China's only public blockchain Conflux sees CFX price skyrocket 1300% in 2023

Social media metrics show strong retail investor sentiment behind the ongoing CFX price rally.

Conflux Network (CFX) is up nearly 500% in the past week with CFX emerging as one of the best-performing crypto assets in 2023 as China appears to be warming to cryptocurrency trading. 

What is Conflux Network?

Interestingly, Conflux Network, also known as Shanghai Tree-Graph Blockchain Research Institute, is the only regulatory-compliant, public and permissionless blockchain in China. Conflux is a layer-1 blockchain operating on a hybrid proof-of-work and proof-of-stake mechanism.

CFX's price has rallied nearly 1,335% year-to-date (YTD) to reach $0.3254 as of Feb. 24, its highest level in fourteen months. In comparison, the combined market capitalization of crypto assets has surged approximately 45% YTD.

Why is Conflux Network price rallying?

Strong fundamentals have primarily driven the CFX price higher in 2023.

For instance, the CFX price increased by more than 90% on Jan. 26, two days after Conflux Network's partnership with Little Red Book, a China-based social media platform, to provide nonfungible token (NFT) services.

The partnership enabled Conflux Network to bring its services to Little Red Book's 200 million user base.

Similarly, on Feb. 15, Conflux Network partnered with China Telecom to develop and pilot a blockchain SIM (BSIM) card service in Hong Kong, thus gaining exposure to the latter's 350 million users. CFX's price has rallied 450% after the announcement.

The high-profile deals also helped boost queries for keywords related to Conflux Network, thus hinting at an increasing retail interest. For instance, the worldwide Google Trend score for the keyword "Conflux Network" reached 93 and 100 in the Jan. 22-28 and the Feb. 12-18 period, respectively.

In addition, the CFX market bull run also comes ahead of the vote on its token burn proposal sometime this week.

So far, the buzz for Conflux Network is palpable. However, that does not safeguard the CFX price from undergoing a massive correction in the coming weeks.

CFX price rally is "overbought"

From a technical standpoint, the CFX's ongoing price boom has left it extremely overbought.

On both daily and weekly charts, CFX's relative strength index has crossed above 70, which hints that its ongoing uptrend is near exhaustion. In addition, the Conflux Network token is testing the $0.28-$0.41 range as resistance, which served as support from May to November 2021.

A pullback from the resistance area could have CFX price fall to $0.097-$0.141 as its primary downside target. The range also coincided with the token's 50-week exponential moving average (50-week EMA; the red wave) near $0.108, down about 65% from current price levels.

Conversely, a decisive breakout above the $0.28-$0.41 range could have CFX price rally toward $0.84, its resistance from May-September 2021 session

US prosecutors have submitted their proposed instructions to the jury for the upcoming trial of FTX co-founder Sam Bankman-Fried, set to begin in October. The detailed 100-page filing, dated Aug. 21, outlines how the prosecutors wish Judge Lewis Kaplan to guide the jury in Bankman-Fried’s case. The instructions are based on previous guidance the New York district judge has provided in other cases.
