Cardano course threatens to crash – Was the Vasil hard fork just hot air for ADA?

 


After the long-awaited Vasil upgrade from Cardano ( ADA ) recently went live, the smart contract platform can now look forward to better scalability and more cost efficiency. Nevertheless, there has been no big boost for the cryptocurrency price so far.


A lot of noise about nothing?

Since the update on September 22nd, the Cardano price has even collapsed by a whopping 9.5% and is therefore only 0.43 US dollars on September 26th. ADA's decline is accompanied by a rejection pattern on the daily chart, which is confirmed by a brief bounce to $0.48 on the day of the hard fork, followed by a sharp correction lower.


The lack of tailwind from the bulls following the Vasil upgrade is comparable to the weak developments following the much-hyped Ethereum ( ETH ) merge a few days ago.


In other words: Cardano also seems to have followed the motto “buy the rumor, sell the news”. Accordingly, the anticipation and price speculation in anticipation of the upgrade was apparently greater than the actual confidence in the improvements.


In addition, the macroeconomic conditions are creating further pressure, because the interest rate hike by the US central bank is of course also making life difficult for ADA.


The timing was extremely bad, as the central bank had announced its hike of another 0.75% just 48 hours before the update. Similar to other risky investment products, the Cardano course then also went down steeply.


The correlation between ADA and the stock market has been correspondingly high throughout the year. The correlation coefficient between the Cardano price and the Nasdaq Composite stock index shows a whopping 0.83 points on September 26th.


Will the big crash come after the upgrade?

Meanwhile, in technical analysis, the price is forming a descending triangle, which could indicate further losses.


Typically, a descending triangle in a downtrend acts as a continuation, meaning that a breakout to the downside would continue the descent all the more. It can be assumed that such a crash will have approximately the value of the maximum height of the triangle.

Thus, a break below the triangle support at $0.41 could see Cardano price plummet towards $0.25. In the worst-case scenario, ADA faces a 40% slump by the end of the year. The joy about the successful upgrade could become a boomerang for the price development, at least in the short term.

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...
