Cryptocurrency prices FAQs
How do new token launches or listings affect cryptocurrency prices?
Token launches like Arbitrum’s ARB airdrop and Optimism OP influence demand and adoption among market participants.Listings on crypto exchanges deepen the liquidity for an asset and add new participants to an asset’s network.This is typically bullish for a digital asset.
How do hacks affect cryptocurrency prices?
A hack is an event in which an attacker captures a large volume of the asset from a DeFi bridge or hot wallet of an exchange or any other crypto platform via exploits, bugs or other methods.The exploiter then transfers these tokens out of the exchange platforms to ultimately sell or swap the assets for other cryptocurrencies or stablecoins.Such events often involve an en masse panic triggering a sell-off in the affected assets.
How do macroeconomic releases and events affect cryptocurrency prices?
Macroeconomic events like the US Federal Reserve’s decision on interest rates influence risk assets like Bitcoin, mainly through the direct impact they have on the US Dollar.An increase in interest rate typically negatively influences Bitcoin and altcoin prices, and vice versa.If the US Dollar index declines, risk assets and associated leverage for trading gets cheaper, in turn driving crypto prices higher.
How do major crypto upgrades like halvings, hard forks affect cryptocurrency prices?
Halvings are typically considered bullish events as they slash the block reward in half for miners, constricting the supply of the asset.
At consistent demand if the supply reduces, the asset’s price climbs.This has been observed in Bitcoin and Litecoin.
Bitcoin price pulls north as momentum restores
Bitcoin (BTC) price is pulling north, trying to recover all the ground lost in the recent crash that saw up to
$90 million in open interest wiped out of the market.
With the 25-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) coming into play at $34,572, BTC is trying to reclaim territory above the critical resistance at $36,788.
For a confirmed move north, investors should watch for Bitcoin price to break and close above the $36,788 level.This will set the tone for BTC to target the $37,972 range high before reaching the $38,000 psychological level.
In a highly bullish case, Bitcoin price could extend its reach to tag the $40,000 psychological level, with such a move constituting a 10% climb above current levels.
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is tipping north, suggesting momentum is rising, while the Awesome Oscillator (AO) holds in positive territory.
This adds credence to the bullish thesis.
BTC/USDT 1-day chart
Conversely, another rejection from the $36,788 resistance level could see Bitcoin price losing support due to the 25-day and 50-day EMAs at $34,572 and $32,456, respectively, before dipping into the supply zone turned bullish breaker where it could test the 100-day EMA at $30,528.

Ethereum price holds above $1,935
Ethereum (ETH) price maintains above the $1,935 level, a crucial support that could spell doom for ETH if lost.With the RSI tipping north and the AO holding in the positive zone, ETH could scale north, restoring itself above the $2,029 support in order to ride the ascending trendline.
This could ship the second-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization to the $2,136 range high.
ETH/USDT 1-day chart
However, if selling pressure increases, Ethereum price could slip below the $1,935 support.A decisive move below this level would confirm the downtrend, with ETH likely to test the 25-day or 50-day EMA at $1,892 and $1,806, respectively.
In a worse case, Ethereum price could tag the 100-day EMA at $1,763, with a break and close below it invalidating the bullish thesis under the $1,753 support level.

Ripple price breaks the triangle
Ripple (XRP) price has shown weakness, breaking out of the triangle to the downside amid reducing volatility.
Increased selling pressure could send XRP below the 25-day EMA at $0.6181.A break and close below the $0.5981 would lower optimism for a move north.
XRP/USDT 1-day chart
However, if buyer momentum increases, Ripple price could restore back above the lower trendline of the triangle above $0.6584, which would set the tone for a move to $0.7000.
In a highly bullish case, the gains could extend toward the Fair Value Gap (FVG) between $0.7519 to $0.7623, with Ripple price filling the inefficiency and restoring balance.
