TOP coins with the strongest increases and decreases last week: KAS, DEXE, UNI, TRUMP

Over the past week, Bitcoin (BTC) has declined by 3.88% as concerns over escalating tensions in West Asia and their potential impact on the global economy triggered a strong sell-off at the end of the week.

From the peak of $71,100 set on Saturday, Bitcoin quickly lost another 3.5% within 24 hours. Meanwhile, the total market capitalization of altcoins also shrank by 1.94% during the same period. Although cautious sentiment dominated the entire crypto market, there was a clear divergence in performance: some altcoins maintained impressive gains, while many others weakened significantly.

In this context, it’s time to review the standout performers and the coins under the most pressure this week.

Top Gainers This Week

Kaspa is becoming a focal point for altcoin investors as it breaks through the 100-day moving average.

On the daily timeframe, this coin has shown strong upward momentum in recent sessions. Trading volume has exceeded the 20-day average since Monday (March 16) and remained steady at high levels, indicating increasing capital inflow.

However, the overall price structure still shows signs of correction. The $0.042–$0.047 range remains a key resistance level that bulls need to conquer to solidify the upward trend.

The price has already broken above the 50- and 100-day moving averages, but the lack of a bullish crossover between these two lines suggests that the upward trend still needs more confirmation signals to become sustainable.

DeXe Strengthens Its Position, Highlighting the Relative Power of AI in Crypto

According to last week’s report, the market cap of AI-focused projects in crypto surged significantly, with many tokens gaining over 30% in just one week.

In this environment, DeXe (DEXE) continues its impressive rally, posting an 18.62% increase for the week. While some leading AI tokens struggled to maintain momentum, DeXe’s relative strength stands out.

Notably, the $7.4 region is now an important supply zone to watch above.

River Approaching a Breakout of Its Local High

A recent report indicates that River has re-established its bullish structure. A correction scenario to the $18 level in case of a Bitcoin sell-off was considered, but recent selling pressure on BTC has not been strong enough to weaken RIVER’s buying interest.

In this context, it’s highly likely that the price will break through the local high of $28.7 and continue its upward momentum next week.

Other Notable Gainers

Artificial Superintelligence Alliance (FET) emerged as a notable AI token, gaining 16.55% over the week. The rally remains intact as buying pressure dominates, provided the price stays above $0.2.

Quant (QNT) also attracted attention with a 12.6% increase during the same period. Although it has yet to successfully break the resistance at $80 on the first attempt, the growth momentum continues to strengthen.

Major Decliners This Week

Uniswap Down 12.4% Amid Weakening DeFi Sector

Daily UNI/USDT Chart | Source: TradingView Data from Glassnode shows that DeFi market cap decreased by 4.5% over the week. Among leading tokens, Uniswap (UNI) performed the worst. Just a week ago, UNI was approaching its local high of $4.29.

The bullish momentum was quite steady but was quickly wiped out. The critical support zone at $3.6 was broken in a short period. The RSI indicator dropped below the neutral 50 level, and OBV also showed signs of stagnation, reflecting a clear weakening of buying interest.

TRUMP Continues to Face Selling Pressure After Conference Hype

Official Trump (TRUMP) was one of the worst performers this week, losing nearly 5% in 24 hours and dropping 20.51% over the week. Previously, this memecoin surged to $4 following news of a crypto conference at Mar-a-Lago.

However, the upward momentum was short-lived as the long-term downtrend quickly resumed and continued to dominate price movements.

OKB Fails to Sustain Previous Gains

OKB – the exchange token and gas fee token of OKX – continues to weaken on the price chart.

Earlier this month, Intercontinental Exchange announced a valuation of $25 billion for OKX in a strategic investment deal, which initially boosted OKB past $120. However, the rally quickly lost steam. Since the peak of $124.2, this altcoin has fallen by 31.9%, with a 12.57% decline just this week.

Other Notable Decliners

Midnight (NIGHT) continued its decline, losing 16.6% of its value over the week. Similarly, popular AI tokens Render (RENDER) and Internet Computer (ICP) also performed poorly, with declines of 10.37% and 9.66%, respectively.

Outlook for Next Week

Geopolitical tensions may lead to a less positive market environment in the coming week. However, Bitcoin is still trading within a value zone, opening opportunities for short-term buying.

If it remains above the support level of $65,600, a recovery and a breakout back above $70,000 are entirely possible. This development could also provide a boost for some altcoins to accelerate their gains, especially those that have demonstrated stronger relative performance compared to Bitcoin recently.
