Why Bitcoin May Drop Below $29,000 Support Level, Everlodge Set for 35x Pump

Total Media

The cryptocurrency market is in a whirl of excitement as Bitcoin, the veteran of the crypto space, is currently testing the $29,000 support level. In the midst of this, a new player brims with potential - Everlodge. Now in its presale phase, This rising star is poised for a staggering 35x pump. Let's take a closer look at these two opposing forces and what they each bring to the table. Join the Everlodge presale and win a luxury holiday to the Maldives Everlodge (ELDG): 35X Gains Ahead Despite Falling Bitcoin (BTC) Price Everlodge is revolutionizing the real estate investment sphere by blending timeshare with fractional property co-ownership, all on the blockchain. This exciting venture allows ordinary individuals to invest in multi-million dollar vacation properties, even with just $100. The process begins with the digitization of hotels and luxury villas, transforming them into NFTs with all the related titles, deeds, and ownership details securely encoded within a smart contract. These NFTs are then fractionalized, allowing investors to buy a piece of property. For instance, a $10 million villa in Miami could be divided into 100,000 fragments, each priced at $100. If the villa's value rises by 20%, the NFTs' price rises accordingly. The backbone of the Everlodge ecosystem is the ELDG token, which serves as the internal payment currency. ELDG holders enjoy benefits like discounts on trading and maintenance fees. Moreover, by staking ELDG tokens, users can earn a fixed monthly interest, generating passive income. Currently, the ELDG token is available for $0.01 each during phase 1 of the presale, a price set to escalate as the presale progresses. Market analysts foresee a 280% price rise during the presale and a dramatic 30x surge when the token lands on tier-1 exchanges later this year. With its innovative hybrid model of fractional ownership and timeshare, Everlodge is poised to reshape the way people invest in luxury real estate, making it accessible to a broader audience and unlocking exciting opportunities for both developers and individual investors. Bitcoin (BTC) Tests $29,000 Support Level The flagship of digital currencies, Bitcoin, continues to see sharp fluctuations in price. A notable dip to $24,800 was seen in mid-June, which was followed by a resurgence within a week that saw the price climb back to just over $31,000. However, this recovery appears to be short-lived. Bitcoin's value is once again on the decline after it failed to breach the resistance zone around $31,800. More worryingly, the cryptocurrency dropped below the previously stable support level of $29,500 - $30,000. Previously, a wave of optimism had swept through the Bitcoin community, spurred on by anticipation around the potential approval of Bitcoin ETF applications. This would have signaled a level of regulatory acceptance and could have brought in significant institutional support. But when even this cause for hope failed to lift Bitcoin prices, questions arose about what catalyst might be required to propel Bitcoin back into a bull run. Adding fuel to the fire of uncertainty, SEC Chairman Gary Gensler voiced his concerns about the potential for fraud within the crypto sphere. From a technical standpoint, there appears to be a bearish divergence on Bitcoin's weekly chart. Such a signal indicates that while prices may continue to oscillate in the short term, Bitcoin could be in for a sustained downtrend. Chart technicians note the $27,500 area to be a strong support zone. If prices remain above this level, there is still hope for a recovery in the near future. However, a lack of reaction at this level would see mass liquidations and a fast drop to $20,000. Despite the stormy weather, there are some potential ports in the storm. For example, the Everlodge presale is underway. With rock-bottom prices on offer and a massive 35x pump potential, investors are escaping the Bitcoin chaos for the more promising prospects that Everlodge presents.

Crypto Projects With 100x Potential: Tron (TRX), Polkadot, Everlodge

Total Media

With a new cryptocurrency bull market on the way, investors are looking for high-potential projects. While there are thousands available, TRON, Everlodge and Polkadot are expected to offer the best returns. Experts believe that Polkadot is significantly undervalued. With a rapidly growing ecosystem, it could hit new all-time highs over the next year. Meanwhile, TRON is gaining traction in markets worldwide, and has increased in value by 12.94% in the last year. Everlodge is yet to be released. However, the project provides game-changing utility and is expected to offer huge returns. Find Out How To Buy Everlodge (ELDG) Everlodge Is Taking Property Digital Everlodge is a groundbreaking new DeFi project. It utilizes DeFi technology to help investors purchase fractional shares in luxury villas, hotels, and vacation homes. With the market for vacation homes increasing a massive 4.6% annually, Everlodge is expected to provide investors with a number of lucrative opportunities. The platform is designed to be simple for both sellers and buyers. Owners can mint their property as an NFT, which is then fractionalized. Investors can then purchase NFT fractions for a lower cost than if they were to buy the entire property. This reduces the barriers to entry, letting more investors profit throughout the market. Everlodge will reward early investors with a guaranteed return. The project uses a dynamic pricing model in which ELDG tokens will increase after each phase of its presale has sold out. This, in addition to several token holder benefits, has put Everlodge in high demand despite the fact that its presale hasn’t started yet. Once it begins, Everlodge tokens will start selling at $0.01 and are expected to reach $0.035 before its presale has finished. Holders will be able to stake tokens for a passive income. They will also receive free nightly stays in hotels and villas if they join the rewards club. These can be used as a free holiday or sold for a profit. TRON’s Growth Slows In July Over the last thirty days, TRON has increased in value by 0.60%. The project surged to $0.09 on the 22nd of the month after XRP won its case against the SEC. This was also a win for TRON, as its founder now faces legal action from the regulatory board. Although TRON’s value has declined, investors remain bullish. The project's daily trading volume has remained above $150 million and is pushing $200 million going into August. As TRON’s popularity continues to increase, experts believe that TRON could hit $0.1 by the end of the year. Polkadot Could Be Undervalued According To Analysts Polkadots price has decreased by 3.04% in the past month. The project is now trading at $5.17 and remains 40% lower than its value just one year ago. However, both experts and investors agree that Polkadot is significantly undervalued. In 2023, the Polkadot ecosystem has grown faster than ever. Its number of contributors has increased from 15,000 to 19,090, breaking a record in the process. As a result, Polkadot is now the second largest ecosystem in terms of contributors. After breaking records, Polkadot continues to expand. 10 new decentralized apps have been launched, with several more planned for Q3. With its ecosystem continuing to expand, experts predict that Polkadot could hit new all-time highs during the next crypto bull market.

The “IDC DevSecOps Adoption, Techniques and Tools Survey, 2023” identifies the top drivers for DevSecOps as catching security vulnerabilities earlier in the software lifecycle, improving security posture of apps and minimizing human error via security automation. However, IDC found the top three organizational challenges associated with DevSecOps adoption are lack of developer security knowledge, lack of collaboration across security and development teams, and budget constraints. In addition, the IDC survey reported that significantly more organizations experienced a security breach in 2022. Recent notable breaches listed in the NowSecure Mobile Breach Tracker include Chick-fil-A, Hyundai, Kurbo, TikTok and Twitter (X). To help developers, security and privacy teams address these challenges and improve performance, NowSecure Platform 5 provides a consolidated, collaborative, all-in-one platform for mobile app security and privacy. “For most organizations, secure app development, security training, app security testing and pen testing have long been fragmented, frustrating and expensive,” said NowSecure CEO Alan Snyder. “Working with our customers and mobile community, we have joined together all the critical components of a successful mobile app security and privacy program into a single all-in-one solution. Now all organizations can get the unified visibility and efficiencies they need at scale.” NowSecure Platform provides continuous and on-demand automated mobile app security and privacy testing for iOS and Android mobile applications for mobile DevSecOps and Agile teams.
