We’ve attempted to list the most relevant factors involved in crypto price fluctuations, but in this fast-paced industry, it’s likely more will arise as the market develops. If you think we’ve missed any, feel free to let us know.
The week has been much more successful for some of SAFEMOON’s fellow DeFi tokens. Kava.io (KAVA) hit an all-time high on August 22, and data indicated that it has made a couple of further attempts to reach those heights since. In addition, Terra (LUNA) also achieved its latest all-time high, hitting $36.61 in the morning of August 29. This milestone is the result of an impressive total growth of nearly 30%. It also brings the token closer to a spot in the top 10 most valuable cryptocurrencies by market capitalization. LUNA is currently ranked 11th.

Pips are the units used to measure movement in the price of a cryptocurrency, and refer to a one-digit movement in the price at a specific level. Generally, valuable cryptocurrencies are traded at the ‘dollar´ level, so a move from a price of $190.00 to $191.00, for example, would mean that the cryptocurrency has moved a single pip. However, some lower-value cryptocurrencies are traded at different scales, where a pip can be a cent or even a fraction of a cent.
Yes, there's a second meme cryptocurrency inspired by the meme dog. And a Wednesday flippening shows it's no joke.
Cryptocurrencies work using a technology called blockchain. They are tokens that can be used as a form of payment in exchange for online goods and services. They carry a pre-determined store value of their own, just like any other fiat currency like the US dollar or the Indian rupee. Cryptocurrencies are digitally mined, where very sophisticated computers solve extremely complex computational mathematics problems. Their mining is painstaking, costly and only sporadically rewarding.

The market seems to have taken a turn this morning as a correction has set in. Both BTC and ETH have witnessed a small correction, said Zebpay Trade Desk. The same is happening in altcoins as well, it added.
And that, we regret to inform you, has led to some rather silly thinking (highly unusual in the crypto community, we know), specifically of the chart-crime variety:
Subscriber growth is harder to track than the other metrics. Only the current subscriber count is displayed for a particular subreddit, and historical data cannot be rebuilt retrospectively as subscribers do not have a visible historical imprint. A third-party website, RedditMetrics (http://redditmetrics.com/), has been retrieving and storing real-time subscriber counts; however their data on the particular subreddits of interest only reaches back to 2012 so the subscriber growth analysis can only start at this point. Fig 2 shows the three social media metric time series for each cryptocurrency; note that subscriber growth is the only metric that can have negative associated values, caused by more users unsubscribing than subscribing on a particular day.
Bill Noble, chief technical analyst at TokenMetrics, a cryptocurrency analytics platform, thinks the price of Bitcoin will climb throughout the rest of the year. “I think it’s more likely Bitcoin goes to $75,000 than $25,000,” he says.
Several other regulators, including from Hong Kong, Germany, Japan, Italy, and Thailand, followed with various warnings, with the Netherlands the latest to do so this week. Hong Kong initially raised the alarm over crypto derivatives related to listed stocks which Binance stopped offering last month. In late July, Binance said it would cease to offer all derivative products in Germany, Italy and the Netherlands. Does Twitter’s new crypto leader signal end to Dorsey’s Bitcoin maximalism?

Tokens are built on an existing blockchain but are considered to be programmable assets that enable the formulation and execution of unique smart contracts. Outside of the blockchain network, these contracts can be used to establish ownership of assets. Tokens can be used to represent units of value such as money, coins, digital assets and electricity, and can also be sent and received.
Even if they are on the list the city watchdog is not responsible for regulating them and they don't have any power over how they conduct business with customers.
4JNET’s unique mechanism echoes with the “HODL” idea of encrypted tokens to a great extent, which advocates “buy and hold” regardless of its appreciation and depreciation in the short run. In essence, its fairness, security and transparency enhance investors’ confidence in holding the tokens for a long time or trading at the right time, allowing them to become rich one day.
However, cryptocurrency is unique as it is typically decentralised so there is no control from government interference. Cryptocurrency uses something called a blockchain.
