Monero, Zcash, Memeinator price prediction ahead of Bitcoin ETF approval

  • Bitcoin is above $42k as bullish sentiment around spot Bitcoin ETFs increases. 
  • Will the outlook for BTC and top altcoins be replicated by privacy coins Monero and Zcash? 
  • Could Memeinator outperform the two coins?

Monero (XMR) and Zcash (ZEC) have lagged other top altcoins over the past several months, with XMR and ZEC up just 3% and 2% respectively over the last 30 days. The tokens were also trading lower on December 29 after a major exchange announced it will delist spot pairs for these privacy coins.

Despite this, could the overall bullish sentiment across crypto ahead of a spot Bitcoin ETF approval by the SEC lift Monero and Zcash? Is the impending nod also a bullish catalyst for Memeinator (MMTR)? Here’s an outlook for each.

Crypto outlook as market awaits spot Bitcoin ETF approval

While the SEC has approved multiple futures and spot Bitcoin ETFs are already listed in other markets, its still a waiting game in the United States.

Sentiment and anticipation are however at a new peak heading into 2024. This is because the US securities regulator has held several meetings with applicants, including BlackRock, ARK 21Shares and Grayscale over the spot ETF filings.

The anticipation is that the first batch of spot Bitcoin ETF approvals will come before January 10, 2024 – the deadline for the final decision on the ARK 21Shares proposal. With just days to the expected approval and further catalysts for crypto aligning, Bitcoin (BTC) price is finely poised above $42k.

Analysts say the potential nod for the US market’s first spot Bitcoin ETF could be the trigger for massive demand pressure for BTC. Prices across the sector could benefit from the overall sentiment to trade higher.

Monero (XMR) price prediction

Monero and Zcash are the two top privacy-focused cryptocurrencies in the market. On Friday, crypto exchange OKX announced it will be delisting spot trading pairs for XMR and ZEC among other privacy coins.

In the market, Monero (XMR) has seen an uptrend of sorts since September. However, its performance over the past month has largely been ranged as bulls fail to break above year-to-date highs of $186. Currently at $172, XMR might have to reclaim the YTD high area as support to build momentum for a run above $200.  

Zcash (ZEC) price prediction

Zcash (ZEC) recently saw its creator and founder of the Electric Coin Co. Zooko Wilcox step down as the company’s CEO. Like Monero, it also will be delisted from OKX in January 2024.

The price of ZEC has declined by about 9% in the past 24 hours. According to data from CoinGecko, Zcash price is down 22% over the past year. Currently at just under $30, ZEC/USD is 99% off its all-time high above $3,191 reached in October 2016.

The short-term outlook for Zcash is thus likely to continue on a bearish trajectory – most likely amid further scrutiny from regulators. However, should the ZEC price cross above $45, bullish momentum could see it target the $100 area. The next major targets would be $200 and the last bull market’s peak above $320.  

Memeinator (MMTR): A new token aimed at meme dominance

Memeinator (MMTR) is a new meme token looking to break into the top meme coin world by capturing a $1 billion market cap. The Memeinator’s goal is to overtake the weak and worthless meme tokens by offering its community real utility.

According to the AI-powered project’s whitepaper, the genuine utility will be via an innovative game, staking and unique NFTs. Integration with top dApps and offering access to DeFi opportunities also looks to be a recipe that could see Memeinator challenge top tokens like Shiba Inu, Bonk and Dogecoin.

The project is currently in presale and attracting huge attention, with over $2.5 million raised so far. At the current presale price of $0.0166, investors who enter before the next stage (11) will see this value jump by 65% when the token lists after stage 20 with MMTR priced at $0.0292.

MMTR price might rally hard from then, particularly with the broader bull market likely in full swing later in the year.

Setup for High-Quality Altcoins Looking Increasingly Favorable As Global Liquidity Gears Up for Expansion: Jamie Coutts

Image
Real Vision analyst Jamie Coutts thinks high-quality altcoins could be primed for price surges as global liquidity ramps up. Coutts tells his 18,600 followers on the social media platform X that the market looks close to washed out, global liquidity is about to turn higher and the risk/reward picture looks “increasingly favorable” for high-quality altcoins. “Top 200 Equal Weight vs. market cap weight ratio at extreme bearish levels. Currently, it’s -2.8 standard deviations ~ a bearish extreme that only hit on three previous occasions. • 2021: During a bull market that proved to be an excellent re-up for the cycle. • 2022: prematurely, but close to the cycle lows when the market was 70% down. • 2023: Near the SEC-catalyzed capitulation lows, Alts decisively broke higher four months later. Despite a small sample size, this breadth measure hints at upcoming cyclical bottoms and mid-cycle entries. Current data parallels 2021’s mid-cycle slump, not 2022/23’s end.”
