Crypto market’s weekly winners and losers – DEXE, ASTEROID, DASH, RAVE

This week in crypto started with a rally after the ceasefire news helped Bitcoin go above $75k. But volatility came back as tensions around the Strait of Hormuz and the U.S.–Iran conflict continued.

Amid this environment, the market split in performance. A few coins saw strong inflows and managed to hold gains, while others faced heavy selling pressure and recorded significant losses.

Weekly winners

DeXe [DEXE] – Decentralized asset broke a key resistance

DeXe [DEXE] led this week’s gains with a 50%+ rally.

Notably, this comes after ten straight green weeks, reinforcing a strong bullish structure. This week’s move, however, was important on the chart.

From the technical standpoint, DEXE broke above the $13 resistance level, which it had previously lost during the pre-October crash last year. The breakout has also brought in some FOMO, with traders now eyeing potential continuation into next week.

But it’s not fully one-way momentum.

The RSI is now in overbought territory, which usually signals the move is getting a bit overheated and could cool off. On top of that, price is approaching the $15 resistance zone, a level it hasn’t reclaimed since early June 2025, so that’s the next key test.

Taken together, an overheated RSI and nearby resistance suggest DEXE’s next move depends on whether it can break through this level. Overall, the weekly trend still looks bullish, but some caution is clearly needed.

edgeX [EDGE] – Crypto platform saw bulls reinforce conviction

edgeX [EDGE] was the second biggest weekly winner with a 37.81% rally.

Notably, this came after last week’s 3.16% correction, making the move look like a clean bull run where weaker hands got shaken out and stronger hands stepped in. If this momentum holds, a push toward the $2 zone next week isn’t too far-fetched.

But on the daily chart, EDGE has already run into resistance around the $1.5 level and is currently down over 9% from recent highs.

At this point, it’s important to watch how the price behaves over the next few days. If support forms as it did in mid-April, a breakout could follow. If not, the momentum may cool off.

Celestia [TIA] – Blockchain network is headed into a critical week

Celestia [TIA] took the third spot in the weekly rally with a 35% upside, following three weeks of sideways consolidation and reinforcing a strong move back toward the $0.4 area.

However, TIA seems to be following EDGE’s pattern, although it is in a relatively better position.

On the daily chart, it faced rejection at the $0.44 level, triggering an 8.5% correction on the 18th of April. Still, unlike EDGE, TIA bulls appear to be stepping in again.

It’s still too early to call this a confirmed support flip.

At the same time, labeling this level as resistance also feels premature, placing TIA at an inflection point. If this level breaks in the coming days, the next target for next week could be the key $1 mark, making it a critical week for the altcoin.

Other notable winners

Outside the majors, altcoin movers also stood out this week.

Asteroid Shiba [ASTEROID] led the action with a -702% move, followed by Rosa Inu [ROSA] dropping -126.5%, while Request [REQ] fell -125.32%, rounding out the list of biggest movers.

Weekly losers

Dash [DASH] – Digital payment asset faced a textbook cooldown phase

Dash [DASH] emerged as the biggest loser this week, down over 16%. However, unlike a full-blown capitulation phase, DASH’s performance seems more like a textbook cooldown phase after seven straight days of pullback.

Backing this, DASH’s weekly decline follows last week’s massive 35% run that pushed it to a two-month high around $50. The result? The RSI hit nearly 80 on the daily chart, showing an extremely overbought situation, further supporting AMBCrypto’s thesis.

In fact, a similar RSI spike isn’t visible on the weekly chart, which suggests there may still be room for more upside for DASH in the coming weeks. If the indicator starts moving up again, it could strengthen this trend, making it an important level to watch.

If this trend holds, DASH could be looking at breaking above $50 next.

LayerZero [ZRO] – Interoperability protocol tested a critical support zone

LayerZero [ZRO] took the second spot among weekly losers with a 12.9% plunge. Clearly, resistance was hit around the $2 level, with price now moving back toward late February support near the $1.5 zone.

The key question going into next week is whether a breakout is possible or if further downside follows.

Looking at ZRO’s weekly chart, since its mid-March high of $2.5, bulls have twice tried to form a bottom, but both attempts have failed. Put simply, bid strength still isn’t strong enough to absorb selling pressure.

In this context, ZRO is at risk of losing the $1.5 support level in the coming week. Overall, the setup still looks bearish, making it a high-risk trade for now.

Zcash [ZEC] – Privacy token hit a key resistance level

Zcash [ZEC] emerged as the third biggest loser with a 10.14% correction. However, similar to DASH, this move looks like a textbook cooldown phase after last week’s 47% rally.

However, with macro FUD back in focus, rotation into privacy coins could slow down temporarily.

Still, on the daily chart, ZEC’s pullback shows only 1–2% daily outflows, which is relatively small given overall market volatility, supporting AMBCrypto’s view.

If this holds, ZEC could be forming a local bottom around the $320 level, and if rotational flows return, a move toward $400+ by the end of the week could come into play.
