This technical design leans bearish, and a breach of the lesser trend line forecasts an 18% fall to $2.29, determined by calculating the space between the first swing high and low and adding to the escape point.

Though, this crash will not be an instant change lesser due to the occurrence of many support levels. The falling prices will meet the $2.47 demand barrier, breaching which will drive Cardano price down to $2.38. Whereas the selling pressure is probably too exhaustive here, investors must expect a retest of the $2.29.

If ADA stays above the lower trend line of the increasing wedge, the bulls have nothing to panic about. If the higher limit of the technical pattern is breached, it will specify a renaissance of purchasers. But, the bearish thesis will face overthrow simply after ADA sets up a different all-time high above $3.11.

In history, September has been one of the more dreary months for BTC. A look at the monthly price statistics since 2013 discloses that the token has sent optimistic gains in September two times in eight years — in 2015 and 2016 — with an extreme of 6%, which could be measured to be nearly flat.

Pete Humiston, manager of Kraken Intelligence — the research division of the Kraken exchange — said about what this tendency can mean for this year:

“September is historically Bitcoin’s worst-performing month. That said, it has been verging on $50,000 for the past three weeks or so now. Should Bitcoin stage a breakout above this psychologically significant milestone, it could renew investor interest and spark the momentum needed to carry it all the way back to $60,000.”

Ethereum, the world’s second-largest digital currency, saw a solid bullish rally on Friday later ETH moved the price level of $3,980, the peak level since May 2021. Ethereum is presently looking at its all-time high of $4,170.

“ETH is surging today and looks close to breaching the $4,000 level. This rally takes it closer to ETH’s all-time high of $4,177 set in mid-May this year. Often, other than general market sentiment, it can be hard to identify why a particular asset is rising in value, as momentum can carry values higher. But in the case of ether (ETH) right now, a number of factors are creating significant upward pressure on the price of the coin. Firstly, the number of transactions happening on the Ethereum network is increasing again, but perhaps more significantly the gas being used on the network is near all-time highs,”

While going on a tour of the MalaMala Game Reserve, Jonty Bozas recorded a video in which buffalo attacks lions, that went viral on the internet.

Bozas stated,

“The bulk of the herd had moved off by the time the lions managed to single out a buffalo bull but when they heard their fellow buffalo bellowing for help they came to the rescue,”

He further added,

“The lions were not impressed by being chased off and tried to regroup and rally together to get another buffalo down.”

“We had spotted the herd of buffalo the evening before and had seen the lions trailing them. We decided to go out on morning safari super early the following morning and luckily we did as it took us a while to find the herd and lions again,” stated Bozas.

He additionally stated that nine lions were attacking the buffalo for four hours.

“During the morning that was the second time that they had managed to get on the back of a buffalo. There was a little bit more chasing done by the buffalo and the lions ended up lying up in a dry river bed before the herd continued to move in the opposite direction,” Bozas concluded.

The lion joined the arrogance later which came under attack.

Lions are not bold as they are known as “King of the Jungle”.

Animals with thick skin, such as rhinoceros and elephants, can be dangerous to them. Fails, with their lethal horns, are also terrible opponents for cats.

But it did not seem to be affecting all users. Few seemed to be capable to load and interact with their news feed as usual – and it is not clear what permitted them to get around the problems.

Facebook, in a statement, stated that it was alert of the problems with Instagram. “We’re working to get things back to normal as quickly as possible and we apologize for any inconvenience,”

Down Detector said that the problem could be with the company’s servers, and the same problems possibly are faced by WhatsApp and Facebook.

Mark Zuckerberg and Facebook management have been observing to more carefully connect its three messaging platforms, with the expectation of letting them all be powered by the same backend.

Users would be able to communicate between the three apps in this way. However, critics have pointed out that it would make any regulatory split difficult or impossible – and that issues with one of Facebook’s services tend to spread to others.

“I am not a ‘big fan’ of cryptocurrencies”, Donald Trump

Donald Trump

Ex-President Donald Trump expressed his dislike for cryptocurrencies in an interview on Tuesday. Trump stated in an interview that “I have not been a big fan of cryptos,”

Whereas the interview focused mostly on Trump’s response to America’s Afghanistan departure, he didn’t slip a chance to share his opinions on the vastly unstable digital asset.

The worth of BTC fell in June after Donald Trump called it a “scam.”

His comments arise just days later hedge fund star John Paulson criticized Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies as basically “worthless.”

The former president’s son and an executive vice president in the family company, Eric Trump, In meantime highlighted his father’s derision for digital currency.

Eric Trump stated, “Typically we have gravitated to tangible assets — something one can see and touch, that has replacement cost, that’s unique, iconic.”

The price of Bitcoin has jumped in recent weeks, even after being criticized.

The previous month the price of Bitcoin fell below $30,000 but has been increasingly rising to $47,000 later that point. In the last year alone, the disreputably unstable Bitcoin dropped from around $10,000 in October to more than $60,000 at one point in April.

Crypto prices can simply be prejudiced by remarks and tweets from the likes of Tesla CEO Elon Musk — who at several points recognized bitcoin as payment for Teslas.

Billionaire investor Mark Cuban also has a past of affecting the price of cryptocurrencies with his tweets — Dogecoin rushed after he publicized he would agree to take it as payment for several products he sells as part of his Dallas Mavericks franchise.

Cardano is up against a stumbling block on his way to new all-time highs

Cardano

Cardano (ADA) increases almost 3% ever since the starting of the regular trading session as a novel tendency of volatility has hit the crypto market.

Cardano looks to have come in an alliance period after rushing to a new all-time high of $2.98 on Aug. 23. Since then, it’s been creating a series of higher lows, whereas the $2.98 resistance level has disallowed it from progressing further.

A surge in purchasing pressure around the present price levels might have the strong point to push Cardano outside the above resistance at $2.98. In this case, ADA might advance by closely 16.3% to make a new all-time high of $3.43.

Transaction history demonstrates that if the demand fence that spreads from $2.74 to $2.82 holds, the chances will favor the bulls.

Still, the third-largest cryptocurrency by market cap wants to carry on trading above the $2.74 to $2.82 range to avoid 91,500 addresses from selling the 2.4 billion ADA they acquired around this price level.

Breaking through this critical demand barrier may prompt investors to sell their positions in order to avoid seeing their investments go “out of the money.” Instead, a sell-off might result in a 16.3 percent drop, pushing Cardano to $2.40.
