Kaspa Defies Gravity, Trump Goes to Jail (Price-Wise): A Week of Crypto Chaos as Bitcoin Dips

By our Markets Desk3 min read

Bitcoin (BTC) decided to take a 3.88% dive this week, like a degen paper-handing at the first sign of FUD, sliding from a Saturday high of $71.1k. The 24-hour drop of 3.5% coincided with West-Asia tensions, proving once again that geopolitics is the ultimate whale wallet for moving markets. The altcoin casino followed the house down, with its total market cap shrinking a tidy 1.94%.

The week's Big Winners list reads like a mix of solid tech and pure, unadulterated hopium. Kaspa (KAS) blasted off with a 19.5% surge, its trading volume spiking above the 20-day average like a rocket on March 16. On-balance volume hinted at new highs and the DMI flashed bullish signals, though price is still stuck wrestling with the $0.042-$0.047 resistance zone—the crypto equivalent of trying to break through a brick wall with a plastic spoon.

DeXe (DEXE) rode the AI narrative wave for an 18.62% climb, because slapping "AI" on anything still works, with $7.4 acting as the current ceiling where the hype meets the sell orders. River (RIVER) managed to re-establish something resembling a bullish structure, though it's eyeing a potential pullback to $18 if BTC keeps bleeding—a classic "looks good, but let's see what dad does" altcoin play.

The Artificial Superintelligence Alliance (FET) posted a 16.55% weekly gain, with bulls apparently feeling comfortable above the $0.20 level, perhaps because the name itself is longer than most investment theses. Quant (QNT) rallied 12.6%, making a valiant charge at the $80 resistance level only to be rejected on the first attempt, a tale as old as time in crypto trading.

On the flip side, the Big Losers section is where the pain lives. Uniswap (UNI) was the DeFi sector's weakest link, decisively losing the $3.6 support it was clinging to a week ago. Its RSI slipped below the neutral 50 and OBV momentum stalled out, looking about as energetic as a bear market.

Official Trump (TRUMP) the meme coin, not the candidate, tanked 20.51% for the week, with a 5% drop in 24 hours. This came after a brief, euphoric spike to $4 following the Mar-a-Lago conference, before resuming its longer-term bearish trend faster than a political promise is forgotten.

OKB fell a brutal 31.9% from its $124.2 peak, down 12.57% on the week. This happened despite a $25 billion OKX valuation boost that briefly pumped it past $120, proving that even exchange tokens aren't immune to gravity—or profit-taking. Midnight (NIGHT) kept its impressive losing streak alive, down another 16.6%.

Render (RENDER) and Internet Computer (ICP) rounded out the red with slides of 10.37% and 9.66% respectively, because when Bitcoin sneezes, the whole altcoin market catches a cold. The entire DeFi sector's market cap contracted 4.5% over the week, underscoring the broad risk-off mood that settled in like a bad hangover.

For the Outlook, BTC is now nervously hovering around a $65.6k support zone. Holding above that could theoretically spark a bounce back toward $70k, giving the relative strength winners a chance to stretch their
