Litecoin 'head fake' rally? LTC price technicals hint at 65% crash

Image
LTC price could drop alongside riskier assets as macro analysts sound a bull trap alarm over this potential "head fake" recovery. Litecoin (LTC) has rebounded by 130% to almost $100 after bottoming out near $40.50 in June 2022. The primary reasons include broadly improving risk-on sentiment and euphoria around the Litecoin halving in August 2023. However, technicals suggest that LTC may wipe out most of these gains in the coming months. LTC price paints giant bear flag  Litecoin stands to pare its gains mainly due to a giant bear flag on the weekly char.  A bear flag is a bearish continuation pattern that occurs when the price consolidates inside an ascending, parallel channel after undergoing a strong downtrend. It resolves after the price breaks below its lower trendline with a rise in trading volumes Litecoin has been painting a similar pattern since early June 2022. Previously, the LTC/USD pair had undergone a 70% price correction from $130 to $40.50. Thus, from the tec

Casual gamers a ‘critical’ audience for blockchain games: GameFi execs

Image
Many casual gamers are still reluctant to play games that use blockchain tech, but gaming execs believe one good game could change that. The casual gaming market will remain a crucial audience for blockchain games and nonfungible tokens (NFTs) in gaming, according to three blockchain gaming company co-founders.  Casual gamers, people who play games somewhat regularly but rarely invest significant time, make up the largest segment of players in the gaming industry. Kieran Warwick, co-founder of blockchain role-playing game Illuvium called casual gamers "critical" because of the sheer number of them in the population. There are more than 3 billion gamers worldwide as of 2023, and it's estimated that at least 1.95 billion are casual gamers, according to Exploding Topics.

Cryptocurrency Exchange Gemini to Lay Off 10% of Workforce – Here’s What Happened

Image
Image Source: Shutterstock New York-based crypto currency exchange Gemini is letting go of 10% of its workforce amid the ongoing bear market that has seen around $2 trillion wiped out of the crypto market.  This marks the third round of layoffs at the crypto exchange in the past eight months, the Information reported on Monday, citing an internal message from Gemini co-founder and CEO Cameron Winklevoss. He reportedly said: “It was our hope to avoid further reductions after this summer, however, persistent negative macroeconomic conditions and unprecedented fraud perpetuated by bad actors in our industry have left us with no other choice but to revise our outlook and further reduce headcount.” Data by PitchBook shows that Gemini had 1,000 employees as of November 2022, implying around 100 people lost their jobs. TechCrunch reported that Gemini had previously trimmed its headcount by 7% in July 2022, following a 10% staff a month earlier. The latest layoff comes ami

STEPN Price Prediction as GMT Pumps 20% in One Day, Bulls Target Break Above This Key Level

Image
Join Our Telegram channel to stay up to date on breaking news coverage GMT, the crypto token that powers STEPN’s web3 fitness ecosystem and application, was last trading close to 20% higher on Monday, despite a lack of any obvious fundamental catalysts to explain the upside. Amid the broad rally in cryptocurrencies since the start of the year, unpredictable upside bursts in altcoins such as GMT have become more commonplace – a sign that risk appetite is returning to the market. GMT/USD was last changing hands just under $0.60 per token, having been as high as the $0.66s earlier in the session. The crypto token was able to briefly break to the north of its 200-Day Moving Average (at $0.0595), but has since fallen back to trade pretty much in line with it. Where Next For GMT? GMT’s pullback from earlier highs was likely triggered by profit-taking by short-term bullish speculators ahead of a test of the November highs at $0.68. If the broader crypto rally continues this week, wh
