Centric Swap leads ‘Uptober’ after a swift 1,000% gain. Here’s why it could go higher
In the past few weeks, Centric Swap (CNS), a dual-token model that gives stakers a fixed hourly yield that “stabilizes over time as it self-regulates token supply to meet ongoing changes in demand,” has rallied more than 850% and is still about 200% away from its previous all-time high. Data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro and TradingView shows that since hitting a low of $0.000104 on Sept. 9, the price of CNS has skyrocketed 1,130% to a daily high at $0.0017659 on Oct. 15 as its 24-hour trading volume spiked 130% to $6.4 million. Three reasons for the rapid rise in …

Why HODL for 48 hours? Because your altcoin wallet will thank you
It might seem that the volatility of digital assets’ prices and the lightning speed with which crypto markets move would mean that those who act fastest secure the heftiest rewards. And, in certain cases, this holds true. For example, when an announcement of a token’s listing on Coinbase or Binance first goes public, and the asset’s price line becomes all but vertical. But, in many cases, the tortoise beats the hare. This principle is clearly at work when it comes to traders using quant-style tools to enhance their decision-making. One example is the VORTECS™ Score, an algorithmic comparison between historic …

Better call SOL: Month-long consolidation puts Solana price en route to $275
Solana (SOL) price technicals suggest SOL can hit $275 in the coming sessions. The upside outlook for the world's sixth-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization comes as it consolidates inside a range that appears like a bull pennant. In detail, Bull Pennants are bullish continuation indicators that form as the price consolidates inside a symmetrical triangle-like structure following a strong move upside. The consolidation trend accompanies declining volumes, reflecting on the trend's underlying weakness. And, as the price approached the apex — the point where the pennant's trendlines converge, it tends to undergo a breakout to the upside, with the bull …

Polygon can hit $3.50 in Q4 as MATIC’s 20% weekly rally triggers bull flag setup
Polygon (MATIC) has the potential to reach $3.50 by the end of this year as it charts a pattern that’s starting to resemble a bull flag. In detail, bull flags are bullish continuation patterns that emerge when the price consolidates following a strong move higher. In doing so, the price tends to trend lower while leaving behind a sequence of higher lows and lower lows. A breakout occurs when the price closes above the flag’s upper trendline (or resistance). In other words, the price can rise by as much as the height of the previous uptrend, also known as a …

Bitcoin-related altcoins surge as BTC ETF rumors spread across the sector
On Oct. 14, bulls flexed their muscles and showed their intent to push the price of Bitcoin (BTC) closer to its $65,900 all-time high.

Data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro and TradingView shows that after hitting a low of $54,103 on Oct. 13, the price of Bitcoin rallied 8.2% to an intraday high of $58,532 on Oct. 14 as the ETF discussion made fresh rounds on Crypto Twitter. The spike above $58,500 is also significant because …

What else is moving as Bitcoin price inches toward a new ATH?
Bitcoin (BTC) is hot and clearly in the hands of bulls. Yes, eventually an exchange-traded fund (ETF) is coming and after that a $100,000, no $120,000, scratch that, $150,000 BTC price will be on the board. Blah, blah, blah. Anyone logging onto crypto Twitter is going to be bombarded with all this bullish drivel straight from the jump and that's great, we’re all happy Bitcoin is doing well. I've been a holder since early 2016 so of course, I’m happy. But, isn’t there more to crypto than just Bitcoin? Aren’t there other assets that are moving? Wouldn’t it be nice …

Polkadot eyes breakout to $75 after DOT price rally sets up classic bullish reversal
Polkadot (DOT) chart technicals suggest it may rally to a new record high near $75 if DOT can manage to close above its $41–$43 range decisively. That’s according to a classic bullish reversal setup known as an inverse head and shoulders (H&S) that forms when the price undergoes three selloffs during a period of market consolidation. Specifically, the pattern contains an initial selloff, followed by a short-term price rally and another — deeper — selloff. That leads to one more small correction to the upside, followed by another selloff that bottoms out near/at the lowest level of the first selloff. …

Olympus DAO chases a new ATH after fresh bond offerings and partnerships
The rapidly evolving world of blockchain technology offers a wide range of approaches and tokenomic models aimed at solving the blockchain trilemma of creating a decentralized, stable and secure network. One tokenomic model that has seen several variants over the past year is the 'rebase' model, which is designed in a way so that token balances can fluctuate over time depending on changes in the token price and the supply in circulation. Olympus (OHM) is a rebase project that has caught the attention of many in the crypto space over the past six months — in large part thanks to …

Binance Coin eyes $560 next after BNB price 'Cup and Handle' breakout
The ongoing price boom in the Binance Coin (BNB) market is painting a classic bullish chart pattern with an upside target of $560. Dubbed as Cup and Handle, the pattern appears when the price forms an advance that appears like a U-shaped trend (Cup). That follows up with a formation of a descending channel range (Handle). A breakout above the Handle range typically leads to an upside continuation, with a bullish target at a length equal to the Cup's size. So it appears that BNB has undergone a price trajectory that looks like the Cup and Handle pattern. Furthermore, the …

Shiba Inu rebounds 40% despite major selling by SHIB whales
Shiba Inu (SHIB) kickstarted its new weekly session in the green as it continued its bullish retracement move from last week’s low of $0.00002058. SHIB’s price logged an intraday high of $0.00002907 on Oct. 11, netting over 40% returns from its ongoing rebound trend. In doing so, the Dogecoin-inspired meme cryptocurrency eyed an extended runup toward its technical resistance level near $0.00002978, as shown in the chart below. Extended rally ahead? The Shiba Inu chart also shows traders’ intention to accumulate SHIB tokens when its price tests the 20-4H exponential moving average (20-4H EMA; the green wave) as support. For …

Shiba Inu is now a top-20 cryptocurrency with SHIB price soaring 300% in 9 days
The run-up in the price of Shiba Inu (SHIB) so far in October has pushed the SHIB token to become the 20th largest digital asset by market capitalization. Shiba Inu's circulating market valuation jumped to $11.08 billion earlier this week and is currently above $10 billion, putting it in the top-20 by market cap for the first time. As a result, the Dogecoin-inspired meme cryptocurrency became more valuable than popular blockchain projects like Stellar (XLM), Polygon (MATIC) and Tron (TRX). The growth in Shiba Inu's valuation came on the heels of a tweet published by Elon Musk. On Oct. 4, …

'Much ow' ahead? Dogecoin chart fractal puts Shiba Inu's 390% QTD rally in danger
Shiba Inu (SHIB) has emerged as one of the best investments heading into the fourth and final quarter of 2021, with its price rising by over 390% in the first week of October. Nonetheless, the spin-off meme cryptocurrency now risks wiping most of those gains in the coming sessions. Yuriy Bishko, a Ukraine-based market analyst, discussed the potential bearish scenario based on Shiba Inu's recent price trends, which appear eerily similar to those recorded in the Dogecoin (DOGE) market earlier this year. For instance, SHIB's October price rally followed five months of consolidation inside a $0.00000398-wide price range. Similarly, DOGE's …
