Cryptocurrencies Price Prediction: Currencies, Cardano & StableCoin– American Wrap 20 January

Digital currencies as the new challenge for financial infrastructures

In 2022, there was volatility in traditional financial markets, yet even more volatility in crypto markets. The high volatility occurred in an environment of high inflation, low growth and high debt. The price of bitcoin peaked in November 2021, and since then, all cryptocurrencies have fallen dramatically, experiencing a turbulent year in 2022 as they lost more than $2 trillion in value. The high volatility of cryptocurrencies may indicate the emergence of the central bank's decisive role to play for digital currencies.
 
Cardano (ADA) price is set to tank over 10% as pressure mounts on a crucial support level that is key to keeping this rally going. Lower highs are generated for a fifth day in a row, revealing a massive squeeze to the downside. Overnight headlines on the bankruptcy of crypto broker Genesis are only working as a catalyst for the fire that started burning after central bankers soured the party mood that global markets were having in the first two weeks of the year.
ADA/USD daily chart
Stablecoins have seen a shift in their activity level and general sentiment has fallen alongside prices, despite a spike in demand and utilization. Tether (USDT), the largest stablecoin by market capitalization witnessed a decline in its on-chain volume in 2022 whilst USDC and Binance’s BUSD took over with a spurt in their trade volume.
