.

If buyers drive the pair above the overhead zone, the next stop could be the 200-day SMA. This positive view will be invalidated if the price turns down from the current level and breaks below the 50-day SMA. Such a move will indicate that the pair remains range-bound between £24,450 and £34,032.

CRYPTO TRADE OPPORTUNITIES

BITCOIN – BTC/GBP

We had mentioned in our previous analysis that Bitcoin could slide to £25,000 and the price dipped to £25,414.38 on February 24. The subsequent rally rose to the 50-day simple moving average (SMA) but the bears defended the level aggressively.

The BTC/GBP pair turned down on February 26 but strong buying on February 28 propelled the price above the 50-day SMA. The rally has reached the strong resistance zone of £32,382 to £34,031.   Read more

ETHEREUM – ETH/GBP

We had suggested that Ether is likely to find strong buying support near £1,732 and that is what happened. The ETH/GBP pair bounced off £1,704.91 on February 24, indicating accumulation at lower levels.

The bears stalled the recovery at the 50-day SMA on February 26 but the bull broke above the barrier on February 28. The pair could now rise to the resistance line of the triangle where the bears may mount a stiff resistance.  Read more

RIPPLE – XRP/GBP

XRP dipped to £0.46 on February 24, close to our projected support zone of £0.43 to £0.40. The XRP/GBP pair rose above the 50-day SMA on February 25 but turned back from the downtrend line on February 26.

A minor positive is that the bulls defended the 50-day SMA and the price bounced off this level on February 28. This indicates that the sentiment remains positive and traders are buying on dips. Read more

CARDANO – ADA/GBP

Cardano remains in a strong downtrend. The bulls purchased the dip to the support line of the descending channel on February 24 and the buyers are trying to push the ADA/GBP pair to the 50-day SMA. This level is likely to attract strong selling by the bears.

If the price turns down from the 50-day SMA, it will suggest that bears continue to sell on rallies. However, if bulls do not give up much ground from the 50-day SMA, it will increase the possibility of a break above the level.  Read more

BINANCE – BNB/GBP

We said in our previous analysis that traders will aggressively defend £247 and that is how it played out. Binance Coin dipped below £247 but this move proved to be a bear trap.

The price quickly turned around and bounced sharply, indicating strong demand at lower levels. The BNB/GBP pair has reached the 50-day SMA, which is again acting as a strong resistance.  Read more

NFT MARKET SUMMARY

The year 2022 began with quite a few launches of NFTs projects in January and the momentum is continuing in February too. The fact that most of the projects have long term vision as far as their existence and sustainability is concerned, shows that the existing players are quite bullish about the future of NFTs.

One reason for the bullishness could be the spike in trading volumes that we saw in December after a period of declining volumes in the preceding few months. That being said, it is a long way ahead before NFTs are considered at par with other mainstream asset classes. Here are the key recent developments in the NFT space

DeFi Coming to Solana with Hubble Protocol

Solana came into the picture back in March 2020. Since then, it has skyrocketed both in usage and in price. Despite the network outages that many incorrectly assumed to be the death of Solana, the network has continued to soar higher and stronger. Solana’s native token (SOL) has risen significantly since January 2021, signalling a huge interest in the Solana network by the market. As of September 2021, the total value locked in Solana DeFi protocols amounted to $12 billion. While this is nowhere near the humongous $120 billion locked in Ethereum, it is a start and good progress in the right direction. One of the most recent developments in the network is the Hubble Protocol. This project will help bring DeFi to Solana in a massive way.  Read more
