The crypto market started the week on a muted note, following a weekend pullback that dragged Bitcoin below $94,000. Although BTC appears ready for a rebound, most major tokens are still consolidating below key resistance levels.
Ethereum (ETH), Binance Coin (BNB), XRP, and Cardano (ADA) followed BTC’s sideways pattern, failing to break above their respective resistances. Yet, a handful of altcoins are standing out, showing signs of strength and potentially shifting investor sentiment.
Top Gainers
CORE (Core DAO) led the gains with nearly 13% growth, backed by over 130 integrations fueling its ecosystem expansion. WAL (Walrus), which previously ranked among the weekend’s biggest losers, made a surprising comeback with over 10% gains. Other notable movers include FLR (Flare), PENGU (Pudgy Penguins), FARTCOIN, BONK, and SUI — all of which posted solid performances.
Top Losers
As part of the market’s corrective phase, some tokens saw profit-taking. Ethereum Name Service (ENS) dropped over 8%, followed by Sonic and BitTorrent with losses around 3–4%. Tokens like STX, RNDR, NEAR, ADA, and ETC experienced milder losses between 2% and 3%.
Despite the mixed performance, community sentiment remains strongly bullish toward Kaspa (KAS), Cardano (ADA), Pi (PI), and XRP. Many investors expect a strong rally in these altcoins once Bitcoin regains momentum above $96,000.
For now, today’s outlook remains neutral — with top coins in range-bound movement, but select altcoins pushing higher and drawing market attention.
