    Cardano (ADA) Targets $1: Bitcoin Could Make or Break It

    The ADA price rose 44% this week, bringing the month-to-date increase to 150%. The token’s market valuation has risen to $30.8 billion, making it the world’s ninth-largest digital asset, according to CoinMarketCap data.If today closes in green, ADA will have gained for five days in a row. With $1 firmly in sight, the focus is on where the ADA price might go next. According to Santiment, Cardano’s potential growth is closely tied to a crucial Bitcoin support level. Santiment noted that as long as BTC maintains a support level of around $95,000, November could see continued gains for ADA as profits continue redistributing to altcoins.This article was originally published on U.Today More

    Extreme Greed Dominates Crypto Market

    For clarity, the index measures crypto market sentiment to gain insights into investors’ dispositions toward different assets. It is graded on a zero scale, implying “extreme fear,” to 100, indicating “extreme greed.” Thus, a score of 94 shows that market participants have become highly optimistic and confident about Bitcoin’s price movement. This ecstatic feeling usually triggers increased speculation of future prices and strong buying activity in anticipation.As of this writing, Bitcoin was changing hands for $98,600.30, representing a 0.49% increase in the last 24 hours. With approximately $1,400 from hitting $100,000, many investors speculate and “wish” the leading digital currency would cross the historic milestone.Market analysts say these speculations might have caused the huge spike in the fear and greed index. They emphasized that Bitcoin’s high price has made many investors accumulate the coin and other bullish assets. These investors fear they could miss out on further gains if further price appreciation occurs.Interestingly, with Bitcoin’s price near the significant psychological level of $100,000, some believe that the score of 94 represents a bullish signal that might fuel further upticks.While crypto trading lacks predictability, expert opinions agree that investors should exercise caution as they trade. Investors have been urged to keep a keen eye on market trends, especially a sharp reversal in BTC’s price.This article was originally published on U.Today More

Give us your memes.”The community eagerly responded, posting memes for “the aliens.” Many of them contained ones about Dogecoin. The official account of major U.S.-based cryptocurrency exchange Kraken also posted a reply, saying: “There is no meme. Only Bitcoin.” It also posted an animated GIF with a long green Bitcoin candle to remind everyone that BTC has come really close to hitting the $100,000 level today.This time, Musk also published a photo of himself dressed in a suit with a bow tie and a white shirt, resembling the main character of the book/movie, in which Michael Corleone was played by a young Al Pacino.This tweet garnered 772,000 likes, 13,000 bookmarks, it was retweeted 63,000 times and commented on 18,000 times.
