Ordinals are a relatively novel innovation within the crypto space, but ORDI, the cryptocurrency with the Ordinals namesake, is within the grasp of the bears.
According to the latest market data provided by CoinCodex, the token is down nearly 5% within the last 24 hours despite Bitcoin making an 11% gain within the past week.
Even though the market seems bullish for Bitcoin and the market as a whole, Ordinals seem to go against the grain. Analysts are hopeful that ORDI is on the path to a potential bullish breakthrough, however, this seems unlikely.
Although BRC-20 standard tokens are following the general market trend, ORDI in itself is bland, offering no other utility, unlike others within the same category. But its utility in bringing NFTs to the Bitcoin blockchain might provide some value to the mix.
A recent “State of the Union-esque” done at Christie’s Art and Tech Summit showed that the with the traditional art world is in a transitional stage.
ORDI is now trading at $41. Chart:
“We know that there is a provenance verification opportunity here. We all know it and we all know that the art world is resisting it because it suggests transparency, which we say we want but we don’t really want,” Pace Gallery CEO Marc Glimcher said at the event.
If Bitcoin Ordinals keeps attracting developers to its niche, further expanding the codebase on Github, there might be a chance that an increase in development for the open-source platform will lead to overall higher adoption of the BRC-20 standard that will increase investor confidence towards the asset.
$50 ORDI Closer Than Expected?
Despite volatility being a double-edged sword for the most part, ORDI bulls are in a great position to push the token to its limits; At the time of writing, ORDI in the weekly frame. And at $41.33, the price offers little resistance to the overall positive mood of the market, which might lead to a bullish takeover within the next couple of days.

Once this occurs, ORDI has a higher chance of meeting the $50 mark within the next few weeks. But the high volatility also means that this move of accumulation will be a gamble for investors and traders as more and more analysts eye a bigger breakthrough in the long run.
This scenario is highly dependent on the general market upswings that might or might not occur these next few weeks. Investors and traders should monitor the market and look for other opportunities before considering a runback to ORDI.

They say journalists never truly clock out. But for Christian, that's not just a metaphor, it's a lifestyle. By day, he navigates the ever-shifting tides of the cryptocurrency market, wielding words like a seasoned editor and crafting articles that decipher the jargon for the masses. When the PC goes on hibernate mode, however, his pursuits take a more mechanical (and sometimes philosophical) turn.

Christian's journey with the written word began long before the age of Bitcoin. In the hallowed halls of academia, he honed his craft as a feature writer for his college paper. This early love for storytelling paved the way for a successful stint as an editor at a data engineering firm, where his first-month essay win funded a months-long supply of doggie and kitty treats – a testament to his dedication to his furry companions (more on that later).
Christian then roamed the world of journalism, working at newspapers in Canada and even South Korea. He finally settled down at a local news giant in his hometown in the Philippines for a decade, becoming a total news junkie. But then, something new caught his eye: cryptocurrency. It was like a treasure hunt mixed with storytelling - right up his alley!
So, he landed a killer gig at NewsBTC, where he's one of the go-to guys for all things crypto. He breaks down this confusing stuff into bite-sized pieces, making it easy for anyone to understand (he salutes his management team for teaching him this skill).
Think Christian's all work and no play? Not a chance! When he's not at his computer, you'll find him indulging his passion for motorbikes. A true gearhead, Christian loves tinkering with his bike and savoring the joy of the open road on his 320-cc Yamaha R3. Once a speed demon who hit 120mph (a feat he vowed never to repeat), he now prefers leisurely rides along the coast, enjoying the wind in his thinning hair.
Speaking of chill, Christian's got a crew of furry friends waiting for him at home. Two cats and a dog. He swears cats are way smarter than dogs (sorry, Grizzly), but he adores them all anyway. Apparently, watching his pets just chillin’ helps him analyze and write meticulously formatted articles even better.
Here's the thing about this guy: He works a lot, but he keeps himself fueled by enough coffee to make it through the day - and some seriously delicious (Filipino) food. He says a delectable meal is the secret ingredient to a killer article. And after a long day of crypto crusading, he unwinds with some rum (mixed with milk) while watching slapstick movies.
Looking ahead, Christian sees a bright future with NewsBTC. He says he sees himself privileged to be part of an awesome organization, sharing his expertise and passion with a community he values, and fellow editors - and bosses - he deeply respects.
So, the next time you tread into the world of cryptocurrency, remember the man behind the words – the crypto crusader, the grease monkey, and the feline philosopher, all rolled into one.
