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.

Other notable losers

In the broader market, downside volatility hit hard.

RaveDAO [RAVE] led the losers with a 57.5% drop, followed by Sign [SIGN] falling 43%, and Xphere [XP] slipping 35.6% as momentum sharply cooled.

Conclusion

This week was a rollercoaster. Big pumps, sharp dips, and nonstop action. As always, stay sharp, do your own research, and trade smart.

Final Summary

• DeXe [$DEXE], EdgeX [$EDGE], and Celestia [$TIA] led the week in gains.

• Dash [$DASH], LayerZero [$ZRO], and Zcash [$ZEC] saw significant declines.
