Avalanche rose to a one-week high on Tuesday, as markets reacted to the latest inflation report in the United States. Consumer prices rose to 7.1% in November, which was lower than the 7.3% markets had expected. The figure was also 0.6% lower than October’s reading of 7.7%. Litecoin also rebounded on the data, rising by over 6%.


Avalanche (AVAX)


Avalanche (AVAX) was a notable gainer on Tuesday, as prices surged following the release of U.S. inflation figures.


November’s consumer price index (CPI) came in at 7.1%, which was lower than the 7.3% traders were expecting.


As a result, AVAX/USD rallied to an intraday high of $14.09, which saw prices up by nearly 10%.


AVAX/USD – Daily Chart

Today’s rise saw avalanche hit its strongest point since December 5, which was the last time the token was trading above its ceiling at $13.75.


The 14-day relative strength index (RSI) also rose, breaking out of a resistance point of 51.50 in the process.


Gains in AVAX have eased from earlier highs, and as of writing the token is trading at $13.94.

Litecoin (LTC)


Litecoin (LTC) also rose in today’s session, with the token rebounding from its losses to start the week.


Following a drop to $73.52, which was the lowest level LTC/USD had hit since November 29, the token raced to a high of $79.52 earlier today.


This surge in price sent litecoin to its strongest point since December 7, which is the last time price was above $80.00.


LTC/USD – Daily Chart

Looking at the chart, today’s bullish momentum comes as the RSI bounced from a floor of 55.50, and it is now nearing a ceiling of 61.50.


This move has also sent the 10-day (red) moving average higher, a day after it appeared to be certainly heading for a downwards trend.


What happens on Wednesday with the U.S. Federal Reserve will now dictate how cryptocurrency prices will move during the run-up to the Christmas period.

Nevertheless, the new regulations seem to have succeeded in boosting crypto trade volumes on informal markets or on peer-to-peer trading platforms. Nigerian Crypto Traders Get Creative Still, the increasing trades on informal platforms have also led to increased reports of users losing money to con artists. Moreover, with the CBN seemingly eager to see volumes of crypto trades plummet, Nigerian users had to find ingenious but legal ways of getting around the central bank’s imposed restrictions.
