South Korea recovers from martial law and XRP, BTC flash crashes

Image
Assets listed on South Korean exchanges, including cryptocurrencies like bitcoin (BTC) and XRP, tanked on Tuesday night after President Yoon Suk Yeol declared martial law for the first time since 1979. Traditional assets like equities, along with the Korean won (KRW), also cratered as tanks rolled down the streets of Seoul to protect government buildings. As the KRW crashed to its weakest exchange rate against the dollar in 15 years, Seoul-based crypto exchanges Upbit and Bithumb struggled to remain operational. Outages affected users intermittently throughout the evening. Trading volumes in BTC and XRP surged as prices collapsed, sending BTC tumbling 33% intraday on Upbit’s KRW-denominated trading pair. XRP, the most popular asset traded on Upbit and Bithumb this week, fell an almost unbelievable 56% within 30 minutes on KRW pairs. One-minute chart of BTC/KRW on Upbit.

Justin Sun-advised HTX has redeemed 7,300 WBTC it did not disclose

HTX, the Justin Sun-advised crypto exchange, has been rapidly redeeming massive quantities of wrapped bitcoin (WBTC). This started on November 24 with HTX redeeming approximately 5,182 bitcoins and has continued with the additional redemption of 2,166 bitcoins on December 1. Both of these transactions were unusual to observe, given that WBTC has no 24-hour volume on HTX.  Additionally, there is no WBTC included in the proof-of-reserves for HTX.  Furthermore, neither of the two bitcoin addresses that these redemptions largely ended up in, 1Fgpaz4kXyz35WKMGk2Yo19mR9pk3KC8zx and 1Apv2EuoHyCpKsxdFEPv5GSddqDMt3bTN6, are included in the proof-of-reserves.

Cardano (ADA) could crash 20% warns expert

Image
Altcoin season seems to be in full swing — while Bitcoin (BTC) has struggled to breach the $100,000 price point and retreated to $95,546, as of press time, cryptocurrencies with smaller market caps have not faced similar headwinds. In this environment, many traders divert their attention, choosing instead to focus on either altcoins or meme coins. This is a valid strategy — but several of the more established altcoins are showing strong technical signals as we enter into December. Potentially, this could lead to a best-of-both-worlds scenario — netting investors outsized gains without the large degree of volatility often seen with as-of-yet unproven assets. One such cryptocurrency is Cardano (ADA). Although it had been on a steady downtrend from March, the beginning of November saw prices go parabolic with the token breaking back into the top 10.  Picks for you ...

Tezos Price Surges Along The Parabolic Curve Line The XTZ/USD pair is trading at $1.6358, reflecting a slight decline of -2.41% in the last session. The price shows strong bullish momentum, forming a parabolic upward trend. However, such movements often signal overextension and can be followed by sharp corrections. A key support level of around $1.20 has previously been a solid price floor. If a pullback occurs before the asset resumes its upward trajectory, this level might be revisited. XTZUSD Analysis Source: Dextools.io The 50-period moving average (at $1.2935) is a dynamic support level, reinforcing the bullish sentiment in the short term. Meanwhile, the 200-period moving average (at $0.8880) reflects long-term support, with the wide gap between the two moving averages confirming the strength of the uptrend. Tezos Price Indicators ...
