Welcome to the US Morning Crypto News Briefing—your essential rundown of the most important developments in crypto for the day ahead.

Grab a coffee to see how Bitcoin (BTC) is faring against public companies, precious metals, and ETFs (exchange-traded funds) on metrics of total assets by market capitalization. The pioneer crypto is proving formidable, taking the stage as a tech stock proxy to ‘dynamic hedge’ against equities and US Treasury risk.

Bitcoin Surpassed Google in Market Cap

Amidst renewed optimism, Bitcoin has surpassed Google, effectively joining the top five assets on market cap metrics.

According to data on companiesmarketcap.com, which tracks over 10,436 firms, Bitcoin is now the fifth most valuable asset after GOLD, Apple (AAPL), Microsoft (MSFT), and Nvidia (NVDA). As of this writing, it boasts a market cap of $1.86 trillion.

This growth comes as Bitcoin progressively gains attention as a hedge against traditional finance (TradFi) and US Treasury risk, which aligns with the most recent US Crypto News publication. As BeInCrypto reported, experts say Bitcoin’s number one purpose in a portfolio is to hedge against risks to the existing financial system.

In contrast, Gold is losing appeal after recently establishing a new all-time high (ATH). While President Trump’s tariffs catapulted Gold to new heights, there appears to be a capital rotation as investors’ appetite for risk grows.

“Bitcoin has surged past the prior $88,800 technical ceiling, clearing the psychological $90,000 mark to trade at an eye-watering $93,500. Meanwhile, Gold has slid 6 percent, reflecting a renewed appetite for risk and a clear rotation into digital assets,” QCP Capital analysts said.

According to analysts, institutions are no longer testing the waters of crypto. Instead, they are diving in headfirst. Based on this outlook, BeInCrypto contacted Standard Chartered Head of Digital Assets Research Geoff Kendrick, who forecasted a new ATH for Bitcoin price.

Standard Chartered Reiterates Next Bitcoin ATH

According to Kendrick, the increasing 10-year US Treasury term premium, now at a 12-year high, correlates with an increase in Bitcoin price. The term premium is the additional yield investors demand to hold a long-term bond instead of a series of shorter-term bonds.

“While correlations vary over time, the relationship between Bitcoin and the term premium is pretty solid, especially since the start of 2024. This relationship shows that Bitcoin has lagged the term premium increase in recent weeks,” Kendrick told BeInCrypto.

According to the analyst, this lag likely reflects the previous narrative that tariffs are hurting tech stocks and Bitcoin trading, such as Mag7 stocks.

Further, the Standard Chartered head of digital asset research added that as long as Federal Reserve (Fed) independence issues continue to play out, Bitcoin will keep heading higher. Against this backdrop, Kendrick reiterated his end-of-year Bitcoin price target.

“This could be what is needed for the next all-time high, and on that, I reiterate my current forecasts for Bitcoin, of 200k end-2025 and 500k end-2028,” he added.

As Bitcoin acts as a dynamic hedge, it remains to be seen whether it can flip Nvidia this quarter. Nevertheless, Kendrick does not rule it out, acknowledging that dominant narratives change and Bitcoin serves several purposes in portfolios.

After much anticipation, the ZORA airdrop is finally live, rewarding early platform users across two snapshot periods. However, there was notable confusion among the community on whether an official checker or claim site was provided.

Operating on the Zora network, the project leverages low-cost transactions via Base blockchain, making it accessible for creators and collectors. Jesse Pollak, the creator of Base blockchain, commented on Zora and content coins amid the airdrop euphoria. 

No Official Checker or Claim Site for ZORA Airdrop 

Airdrop farmers expressed concerns during the hours leading up to the Zora airdrop as the network did not provide an official checker or claim site.

“Zora launches in 30 mins & no official checker or claim site in view. Incompetence,” wrote a core contributor at NFTNG. 

However, reports suggested that Zora airdrops would happen automatically, not requiring users to claim the token. Users were required to go to the contract address and check their allocations.

Alot of people trying to claim $Zora onchain directly from smart contract..

For me, it’s not necessary to be in rush.. you can burn all your allocation if you do it wrongly.

You can only check your allocation using the READ function on the smart contract, Head to allocation,… pic.twitter.com/JoIFwH3bmQ

From inception, the project committed to transforming the creator economy. To do this, it aimed to empower artists and developers through its decentralized NFT marketplace and protocol.

It aims to foster a permissionless, on-chain creator ecosystem, evidenced by its distribution of 300,000 OP tokens to early users in past campaigns.

Zora’s airdrop required users to engage with the network, minting NFTs, bridging ETH, or using Uniswap, before snapshots on March 3 and days before the Token Generation Event (TGE).

“Snapshot 1 includes activity from 00:00:00 UTC January 1, 2020 up until 14:00:00 UTC March 3, 2025. Snapshot 2 includes activity from 14:00:00 UTC March 3, 2025 up until 00:00:00 UTC April 20, 2025,” Zora said in a Sunday post.

Zora launched its “fun token” with a 10 billion total supply. It allocated 10% (1 billion tokens) for a retroactive airdrop to reward early adopters, including NFT minters, buyers, and creators.

An additional 20% was reserved for community incentives, though 65% went to insiders (team, treasury, contributors). This sparked criticism of skewed tokenomics.

However, ZORA has been listed on exchanges like Binance Alpha (DEX), Bybit, Bitget, KuCoin, Gate, MEXC, and Bitrue. Its launch price was also $0.03, which aligned with pre-market prices estimated at $0.02–$0.06.

Meanwhile, attention has shifted to Content Coins amidst the Zora airdrop frenzy. The mismatch between their viral popularity and financial returns has become apparent.

While Zora’s novel platform cultivated a loyal creator base, concerns linger over transparency and token utility.

The ZORA token, lacking governance rights, drew scrutiny from figures like ZachXBT. As BeInCrypto reported, the blockchain sleuth questioned Zora’s pivot to meme coin-like tokens and its decline in NFT market share amid competition from platforms like OpenSea.

Against this backdrop, BeInCrypto contacted Jesse Pollak, Creator of the Base network, on the same matter. Pollak recently defended the value of content coins, emphasizing their potential for creators despite volatility.

Jesse Pollak Discusses Base Network’s Viral Gambit

As meme coins surge back into the spotlight, the Zora airdrop has ushered in a new frontier in content. While Solana has positioned itself as the go-to chain for meme coin launches, Base Network is quietly redrawing the map.

With an ethos rooted in accessibility, virality, and on-chain creator empowerment, Base is going beyond competition and expanding the playing field.

In an exclusive with BeInCrypto, Jesse Pollak shared his thoughts on the rise of meme culture on-chain and why the next wave will not look like the last.

“We’re working to bring a billion people on-chain, and we know we can’t do that alone. I have a lot of respect for the Solana team – they have done a lot to onboard people into crypto, and I’m glad to see that. We’re looking to grow the pie, not just compete for the existing pie. And we see content coins on Base as one way to grow that pie,” Pollack told BeInCrypto.

According to the Base executive, one must not understand anything about crypto or the underlying infrastructure before posting on Zora.

Instead, creators can post their content, start earning, and experience firsthand the benefits of on-chain social.

From Meme Coins to Content Coins

Meme coins like DOGE, PEPE, and BONK have thrived on shared culture and speculative energy. However, where those coins demand coordinated communities, shill strategies, and roadmap hype, content coins represent a cleaner break from tradition.

“Content coins are one-off pieces of content that are also coins. Most photos posted on social media are just photos, but occasionally something will take off and become a viral meme. Similarly, with content coins, most of them are just pieces of content that people should post without expectation. However, big ones have the potential to turn into memes, and the free market is deciding on the value of each piece of content,” Pollak added.

According to the Base creator, virality, decoupled from long-term projects, marks a philosophical departure. It lowers the barrier to entry while foregrounding creativity, not coordination.

In contrast, Solana’s meme coins often emulate startup cultures, featuring brand building, influencer tie-ins, and a pitch deck’s worth of lore.

Base’s alignment with platforms like Zora introduces a new monetization pathway. Instead of creators launching tokens, they are launching moments.

Each post becomes an atomic unit of culture, value, and trade. Moreover, Base invites the entire internet to participate because no crypto literacy is required.

In this way, Base transcends a chain, becoming a cultural substrate for the next evolution of the web. It is a platform where virality itself becomes liquid.

Whether Base overtakes Solana as the new epicenter for memetic creation remains to be seen.

However, the network’s commitment to onboarding creators, not just developers and degens, sets a unique tone. It is meme culture without the roadmap, presenting virality without the whitepaper.

If Solana is the Nasdaq of meme coins, Base looks more like TikTok with a wallet in the race to bring the next billion users on-chain.

Binance, the largest crypto exchange by trading volume metrics, has strengthened its compliance regulations for users in South Africa, aligning with the country’s regulatory demands.

The development comes four years after the exchange’s legal engagements with South African regulators, culminating in Binance amending its offerings.

Binance Tightens Compliance for South African Users

Binance announced stricter regulations for its users in South Africa. Effective April 30, users must provide detailed information on both the sender and receiver of any crypto transactions on the exchange.

“In adherence to local regulatory requirements, Binance will gradually introduce changes to crypto withdrawal and deposit procedures for South African users to make sure we continue operating in full compliance to the local requirements,” Binance announced.  

Specifically, for deposits, users in South Africa will have to provide the sender’s information when receiving any amount of crypto on their Binance exchange accounts. Regarding crypto withdrawals, users must provide the beneficiary’s information when sending any crypto out of their Binance accounts.

Details could comprise the full name, country of residence, and details regarding the originating exchange.

“This update only affects crypto deposits and withdrawals,” Binance articulated.

The exchange will demand these requirements through a pop-up message when performing the affected transactions.

Further, failure to provide these details could result in delayed transactions or failure to execute entirely. This means crypto assets are returned to the originator.

The upending of these requirements follows growing regulatory pressure from South African regulators, who pursue stronger oversight in the sector.  

Meanwhile, this is not the first time Binance has complied with South African regulations. Four years ago, the leading exchange discontinued multiple service offerings in the country, including futures, options, margin trading, and leveraged tokens.

Beyond that, South Africa’s FSCA (Financial Sector Conduct Authority) welcomed Binance’s action to restrict South Africans from opening new accounts to trade derivatives.

This decision was part of the regulator’s push for its citizenry to stick with derivative market transactions with a FAIS Act-compliant Registered Financial Services Provider. FAIS stands for Financial Advisory and Intermediary Services.

Meanwhile, as South Africans brace for new regulations regarding the Binance exchange after April 30, the question arises: Is Kenya next?

Kenya To Start Taxing Crypto Exchanges

Recently, reports indicated that Kenya could begin taxing crypto exchanges for commissions they receive from the country’s over four million digital currency users. However, this move is contingent on the adoption of fresh regulations.

Under the proposed new regulations, which guide the payment of the digital service tax, crypto exchanges operating in Kenya will be required to pay a 1.5% duty.

“For the purposes of these Regulations, a taxable electronic, Internet or digital marketplace supply include… facilitation of online payment for, exchange or transfer of digital assets excluding services exempted under the Act,” the Business Daily reported, citing former Treasury Cabinet Secretary Njuguna Ndung’u.

These comments followed the National Treasury unveiling a Draft National Policy on Virtual Assets and Virtual Asset Service Providers and the Virtual Asset Service Providers Bill, 2024, which aimed to bring clarity and oversight to the digital asset ecosystem.

Such legislation could warrant crypto exchanges operating in Kenya adopting similar requirements as Binance in South Africa.

Cardano (ADA) has recently shown a modest recovery, riding the wave of broader market bullishness, which has brought its price back above $0.70. 

This uptick has sparked renewed optimism among investors, and if the bullish momentum continues, Cardano could see a breakout above $0.80, potentially marking a significant shift in its price trajectory.

Cardano Could End Its Bearishness

Cardano’s technical indicators have recently shown signs of a potential turnaround, especially after a Death Cross formation. Sixteen days ago, the 200-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) crossed below the 50-day EMA, signaling a bearish trend. This is known as a Death Cross, often seen as a negative signal in technical analysis. 

However, the recent recovery above $0.70 and sustained bullish momentum could see ADA rise above $0.80. Should this reversal happen before April begins, it would mark the shortest Death Cross in Cardano’s history. It would be a sharp contrast to the previous 56-day span from March to May 2020.

On the macro level, Cardano’s bullish momentum is supported by a variety of technical indicators, especially the Relative Strength Index (RSI). Currently above the neutral line at 50.0, the RSI is at a 7-week high, signaling growing investor confidence and increasing buying pressure. The RSI’s upward momentum highlights the market’s positive outlook on ADA, suggesting that Cardano is gaining traction after a period of relative stagnation.

With a strong RSI reading, ADA appears to be benefiting from a resurgence of investor interest, which may help sustain the altcoin’s price gains in the short term. If the bullish momentum continues, Cardano could potentially see significant price increases, pushing it toward new resistance levels and offering an opportunity for profitable trades.

ADA Price Needs To Escape This Zone

Cardano’s price is currently trading at $0.70, marking a 13% increase in the last 24 hours. If this bullish trend continues, ADA will likely encounter resistance around $0.77. Historically, the $0.70 to $0.77 range has been a consolidation zone. A successful breach of $0.77 would signal a further move towards $0.85. 

A breach of $0.77 would reinforce Cardano’s upward momentum, potentially driving its price even higher. Furthermore, a breakout above $0.80 would suggest that Cardano is ready to resume its longer-term bullish trend.

However, the bullish outlook will be invalidated if Cardano fails to maintain its current price levels. If ADA falls back below $0.70 and slips to $0.63, it could erase the recent gains and lead to further declines. In this case, the positive momentum would be considered short-lived, and the bearish trend could be reinforced.

The non-fungible token (NFT) sector experienced explosive growth in 2021. Artists, investors, and collectors were all swept up in the frenzy. Yet, its meteoric rise was followed by a downturn, prompting questions about the sector’s sustainability.

Alexander Salnikov, co-founder of Rarible, believes the market is not facing a collapse but rather a shift. In an exclusive interview with BeInCrypto, Salnikov offered his perspective on the state of NFTs in 2025 and their role moving forward.

Are NFTs Still Relevant in 2025, or Have They Run Their Course?

The rise of NFTs, fueled by excitement and speculation, was inevitable for a market experiencing such rapid innovation. Nonetheless, like many emerging technologies, this early surge was followed by a correction. The hype gave way to the realities of market maturation and sustainability.

According to the latest report by DappRadar, the art NFT market saw an impressive surge in 2021, with trading volumes reaching $2.9 billion. However, by the first quarter of 2025, the trading volume was recorded at just $23.8 million, marking a 93% decline.

Similarly, the number of active traders peaked at a record high of 529,101 in 2022. Yet, this figure sharply declined by 96%, with just 19,575 active traders remaining by Q1 2025. 

A previous industry report from DappRadar revealed that the underwhelming performance wasn’t just a trend in 2025. In fact, 2024 was one of the worst-performing years for the NFT market since 2020. In addition, BeInCrypto also reported on a study that revealed 98% of NFT projects launched in 2024 were essentially “dead.” 

Despite the decline, Rarible’s Salnikov has maintained a positive outlook for the sector. He emphasized the importance of a clear purpose when it comes to NFTs. 

“Once upon a time, after the .com burst, the headlines rang that the internet was only a fad. But as more companies integrated the technology into everyday use cases, it became ingrained as a part of life,” he told BeInCrypto.

Salnikov argued that trust quickly diminishes when NFTs are viewed merely as speculative assets. In contrast, projects rooted in real community engagement or providing tangible utility offer clear value, making their worth easily understood. 

Meanwhile, rather than viewing the sector’s decline as a collapse, the executive sees it as a market recalibration, with the focus shifting away from speculative hype toward projects with more sustainable value. 

“The speculative phase had its moment, but now we’re watching NFTs evolve into actual infrastructure—tools creators use to build communities, products, and new digital economies,” he said.

NFTs Beyond the Hype: Unlocking Real-World Utility 

Salnikov stressed that utility in the NFT space is no longer a distant concept—it is happening right now. Creators are using NFTs for membership, brands for loyalty programs, and games for player identity. 

He pointed to a growing convergence between the digital and physical worlds, with NFTs being tied to merchandise, events, and even real-world assets. Binance Research’s April 2025 report further corroborates this trend. 

The report spotlighted several real-world partnerships, indicating interest in NFTs. Examples include Azuki’s physical-backed NFT with Michael Lau, The Sandbox’s Jurassic World collaboration, EGGRYPTO’s anime characters with Eparida, and Sony’s Soneium platform partnering with LINE to create Web3 mini-apps.

“The next wave of growth isn’t about chasing a trend—it’s about unlocking new types of ownership and access that feel native to the internet generation,” noted Salnikov.

While this perspective offers optimism, the reality for many companies is quite different. Due to low trading volumes, major platforms like Bybit, X2Y2, and Kraken have resorted to discontinuing their NFT services. 

Those that didn’t shut down explored alternative avenues. For instance, Magic Eden expanded beyond NFTs with the acquisition of Slingshot. Nevertheless, Salnikov dismissed this strategy, commenting,

“We’re not trying to bolt on non-NFT features just to stay busy—we’re building NFT commerce that actually fits the communities using it.”

He explained that this approach uses modular, customizable on-chain marketplaces. Creators can tailor them to fit their specific audiences, whether it’s a gaming project, an L3, or a legacy brand.

“NFTs are the feature—they just need the right framing,” the Rarible co-founder stated.

When Fame Fades: The Diminishing Returns of Celebrity-Backed NFTs 

Going back, an interesting trend during the NFT hype era was the involvement of celebrities. High-profile figures like Justin Bieber, Madonna, and Neymar jumped on the bandwagon, attracting substantial attention to the sector. Nonetheless, their investment strategies haven’t fared particularly well.

In January 2022, Bieber spent 500 ETH (approximately $1.3 million at the time) on Bored Ape #3001. This NFT is from Yuga Labs’ Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) collection. 

However, according to the latest data, the NFT is worth only 13.51 WETH (around $24,174), a decline of 98.1%. Although the singer hasn’t sold his NFT, it has received little attention lately, with no promotional efforts or notable discussions around it.

Thus, while celebrities can bring attention to NFTs, this highlights the need for substance beyond the name itself. As Salnikov pointed out, celebrity involvement in the sector is fleeting. 

According to him, a celebrity name alone can’t replace genuine creative direction or a strong community.

“Celebrity drops will come and go—it’s the culture behind them that determines if they stick,” he remarked.

He argued that celebrities treating NFTs as mere merchandise deters audiences. Nevertheless, when an NFT drop is intentional and truly taps into something meaningful like music, fashion, or fandom, that’s where the lasting value is found.

“We’re way more interested in working with creators who are building for the long haul than just chasing headlines,” Salnikov disclosed to BeInCrypto.

The executive also outlined the need for a more accessible and user-friendly approach for attracting interested users. He detailed that onboarding users should not feel “like a tech demo.” Salnikov pointed to Rarible as an example. 

According to him, Rarible focuses on ensuring that each marketplace built on its platform is a product people genuinely want to use. This involves features such as fiat onramps, low-cost mints, a clean user interface, and, most importantly, content that resonates with users. 

“We’re not selling NFTs—we’re powering experiences that just happen to be onchain,” Salnikov concluded.

While the NFT market faces ongoing challenges, it remains to be seen whether the industry is entering a new phase of growth or if further obstacles lie ahead in its evolution.

As the broader crypto market begins to recover from recent lows, on-chain data reveals a growing behavioral divide between Bitcoin’s long-term and short-term holders.

Its Long-term holders (LTHs) have resumed net accumulation for the first time since the last local top, while short-term holders (STHs) appear to be exiting the market.

BTC LTHs Return to Accumulation as STHs Capitulate

In a new report, pseudonymous CryptoQuant analyst IT Tech noted that a clear behavioral divide has emerged between BTC’s LTHs and STHs, suggesting the early formation of a re-accumulation phase.

This is based on an assessment of BTC’s Net Position Change for Long-Term Holders (LTH), which, per the analyst, has now flipped positive for the first time since BTC’s last local peak.

“This suggests that experienced, conviction-driven participants are gradually returning to accumulation after several months of sustained distribution. Their activity often reflects strategic, cycle-aware repositioning, not necessarily whale-sized capital flows,” the analyst noted.

Meanwhile, BTC STHs—those who have held BTC for less than 155 days—are selling into weakness, with net outflows remaining firmly in negative territory. This trend suggests capitulation, as newer investors reduce their exposure to the coin in response to recent price troubles. 

IT Tech noted that this behavioral divergence “tends to signal early stages of a re-accumulation phase.”

“Suppose long-term participants continue increasing their positions while short-term supply gets flushed out. This setup may serve as a constructive base for future price recovery, even if short-term price action remains choppy,” the analyst said. 

Momentum Builds for Bitcoin as Buying Pressure Surges

On the daily chart, BTC’s positive Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) reflects increasing investor demand and positive cash flow momentum. This further reinforces the possibility of a bullish breakout as projected by the analyst. 

At press time, this momentum indicator, which measures how money flows into and out of an asset, is at 0.10. A positive CMF reading like this indicates that buying pressure outweighs selloffs among market participants and hints at an extended price growth for BTC. 

Moreover, the coin’s Aroon Up Line currently sits at 100%, reinforcing the strength of its ongoing uptrend.

An asset’s Aroon Indicator measures the strength and direction of a trend by tracking the time since the highest and lowest prices over a given period. It comprises two lines: Aroon Up, which measures bullish momentum, and Aroon Down, which tracks bearish pressure. 

As with BTC, when the Aroon Up line is at 100, it signals strong upward momentum and a dominant bullish trend. This suggests that buying pressure is high, and the price may continue rising.

BTC Bulls Eye New Highs

BTC now trades firmly above the key support formed at $91,851. If the bullish pressure holds and demand rockets, the king coin could continue its uptrend to exchange hands at $95,971.

However, if traders resume profit-taking, this bullish projection will be invalidated. In that scenario, BTC’s price could retest the support at $91,851. Should it fail to hold, its price could fall to reach $87,730.

Onyxcoin (XCN) experienced an impressive rally earlier this month but has struggled to recover from subsequent declines. Despite initial optimism, the altcoin has failed to regain its momentum, leaving XCN holders increasingly impatient. 

As the market sentiment turns uncertain, XCN enthusiasts are questioning the potential for a price uptrend.

Onyxcoin Investors Are Uncertain Of Returns

The current market sentiment for Onyxcoin is largely negative, as reflected in its funding rate. The negative funding rate indicates that more traders are betting against the coin by placing short contracts in the futures market. 

This growing dominance of short positions signals skepticism among investors, who are primarily aiming to profit from a potential price drop rather than expecting upward movement. The market is currently more inclined toward caution, and the lack of confidence in a price uptrend has led to increased bearish sentiment among traders.

Onyxcoin’s macro momentum also presents challenges for investors. The Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) indicator, which measures the volume-weighted average of accumulation and distribution, is currently in negative territory, signaling that outflows are still dominating the market. Although the CMF is slightly rising, it has not been able to sustain any meaningful upward movement. This continued dominance of outflows suggests that XCN is still struggling to maintain bullish momentum.

Until the CMF consistently rises above the zero line, the overall sentiment remains cautious. This inability to gain traction could hinder XCN’s potential to break past key resistance levels, leaving the altcoin vulnerable to further declines.

XCN Price Needs A Boost

XCN price is currently trading at $0.0186, showing a modest 11% increase over the last 24 hours. While the broader crypto market has experienced an uptick, XCN may struggle to hold above its support at $0.0182.

If the altcoin fails to maintain this level, a drop to $0.0150 is likely, marking a two-week low for the token. This would wipe out the recent gains and could trigger further selling as investors look to minimize their losses.

On the other hand, if XCN successfully secures $0.0182 as a support floor, it could signal a potential recovery. In this scenario, the altcoin might rise to $0.0237, invalidating the bearish outlook and providing an opportunity for further gains. However, this will require stronger investor confidence and broader market support.

Immutable (IMX) has emerged as the market’s top gainer over the past 24 hours, rallying more than 40% as bullish sentiment strengthens across the crypto market. 

The surge comes as Bitcoin (BTC) reclaims the key psychological level of $90,000, fueling a broader market rebound that has lifted several altcoins.

IMX Surges 41% to 27-Day High

IMX currently trades at a 27-day high of $0.65, noting a 41% price hike over the past day. During the same period, its trading volume recorded a surge of 761%, confirming the uptick in IMX’s trading activity.

When an asset’s price and trading volume rise simultaneously, it signals strong market interest and increased buying pressure. The combination confirms the strength of IMX’s bullish trend, as more traders are entering positions at higher prices. This indicates the potential for continued upward momentum.

On the daily chart, IMX trades above its 20-day exponential moving average (EMA), highlighting the bullish bias among its spot market participants. This key moving average measures an asset’s average trading price over the past 20 trading days, giving more weight to recent prices. 

When an asset’s price climbs above this level, it suggests a shift toward short-term bullish momentum. This crossover confirms that IMX buyers are gaining control, and the asset is entering an uptrend. 

Further, readings from the token’s Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) support this bullish outlook. At press time, the MACD line (blue) rests above the signal (yellow) and zero lines.

An asset’s MACD indicator identifies trends and momentum in its price movement. It helps traders spot potential buy or sell signals through crossovers between the MACD and signal lines. 

When the MACD line rests above the signal line, buying activity dominates the market. For IMX, this setup reinforces the recent price surge and suggests that upward pressure may continue as traders build confidence in the asset’s short-term trajectory.

IMX Bulls in Control: Rally Could Extend to $0.87

IMX’s Balance of Power (BoP) currently rests above zero at 0.54, signaling that buyers control the market. A BoP reading above zero reflects strong accumulation, indicating demand outweighs selling pressure. 

This reading supports the broader bullish outlook for IMX, suggesting that the recent price rally is backed by sustained investor interest. In this case, IMX could extend its rally to $0.79. 

However, if traders begin profit-taking, IMX could reverse its current uptrend and fall to $0.34.
