The cryptocurrency market experienced a roller coaster ride last week, with the global market cap plummeting to a two-month low of $1.76 trillion as Bitcoin fell below $50,000. However, the global crypto market cap recovered to $2.15 trillion due to a rebound from Bitcoin (BTC) and other major altcoins.
Here are our top cryptocurrencies to watch this week based on their notable performances last week:
ENA Survives Onslaught
Ethena (ENA) declined with the rest of the market on August 5th. It later recovered, ending the week at $0.32, slightly above the McGinley Dynamic line at $0.316. This represents a modest 2% increase for ENA.
The MACD suggests bearish momentum, with selling pressure dominating. However, the gap between the lines is narrowing, indicating a potential shift.
The McGinley Dynamic is acting as resistance, with ENA struggling to break above it amid weak bullish sentiment. Failure to sustain above this level could lead to a retest of $0.30 support, with a potential decline towards $0.28.
Alternatively, increased buying pressure and a break above the McGinley Dynamic could drive a move towards $0.35. A MACD crossover would confirm this bullish reversal.
Pepe Hovers Around Lower Bollinger Band
Pepe (PEPE) experienced significant volatility, dropping to a low of $0.00000585 on August 5th before rebounding. The meme coin's price fluctuated, ultimately closing the week at $0.00000844, a 2% decline.
The Bollinger Bands indicate PEPE traded near the lower band, suggesting an oversold region. The price dipped below the middle band, around $0.00000994, mid-week, signaling bearish momentum.
The Directional Movement Index provides mixed signals, with the ADX indicating a moderately strong trend.
If Pepe fails to reclaim the middle Bollinger Band, it may continue trading near the lower band, potentially testing $0.00000632 support. Conversely, a return to bullish momentum and a break above $0.00000994 could pave the way for a recovery towards $0.00001357.
LUNC Spikes 22%
Terra Classic (LUNC) experienced a strong bullish reversal last week, closing at $0.00008705 after a 22% spike. Most of this surge occurred on the last day of the week, with LUNC witnessing a remarkable 23% intraday gain.
The Ichimoku Cloud indicator suggests a potential trend reversal. LUNC closed above the Tenkan-sen ($0.00007505) and the Kijun-sen ($0.00007335), showing bullish momentum.
However, the price remains below the Kumo cloud, which spans $0.00007466 to $0.00008705, indicating resistance ahead.
To confirm a bullish trend, Terra Classic would need to break and close above the cloud, particularly surpassing the upper boundary.
Meanwhile, the On-Balance Volume is at 8.526 trillion, indicating increased buying pressure. If LUNC manages to break above the Ichimoku Cloud, it could target higher resistance levels around $0.00010000. However, failure to sustain momentum might result in a retracement towards the Kijun-sen or lower.
