Top penny cryptos to watch in December

Top penny cryptos to watch in December

By Crispus Nyaga - min read
  • Cryptocurrencies have been muted in December.

  • There are signs that crypto outflow is increasing.

  • OCEAN, FET, and XRP are great tokens to trade.

December has been a somber month for cryptocurrencies as investors focused on the upcoming Fed decision and activities surrounding FTX’s collapse. Bitcoin has remained steady at $17,000 while the total market cap in the industry has been stuck at about $830 billion. Here are some of the top penny cryptos to watch in December.

Ocean Protocol | OCEAN

Ocean Protocol is a blockchain project in the data analytics industry. It runs a digital marketplace where users can sell all kinds of data. $OCEAN is the native token for the network. It is used to stake on data for curation and buying and selling data. 

In the chart below, we see that the OCEAN price went parabolic in December as investors rushed to buy the coin. It jumped to the highest level since November 9, which was about 95% above the lowest level this year. The token has risen above the 25-day and 50-day moving averages while the Relative Strength Index (RSI) has moved close to the overbought level.

Therefore, OCEAN token price will likely remain volatile in December, making it a good one to trade. If this happens, it will likely retest the important resistance level at $0.2240.

Bitvavo

The Bitvavo platform was launched in 2018, with the goal to bridge the gap between traditional currencies and digital assets. Bitvavo is making digital assets accessible to everyone, by offering transparent fees, a wide range of assets and an easy to use platform.

KuCoin

KuCoin is a global cryptocurrency exchange for numerous digital assets and cryptocurrencies. Launched in September 2017, KuCoin has grown into one of the most popular crypto exchanges and already has over 5 million registered users from 200+ countries and regions. According to Alexa traffic ranking, KuCoin’s monthly unique visit ranks the top 5 globally.

Fetch.ai | FET

Fetch.ai was recently a relatively unknown token until it went parabolic in December. It jumped to a high of $0.1290, which was about 145% above the lowest level in November. After peaking last week, the token has slumped by more than 30% from its highest level during the month.

For starters, Fetch.ai is a blockchain project that runs the Autonomous Agent Technology (AAT). It powers peer-to-peer applications with autonomation and AI capabilities. In simple terms, an autonomous agent is a software entity that carries out tasks on behalf of a user or another program with a degree of autonomy.

Fetch.ai price jumped sharply early this month as the number of transactions in the network jumped. It also rose after Binance enabled staking the token.

Bitstamp

World's longest-standing crypto exchange. Since 2011 Bitstamp has been providing a secure and reliable trading venue to over four million individuals and a range of institutional partners.

Ripple | XRP

Ripple is one of the biggest cryptocurrencies in the world with a valuation of more than $19 billion. I classify it as a penny crypto because it constantly trades below $1. Ripple price has been under pressure in the past few weeks as investors watch the ongoing case.

December will be an important month for XRP because of the potential proceedings in the United States. SEC and Ripple could reach a settlement, according to some analysts, as we wrote here. Therefore, as the case turns two years, there is a likelihood that the coin will see some volatility in December.
