Ukraine

Why Cardano is Sinking TodayWhy would Russia's move have such a big impact on cryptocurrencies? It boils down to risk. When investors believe that their money is at greater risk, they're more likely to shift funds into safer assets. Such "risk-off" scenarios have hurt growth stocks in the past. Now it's happening again, with cryptocurrencies also being pulled down. The only cryptocurrencies that are largely immune to risk-off downswings are stablecoins pegged to fiat currencies. However, Cardano, Chainlink, Cronos, and Polkadot are not stablecoins. Any geopolitical crisis could cause a risk-off market. The current situation is arguably worse because cryptocurrency prices were already slumping. It's important to note, though, that the long-term prospects for Cardano, Chainlink, Cronos, and Polkadot shouldn't change as a result of the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Each of the four cryptocurrencies offers advantages that won't be diminished whatsoever. Cardano launched smart contracts on its network last year, a move that makes it more competitive with Ethereum. Chainlink allows real-world data to be brought into any blockchain. Cronos is the native token of the popular Crypto.com exchange (and until recently was known as Crypto.com Coin). Polkadot provides a great foundation for Web3 apps.

DXY Health Currently the dxy has been going on a crazy run , especially over the last two weeks with the announcement of and speculation of war within Europe ! The DXY is something you must not under estimate, especially in times like these, however i believe the dollar will not withstand this conflict and will finally face a downtrend. Ive used 3 different schools of teaching (ICT / PHANTOM , COTTON and CC) to come to this conclusion and ive also looked over certain fundamental aspects with a fine tooth pick , they all point to one location The timing is nothing short of ironic either and it seems as though it is the perfect bull trap , here is why : * Inflation is 7.5% for January 2022 , the highest it has been in years *In many examples , war leads to inflation as money has to keep printing . This leads to loss of people’s savings, rise in uncertainty and loss of confidence in the financial system. In the US civil war, the Confederacy struggled financially to meet the cost of the war. Therefore, they started printing money to pay soldiers salaries. But, as they printed money, the value of money soon declined. While this is an old example , its still a valid example of how inflation may turn up the heat *Key natural resources , like Oil and Gold , go through crazy run-ups during and before war ... governments struggle to keep up with the cost of these assets and the money printer must in-turn speed up to cover the cost of war. Currently we've seen Gold run up 5.53% and Oil is up 52.4% since the beginning of the year which is a clear indication that people favor assets rather than savings account during times like these. I doubt these run-ups will stop any time soon and the pressure will be applied by most industries within the US that rely on energy and computing services *War is expensive and effects all sides of society including the side of politics , Biden and his cabinet's approach to this conflict WILL strongly effect his already failing approval rating . The government is the embodiment of tax payers dollars and i dont think tax payers will be pleased when they see inflation sawing and lack of resources available due to the miss handling of conflicts . Less trust in the government = less trust in the dollar While allot of my thoughts may be seen as speculative , they are all BASED and reasoned Ultimately the coming days will decide the fate of Ukraine however the fate of DXY is seemingly set in stone , regardless of the events that may play out !

Yen rises as Russia launches invasionHopes that diplomatic moves could avert a Russian invasion of Ukraine were shattered early Thursday, as Russia launched a full-scale attack. The move was not all that surprising, given the massive Russian buildup on the border with Ukraine during the past few weeks. Still, the fighting in the heart of Europe has weighed heavily on the financial markets, as risk appetite has fallen sharply. The safe-haven Japanese yen has gained ground and is trading at 3-week highs. Western leaders have strongly condemned the Russian military operation, with NATO's secretary-general calling it 'a brutal act of war'. There will clearly be more sanctions headed Moscow's way, but it's doubtful that this will dissuade Russian President Putin from his aim to force Ukraine back into the Russian orbit. Western Europe is dependent on Russian natural gas and with the US showing no appetite for military intervention, things are looking extremely bleak for pro-Western Ukrainian President Zelensky. On the economic calendar, Japan releases Tokyo Core CPI for February later today. CPI is expected to rise to 0.4%, up from 0.2% in January. Earlier in the week, BoJ Core CPI, the central bank’s preferred inflation gauge, rose 0.8%, lower than the 0.9% gain beforehand. Japan's inflation has been moving higher, although nowhere near the clip we've seen in the US and the UK. Still, with the Russian invasion in Ukraine likely to push energy prices even higher, inflation in Japan should continue on an upswing. Brent crude pushed above USD 100 for the first time since 2014, as the Ukraine conflict threatens to disrupt oil deliveries from Russia, a major producer. The timing couldn't be worse for the central banks of the major economies, which are struggling to contain red-hot inflation. The Fed is still expected to hike rates in March, but it may have to put a pause on additional hikes if economic conditions deteriorate. The 100-DMA at 114.35 is providing support. Close by, there is support at 114.16 115.68 is under pressure as resistance. Above, there is resistance at 116.30

ETH/ADA and Geopolitical IssuesETH and the crypto market at large have taken a sizable downturn. This comes after a small ETH rebound rally off of the ~2300~ support level. While the situation in Ukraine continues to develop, signs of fear are showing in investment markets around the world. While I usually only write about ETH, ADA has also caught my eye. The 0.80 level was broken , and reached as low as 0.74 . Because of the uncertainty here there is really no 'expected' price action, and I have no idea what will happen. All I can do is cost average into this dip.

Ethereum Co-Founder Shares Thoughts on Russia-Ukraine CrisisIn the midst of awakening turmoil between Russia and Ukraine, the global crypto market declined to a record low. Bitcoin and other altcoins like Ethereum have been dipping since the hint of war hit the news wave. Talking about Ethereum, co-founder Vitalik Buterin tweeted that Ethereum is neutral but he is not. He declared this following Putin’s declaration of a ‘special military operation’ in Ukraine. Russia-born but brought up in Canada, Vitalik reminded everyone that his thoughts do not reflect the views and opinions of his company. That said, Ethereum remains neutral. Meanwhile, he also tweeted “Glory to Ukraine” and condemned Putin’s decision to go on with war by abandoning the chances for a peaceful solution. He also wished everyone safety, even though the situation does not bring it. Also, he mentioned the turmoil as a “crime against the Ukrainian and Russian people’’.

Bitcoin dips 12%In a move that seemed to catch markets by surprise, reports were flowing in of a feared three-pronged attack on Ukraine at the time of writing, with the West already promising more severe sanctions as a result. Bitcoin, already trading in line with stocks instead of acting as a safe haven, thus showed uncertainty of its own, declining over 12.2% from Wednesday’s local highs to hit $34,300. Asian stocks were already feeling the pressure, with Hong Kong’s Hang Seng index down 3.5% and the Nikkei reaching a 15-month low. As traders waited to see the full impact on European and United States stock markets, Bitcoin market participants took stock of what the geopolitical events could mean for the largest cryptocurrency. “So there are arguments both ways for what should be happening to BTC right now. I’m not really sure I would have guessed it would go down based on the fundamentals. But it is down, a lot! Why?” Sam Bankman-Fried, CEO of trading giant FTX, queried in a series of tweets Thursday.

BTCUSD D1 LONG-TERMThe announcement of the new package of Sanctions on Russia are about to spike the #Bitcoin price as EU has just announced that they will cut out Russian participation in the financial sector. With Russia owning most bitcoins, the EU's sactions to exclude Russian banks on the financial markets could be the biggest driver for Bitcoin to move bullish. If $29700 level holds, I anticipate #Bitcoin to be heading towards $50206-$53536 in a long term. Lets wait and see how the Russia/NATO tensions unfolds, as this has become a war between Russia and the West as opposed to Russia/Ukraine tensions.

S&P500 - LongsOANDA:SPX500USD Currently being supported by the 200 moving average, we are seeing outbreaks of the war talks with this morning we have seen, Russian troops attacking Ukraine. Historically, we can see that buying invasions and wars like this is generally profitable with the S&P rising dramatically during; Vietnam war, Gulf war, afghan war, Iraq war and Crimean crisis. I will be watching price action for long term buys, I believe we will see all time highs in equities by summer this year (June/July 2022).
