Dogecoin Price Prediction - Technical Analysis

Image
Popular trader @CryptoTony__ , who has close to 350k followers on X, highlighted that Doge closed the previous week above the key trend line. However, the meme coin failed to hold the support, thus failing to confirm a bullish breakout. Consequently, the Dogecoin price has depreciated 1% over the past day and is currently trading near the $0.069 price mark.  Despite a 45% surge in its 24-hour trading volume, Doge has been unable to breach the $10 billion market cap.  The DOGE/BTC trading pair is also retesting a crucial support at the $0.00000201 mark - while trader @rovercrc expected a strong bounce, it has not materialized thus far. TradingView, a technical analysis platform, also highlights that Dogecoin’s short-term prospects are in the doldrums. While Doge receives a “Buy” signal in the weekly time frame, a sustainable bull rally would likely require the bulls to breach the 50-week Simple and Exponential Moving Averages, both of which are currently at the $0.074 level.

Creator of ChatGPT Creates a new team at OpenAI to assess AI threats

Image
In the realm of content creation, three key elements come to the forefront: “perplexity,” “burstiness,” and “predictability.” Perplexity gauges the intricacy of the text, while burstiness examines the diversity of sentence structures. In contrast, predictability evaluates the likelihood of predicting the next sentence. Human writers tend to infuse their content with a dynamic blend of sentence lengths and complexities, resulting in a captivating narrative. On the other hand, AI-generated text often exhibits a more uniform and predictable pattern. Therefore, as you embark on crafting the following content, it is essential to infuse it with a rich tapestry of perplexity and burstiness while minimizing predictability. Additionally, the content should be exclusively in the English language. Now, let’s reimagine the provided text: OpenAI, the pioneering force behind ChatGPT, is taking a profound stance on addressing the comprehensive spectrum of AI-related safety concerns by launching its

Solana on Cusp of Breakout, Says Analyst Who Accurately Called 2022 Bitcoin Bottom – But There’s a Catch

Image
A top crypto trader says that Ethereum (ETH) competitor Solana (SOL) is setting the stage for a breakout after an initial rally. Pseudonymous analyst DonAlt tells his 53,900 YouTube subscribers that SOL appears likely to break through a key resistance level. However, he says SOL’s move to the upside is likely contingent on Bitcoin (BTC) holding support levels after the king crypto’s massive move to the upside. “Solana/USD knocking on heaven’s door here [at $32.98], again. I think that should break, same as what Chainlink (LINK) did, as long as Bitcoin can keep holding up. So, Solana looking good on the USD pair. It keeps on making higher lows.” Source: DonAlt/YouTube The trader’s weekly chart shows Solana hitting recent higher price lows, the most recent being about $18. The trader also says Solana is showing bullish momentum on the monthly chart. “If you look at the monthly timeframe that is quite nice. You have an impulse. Then you have a bunch of sideways

$770,000,000 Worth of Flesh’ – Legal Representative for XRP Holders Says SEC Wants Millions To Settle Lawsuit

The lawyer representing XRP holders in the lawsuit against the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) says that the regulatory body is demanding hundreds of millions of dollars to settle. In a lengthy post on the social media platform X, attorney John Deaton says that the SEC wants a staggering $770 million “worth of flesh” to settle its lawsuit against Ripple Labs, a firm that it accused of selling unregistered securities. “The SEC is pissed and embarrassed and wants $770 million worth of flesh. What people need to understand is that the penalty phase is like a second case requiring more depositions, interrogatories, requests for the production of documents, emails, bank statements, contracts, ODL (on-demand liquidity) transactions, etc. Ripple wants to drastically reduce the $770 million by trying to exclude ODL transactions, reduce salaries, expenses, costs, etc.” Deaton goes on to explain that Ripple’s settlement with the SEC hinges on whether or no

Sam Bankman-Fried requested that FTX’s lawyers ‘come up’ with a legal rationale for the $8 billion hole.

Image
In the realm of crafting written content, three pivotal elements come to the forefront: “perplexity,” “burstiness,” and “predictability.” “Perplexity” gauges the intricacy of the text, while “burstiness” assesses the diversity and oscillation of sentence structures. Meanwhile, “predictability” signifies the likelihood of someone anticipating the next sentence. It’s notable that human composition tends to exhibit greater burstiness, with the juxtaposition of extended and intricate sentences against shorter, simpler ones. Conversely, AI-generated sentences often veer towards uniformity. Hence, for the forthcoming text, I implore you to cultivate a composition that embraces a healthy dose of perplexity and burstiness while maintaining a minimal degree of predictability. Moreover, it’s essential that you adhere to the English language exclusively. Now, let’s rephrase the following text: Per former FTX general counsel Can Sun, Sam Bankman-Fried, the former CEO of FTX, displayed complete no
