AAVE may retest $100 if the shorter period Moving Average (MA) continues to outpace the longer term MA. PEPE may hold strongly to $0.000001 but it could soon be overbought.

The trio of Aave (AAVE), Pepe (PEPE), and Uniswap (UNI) were part of the top cryptocurrencies bought on exchanges on November 9. This data was disclosed by hitesh.eth, a crypto research specialist on X (formerly Twitter). According to hitesh.eth, PEPE had a net flow of $4.74 million.

The Chinese government released a statement on Nov. 10 declaring that anyone stealing digital collections, such as nonfungible tokens (NFTs), will be subject to theft sentences.  It outlines three views on the type of crime that theft of digital collections falls under, the first two classifying it as either data or digital property. However, the statement stresses the third view which sees digital collections as both data and virtual property that would fall under the umbrella of “co-offending.” The statement explained that stealing a digital collection includes intrusion into the system on which it is housed, therefore also committing the crime of illegally obtaining computer information system data and theft . “The theft of digital collections violates the protection law and interests of the crime of illegally ob

Expert flags this XRP price level as a golden buy zone

Image
Although many assets in the cryptocurrency market have started to slow down their previous gains, the downturn could represent a second chance for those investors who have been eyeing some of them but, for any reason, missed the opportunity to purchase at a low price , including XRP. Specifically, after XRP had a massive rally in the past few weeks, followed by it briefly touching the $0.93 level in July, then rolling back down to $0.45 and back up again, the asset is now looking at a possible correction to $0.54, as observed by crypto analyst Michaël van de Poppe on November 7. Another chance to buy Having said that, according to the expert crypto trader, if this does, indeed, occur, it would not necessarily be a bad thing for the asset in the long run but simply represent “another time to be a buyer” of the fifth-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization for those who failed to purchase it at a lower price .
