DASH AND MONERO RALLY WHILE IOTA IS PEAKING NOVEMBER 23 TECH ANALYSIS 176

As perfect BTC alternatives, DASH and Monero are rallying perhaps benefiting from capital injection.

Alt coin Monero is actually trending above August highs of $153. If bulls push harder, buyers looks likely to jump in.

In the meantime, IOTA is peaking and USD bulls are driving prices lower with first targets at $0.732.

Let’s look at the charts:

TODAY FOCUS: DASH AND MONERO RALLY

 

ALT COIN DASH BULLISH BUT STRONG RESISTANCE EXPECTED AT $582

DASHUSD 4HR Chart for November 23, 2017

One thing is clear, DASH bulls are in charge. As a result, it is safe to say that every dip is a buy opportunity.

Because of that, we shall shift our support lines to November 12 and 18 highs of $540 and $486 respectively. At the moment though, bullish momentum is strong because of that band divergence and of course the bullish stochastic signal.

We already have a bearish candlestick dropping from yesterday’s highs of $582. If there is a follow through, then we wait for a retest of $540 support line.

However, if not, $670 is the next bull target especially if November 22 highs is cleared.

MONERO BULLS DRIVE PRICES ABOVE AUGUST HIGHS OF $153

XMRUSD 4HR Chart for November 23, 2017

Bull momentum is strong and as it now, August highs of $153 has been cleared. Because of the general bullish momentum in the weekly chart, traders were taking long positions only. Bull projection will be null after Monero prices trickle down strongly from recent highs and below $153.

Currently, that has not been then case and if Monero bulls prevents depreciation below $153, then that should be bullish going forward.

However, any dip towards the 20 period MA or the support trend line with complementing stochastic buys present a wonderful opportunity to go long.

How other alt coins are performingALT COIN IOTA PEAKING, USD BULLS TARGETING $0.732

IOTUSD 4HR Chart for November 23, 2017

IOTA appreciation has been spectacular and profitable. Investors are up 300% from their initial investment of $0.25 but now, prices are cooling down.

We had that bearish divergence which hinted of a possible slow down on November 20 that’s when price action close above $0.90 resistance line and tested $0.98.

From there on, IOTA is crumbling as we can see. USD bulls are now below the 20 period MA with a stochastic sell signal.

After close of this candlestick and if prices remain below the 20 period MA, sellers should ramp up their position while aiming at November 21 lows of $0.732.

$34 SUPPORT REBUFF USD BULLS

NEOUSD 4HR Chart for November 23, 2017

For NEO bears to proceed, they must close below $34 support. It didn’t happen yesterday and in fact prices bounced back with a stochastic buy signal.

Traders should be trading this as a bullish break out after that strong candlestick on November 17 and a retest of resistance now support trend line of November 22.

In light of this, NEO bulls should initiate long positions with stop losses below $34 and aim for immediate resistance at $45.

$0.22 REMAINS A RELEVANT RESISTANCE LINE FOR NEM BULLS

NEMUSD 4HR Chart for November 23, 2017

Even if the general trend in the weekly chart is bullish, it has not been the same in the 4HR chart thus far.

From the charts, NEM prices is oscillating within a $0.04 range since early October safe for that dip and a bull break out in the first two weeks of November.

For now, we wait until a stochastic buy signal is shows probably at main support zone at around $0.18.

Because of that break below the 20 period MA, USD bulls should sell with a stop loss just above $0.209.

Hector Network launches its NFT marketplace ‘Atlantica’ on Fantom 3898

Atlantica, a new NFT marketplace project by Hector Network that aims to be “the marketplace of the future for Web3,” launched on Jan. 19.

At the start of 2022, Atlantica’s entry into the market was confirmed with the announcement of two major initiatives: the confirmed interest in the nonfungible token (NFT) space and the development of the necessary infrastructure to support and further expand the NFT market on all fronts. Atlantica’s plans are backed with all the base components that facilitate the baseline standards of the NFT Space — marketplace, launchpad and Atlantica’s very-own NFT collections.

Through the team efforts, the project has reached a significant milestone: the successful initial public release and fine-tuning schedule of their various sub-projects. These developments position Atlantica as a dependable servicer in the NFT Industry. Hector Network (learn more about Hector Network’s ecosystem and roadmap here: https://hector.network/#) is well-positioned to continue growing and expanding out Atlantica. The protocol is confident in its ability to deliver on its promises and bring the wonders of NFTs to a wider audience. Its innovative approaches and understanding of the NFT market dynamics set it apart from the competition, making it an up-and-coming project to keep an eye on.

Here is a brief snapshot of what Atlantica is:

NFT marketplace

Two components of Atlantica’s marketplace are its cross-chain compatibility and working alongside NFT solutions, making it the one-stop-shop with all the advantages each blockchain provides. Initially, the platform will feature well-established brands from the Fantom network NFT space. It will only be live on the Fantom chain, which is an incredibly efficient network with virtually zero fees, instant finality and a growing community.

The plan is to expand to other chains in Q1 and Q2 2023 to make Atlantica the marketplace of the future.

NFT launchpad

The Atlantica NFT launchpad will be dedicated to onboarding emerging and established creators who meet the highest quality standards our users expect. We offer a range of business-to-creator solutions that empower NFT creators to monetize their work effectively, giving them the tools and support they need to succeed in our platform. We are committed to following through with our creators to ensure their success on Atlantica and in their communities.

Fully-owned NFT collection(s)

Atlantica’s fully-owned NFT collection(s) are utility-focused ecosystem cards offering unique benefits within and outside the crypto world. These collections feature premium perk unlocks that enhance the user’s experience and engagement within our ecosystem. These platform-representing NFTs provide more than just the opportunity to collect digital items; they also offer access to exclusive virtual events, discounts and special deals, opening up a new realm of possibilities. You can learn more about the first collection, Mythos, here: https://twitter.com/Mythos_HEC.

An effective NFT facilitator plays a crucial role in displaying a wide range of options and matching the right products with the appropriate users. The success of these purposes relies heavily on the specific NFTs that the protocol chooses to offer. In the case of Atlantica, its target audiences are those that find value in the variety of collections and projects showcased, which are known for their quality and user confidence in mind. By providing a comprehensive and curated selection of NFTs, Atlantica will enable users to easily find and access digital assets they desire.

Atlantica will host and list collections of any form while keeping a close eye on digital assets with high utility, such as NFTs for play-to-earn games, collectible items/trading cards, NFTs with real-life use cases, music and media, virtual fashion, real-world assets, domain names and digital artworks from the best artists and projects.

Here is a recap shared by the team of the features that are live as of Jan. 19:

Features in the marketplace, Jan. 19, 2023:

  • User profile creation
  • Facilitation of ERC-721 and ERC-1155 NFTs
  • Buy/sell/auction/make offers
  • Publish NFT collection(s) and NFT(s)
  • Favorite/follow system

Atlantica’s launch is a significant milestone for Hector Network and its expanding ecosystem, but this is just a starting point. Many upgrades are due in the next weeks and months, including potentially new utility for the Hector Network (HEC) token and TOR stablecoin — both issued by Hector Network — to make Atlantica the marketplace that everyone, from users to creators, always dreamed of.

Native launches invisible DEX layer for crypto 4556

Native today announced the launch of its project-owned DEX layer for crypto.

Native created this technology because the crypto ecosystem has become too reliant on exchanges and market makers. Exchanges stand between users and projects, extracting fees and adding friction. Market makers operate in the shadows and few understand how they work. This needs to change. Crypto needs to become user-centric to scale to 1 billion users. That’s why Native exists.

Native’s technology empowers any project to become their own decentralized exchange (DEX). The protocol’s unique architecture pairs the on-chain transparency and security of a decentralized exchange with the efficiency of a centralized exchange. This solves an important problem for cryptocurrency, disintermediating 3rd-party exchanges and giving individual applications full control over their user journey and liquidity. For more information, see Native’s launch announcement on Medium.

Native is committed to building a community of projects and users who together bring crypto to a mainstream audience. Native’s DEX layer makes the swap experience frictionless and user-friendly.

The team has already announced a technology partnership with Ankr, the leading blockchain infrastructure provider, and a long-term campaign partnership with Galxe, the leading Web3 credential data network. Stay tuned for additional collaborative ventures ahead.

This acquisition will combine two leaders in the digital asset accounting space and establish TaxBit’s New York office presence.

TaxBit co-founder and CEO Austin Woodward commented, “2022 demonstrated that there is a massive problem in the digital asset space with regards to credible accounting. TaxBit historically focused on top-of-market Enterprises, but it became evident that businesses of all sizes accepting, trading, or holding digital assets are in need of automated accounting solutions. As we got to know Tactic, it was clear that their world-class technical team, products, and culture perfectly align with what we are building and how we operate at TaxBit. We are excited to welcome their team onboard, and together continue building a turnkey solution for digital asset accounting.”

Tactic will augment TaxBit’s existing Corporate Accounting Suite (CAS) offering. The full integration of Tactic’s software and team with TaxBit will take place over the coming months.

The acquisition comes on the heels of major turmoil for digital asset markets. Recent crypto market events have highlighted the mission-critical need for transparency, especially in the form of auditable and verifiable accounting. As regulations evolve and as scrutiny increases, TaxBit can help restore investor trust with innovative and compliant solutions for tracking, processing, and reporting transactions.

Tactic co-founder and CEO Ann Jaskiw added, “As transparency and efficiency become the largest issues for businesses working in or entering the crypto sphere, we aspire to provide the definitive toolset for the industry. Austin and I share similar stories, being founders at the forefront of innovation and first movers in a fast-evolving industry. The team is thrilled to continue Tactic’s journey of product innovation and to establish our collective team as the go-to provider for digital asset accounting.”

The financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.

EtherMail’s Web3 Email Solution Enabled Streamlined Voting for Decrypt Studios’ First Annual Crypties Awards 4759

EtherMail, the first Web3 email solution setting the standard for anonymous and encrypted wallet-to-wallet communication, facilitated Web3 voting for Decrypt Studios’ inaugural Crypties Awards 2022.

Launched by Decrypt Studios, the Web3 production studio, The Crypties are the crypto industry’s preeminent annual awards initiative, showcasing the standout achievements of Web3 innovators. A decentralized token-gated voting system for the inaugural awards, held at Art Basel Miami in November 2022, was open to the public with a number of nominees across nine categories such as NFT Project of the Year, DAO of the Year, and more.

EtherMail enabled Decrypt Studios to engage members of the community and distribute the Crypties voting NFT to voters, providing a seamless voting mechanism for the community to participate in selecting the winners of the Crypties Awards. Through this integration, Crypties voters will also now be able to receive future updates about the Crypties directly into their EtherMail inbox, driven by token-gated dynamic mailing lists. Thanks to EtherMail, Decrypt Studios received over 64,000 sign-ups with a 40% vote cast rate by airdropping NFTs to their community.

To vote for The Crypties, members simply had to create an EtherMail account, after which they received a welcome email inviting them to cast their vote on The Crypties voting platform. The user’s voting token was airdropped to the crypto wallet associated with their account, which granted them exclusive access to the voting process. Once the vote was registered, the user’s voting token was burned and replaced with an ‘I Voted’ NFT.

EtherMail is the only tool in the Web3 space that allows Web3 companies to send rich, relevant content directly to their asset holders based on up-to-the-minute information. By leveraging EtherMail, companies always have an up-to-date registry of their entire set of asset holders, and can create customized email and automated communication streams. Included in EtherMail’s future pipeline will be the introduction of its native utility token, $EMT, an ERC-20 token based on the Ethereum network. EMT will be a first-of-its-kind incentivization mechanism designed to reward email users for their time and attention reading unsolicited emails, creating a much-needed framework for email economics.

Shant Kevonian, CEO and Founder of EtherMail, said: “Given how often tokens and NFTs are bought and sold across the Web3 ecosystem, it has been impossible for projects to maintain direct contact with current holders of their assets. The key word is ‘current’. Keeping pace with the ever-changing pool of holders requires consensual self-updating mailing lists based on real-time, blockchain-synced data. This is precisely what we’ve developed, a Web3 email solution tailored to the needs of Web3 projects. We’re delighted to have worked alongside Decrypt Studios, a true industry heavyweight at the cutting edge of Web3 innovation.”

Joshua Roth, VP of Development at Decrypt Studios, said: “The EtherMail and Crypties ‘Get Out the Vote’ campaign proved the power of EtherMail as a customer engagement, awareness, and information distribution tool. Not only were we able to reach a wide audience of new users, but the product’s flexibility allowed us to define our parameters of voting and provide great ease of use for our voters.”
