Top coins with the biggest gains and losses last week: STABLE, MORPHO, DOGE, ZEC

This week, Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) have nothing to boast about: they each lost 3.5% and 5%, respectively, dragging market sentiment into a prolonged state of caution and lack of confidence.

However, while the two “giants” are still struggling to maintain balance, the rest of the market is showcasing its usual “specialty”: panic mixed with surprise, continuous drama after drama, and a spotlight race that has never cooled down. So who remains resilient after this week’s turbulent waves — and who has been swept away?

Pour a cup of coffee, sit down, and take a deep breath. Let’s review the most notable names in the market over the past week.

The tokens that surged strongly this week

Stable (STABLE) accelerates sharply

Stable (STABLE) had a promising trading week, rising about 25%, from around $0.023 to $0.029, after a significant breakout in the middle of the week. The upward momentum was supported by a noticeable increase in trading volume, indicating buyers are gradually gaining dominance in the market.

Currently, STABLE is consolidating sideways around $0.029, with key support near $0.026 and an important resistance around $0.033.

Morpho (MORPHO) — bulls regain control

Morpho (MORPHO) recorded an impressive 23% increase over the week, breaking out from $1.33 to nearly $1.66 before cooling off and trading sideways around $1.63. After a short correction, buying pressure quickly returned, pushing the price close to the weekly highs.

Technical indicators continue to favor a positive trend. RSI shows strong demand and is approaching overbought levels, while CMF remains above zero at around 0.06, indicating capital inflows are still flowing into this asset.

Growing interest from the developer community could be playing a key role in strengthening investor confidence in the project.

Decred (DCR) recovers quite well

Decred (DCR) gained about 10% over the week, from $24.7 to $26.9, after quickly bouncing back from a short dip to around $22.

The latter half of the week saw a convincing rebound. This recovery not only helped DCR recover previous losses but also brought the price back to a familiar trading range in recent times.

RSI climbed to around 58, indicating room for further gains if buying pressure continues. Meanwhile, OBV signals a more positive outlook as selling pressure weakens and buying activity stabilizes again.

If demand remains steady, Decred is likely to strive to consolidate its position and stabilize above $26.

Other notable gainers

Small-cap tokens also remain lively: Injective (INJ) and World Liberty Financial (WLFI) — a project backed by Donald Trump — both surged about 10%. Meanwhile, Memecore (M) increased by 4%, continuing its positive upward trend.

The tokens that declined sharply this week

Dogecoin (DOGE) loses momentum

Dogecoin (DOGE) experienced a turbulent week, losing about 12.5% of its value, currently trading around $0.097 at the time of writing. Short-term recovery attempts quickly failed, as the price was repeatedly blocked and candles stayed below the Bollinger Bands’ middle line — a sign that the bearish trend still dominates.

Selling pressure is clearly prevailing.

Daily chart of DOGE/USDT | Source: TradingView Momentum indicators also reinforce this negative picture: RSI dropped below the neutral 50 level, while CMF plunged into negative territory, reflecting outflows from the market. Trader sentiment has become cautious, despite occasional weak rebounds with lonely green candles.

On-chain data adds further context. DOGE only records about 26,000 transactions per day among major proof-of-work coins — a modest figure compared to Bitcoin or Litecoin (LTC). This suggests that actual usage demand for Dogecoin remains low, insufficient to provide significant support for its price.

Pippin (PIPPIN) cools down after last week’s explosion

After a spectacular surge of up to 280% and leading the market last week, Pippin (PIPPIN) is entering a short-term correction, down nearly 10% in recent days. This is a typical “cooling-off” phase after a hot rally, as the price quickly climbed to around $0.70 before selling pressure from traders appeared.

The positive aspect is that, despite the correction, the overall trend structure remains intact. RSI remains above 60 at the time of writing, indicating upward momentum has not fully waned and buying interest persists.

On the other hand, OBV has decreased during this correction, but the indicator has started to level off and stabilize — a sign that selling pressure may be gradually absorbed.

ZCash (ZEC) slows down significantly

Zcash (ZEC) faced a challenging week, losing over 20% after an unsuccessful breakout attempt in mid-month. Although it briefly surpassed $320, the rally was quickly halted by bears, pulling the price back to around $250.

Continuous selling pressure caused ZEC to weaken over time. Technical indicators like RSI show the momentum is not overly bearish, but the market lacks enough buying volume to support a rebound during this correction.

With demand showing no clear signs of improvement, ZEC is likely to continue trading sideways around current levels before establishing a new trend.

Other notable decliners

Shiba Inu (SHIB) fell 10%, while Pepe (PEPE) dropped more sharply by 17%. Internet Computer (ICP) also declined 14%, giving back most of its previous gains.

Summary

As always, the market goes up and down — and Twitter tends to overreact to both. But remember: short-term volatility rarely reflects the full long-term picture. In this game, patience remains the strongest “carry.”

Do your own research (DYOR), manage risks carefully, and if possible, avoid panic selling at the exact bottom. Sounds simple, but actually doing it is much harder.

See you next week!
