Why is Decred up more than 15% today?

 


The broader crypto market is currently underperforming, but Decred is steadily recovering.


The broader cryptocurrency market has been struggling for the past few days, and the bearish trend could continue for the rest of the day. The market has lost more than 4% of its value in the last 24 hours.


Currently, the total cryptocurrency market cap has fallen to the $1.8 trillion level. If the bearish trend continues, the total crypto market cap could drop to the $1.7 trillion level before the end of the week.


Bitcoin and Ether, the two leading cryptocurrencies by market cap, have lost more than 3% of their value in the last 24 hours. Bitcoin has slipped below the psychological $40,000 level, while Ether is trading below $3,000 for the first time in weeks.


However, DCR, the Decred ecosystem's native token, is up more than 18% in the last 24 hours. This makes it the best performer among the top 100 cryptocurrencies by market cap.


There is no clear trigger for DCR's ongoing rally as the broader market is currently underperforming.


Important levels at a glance

The DCR/USDT 4 hour chart is bullish as the coin has outperformed the market for the past 24 hours. However, technical indicators show that a turnaround may be due if the broader market continues its current bearish trajectory.


The MACD line is above the neutral zone, indicating bullish momentum. The 14-day RSI of 66 shows that DCR could enter overbought territory if it finds support from the broader market.




At the time of writing, DCR is trading at $67.2 per coin. If current momentum holds, DCR could surpass $70 before the end of the day. However, it would need the support of the broader market to reach $75 in the coming hours and days.


DCR could break below the first major support level of $63.4 if the broader market remains bearish. However, it should be able to defend the second major support level at $59 in the next few hours.

From offchain to offchain: Statechains meets Lightning

  Without a doubt, the most significant off-chain Bitcoin solution is the Lightning network. But in its wake, the statechain has emerged as an intriguing replacement. There is currently a proposal to link the two offchain networks. From an ocean, for example, you can see sunbeams glistening in the water, waves rippling, and possibly a jellyfish drifting toward the light. But you only see a small portion of it. The distance from the sea's surface to its bottom is hundreds of meters. It has dozens of different fish species swimming in it, crabs and starfish crawling on the bottom, shells clinging to rocks, and sea plants climbing up. A completely new world starts where your gaze diverges. You can picture a blockchain like Bitcoin, just like the sea. What you see on the outside is only a small portion of what is actually there; the set of UTXOs (coins) and transaction history that full nodes store are just the beginning of a much larger world. It's the plan, at least. With Bitcoin...

Phishing attack on popular crypto sites tries to empty wallets

  Several major crypto sites such as Etherscan, CoinGecko, DeFi Pulse, and others report malicious pop-ups scammers use to try to trick users into connecting their MetaMask wallets. The phishing attack came from a domain displaying the Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) logo. "We are investigating the root cause of this attack to fix the threat as soon as possible," CoinGecko founder Bobby Ong tweeted. The phishing attack appears to have been triggered by a malicious ad script from Coinzilla, a crypto ad network, according to CoinGecko. Etherscan also advises its users not to confirm any transactions that may appear on the website. The attackers attempted to use the hype around the “bored monkeys” non-fungible tokens (NFT) to gain access to the cryptocurrencies of unsuspecting website visitors. Although the websites affected by the scam attempt have reacted in the last few hours and deactivated the advertising pop-up, it is still recommended not to connect your MetaMask wallet to ne...

Bored Ape Yacht Club NFTs stolen through phishing on Instagram

  Bored Ape Yacht Club ( BAYC ) developers announced on Monday that hackers have hijacked the official Instagram page of the popular NFT collection and posted links to a fake airdrop. Crypto enthusiasts who connected their MetaMask wallet to the rogue website subsequently had their Ape NFTs stolen. Apparently, the attack was planned to coincide with the one-year anniversary of the BAYC collection. This increased the "perceived credibility" of the phishing link. About 100 NFTs are said to have been stolen in the phishing attack . According to CoinGecko data , the minimum price for a BAYC NFT is 139 Ether ( ETH ) or $400,726. So if reports are correct, over $40 million worth of NFTs were stolen in the attack. These numbers are only the lowest estimate, however, as they are based on the lowest price.  At the time of writing, it was still unclear how the hackers gained access to BAYC's official Instagram account. Social media users have pointed out the importance of two-fact...
