Risky Assets Could See A Bounce

Risky assets could see a bounce as they’ve been beaten up enough but a sustained rally won’t take place before the U.S. Federal Reserve has delivered more “massive rate hikes,” said OANDA’s Senior Market Analyst Edward Moya recently. 

DOGE Co-Creator Notices Spike

Dogecoin co-creator Billy Markus noted that DOGE blockchain transactions are experiencing a spike. The number of daily transactions on the Dogecoin blockchain surged to a one-year high of 74,986 on Sunday, according to a prior report.

Markus also took a jab at chartists after Ethereum prices soared on Sunday. 

On Sunday, a Dogecoin developer who goes by the handle “chromatic_x” posted a blog on the release notes for Dogecoin Core 1.14.6.

“I for one am proud that the 1.14.6 release includes features we haven’t seen before in any of the Bitcoin forks in our constellation,” the developer said.
