Crypto market’s weekly winners and losers – XLM, DEXE, ZEC, BCH

This week in crypto was marked by rising volatility. Bitcoin pulled back and ETF outflows continued to weigh on market sentiment. Investors turned more cautious amid macro uncertainty and geopolitical tensions, leading to heavy liquidations across the market. Despite the broader weakness, some altcoins still outperformed as capital rotated into select utility, AI, and DeFi-related projects. Weekly winners Humanity Protocol [H] - Identity-focused project showed strong bullish continuation Humanity Protocol [H] was the top gainer this week with a strong 75% rally, marking its best weekly performance since the October crash. Back then, this kind of move ended in a sharp reversal, with H eventually giving back all its late Q3 and early Q4 gains into year-end. So the big question is whether this time is different. From a technical standpoint, things are starting to look stretched. The RSI is now in overbought territory, suggesting momentum may be due for a cooldown. That said, there’s an important difference this time. Price has managed to break and hold above the $0.4 resistance level for the first time since the Q4 2025 breakdown. On top of that, this move is happening while broader market sentiment remains weak and uncertain. Taken together, this divergence could still support further upside if buyers stay active. If momentum continues, H could be on track to retest the $0.5 area for the first time since Q3 2025, keeping it firmly on the radar heading into next week.  Steller [XLM] - payments network hit multi-month highs with a strong breakout  Stellar [XLM] was the second biggest weekly winner, posting a strong 55.5% rally. This move is particularly notable because it came after 14 weeks of sideways consolidation, setting up a clean breakout structure. However, unlike H’s move, XLM is now running into a key $0.3 resistance zone that it previously failed to hold back in November 2025. With the broader market already stretched, whether this rally continues now largely depends on how the price reacts around this level. On the bigger picture, there’s still some tailwind from capital rotating into utility-focused names during uncertain market phases, which keeps the bullish case alive. That said, price is now at a decision point, so follow-through will be important. DeXe [DEXE] - Decentralized protocol broke a key resistance level  DeXe [DEXE] rounded out the top three gainers this week with a strong 25% rally. Unlike H and XLM, which are coming off fresh breakout moves, DEXE has been grinding higher for over a month, with this marking its fourth straight week in the green. That consistency is what stands out. After getting overheated in April, the rally cooled off for two weeks as traders took profits. Instead of rolling over, though, buyers stepped back in and kept the uptrend intact. As a result, DEXE is now trading close to the $20 level for the first time since losing it in early 2025. With buyers continuing to defend dips and momentum staying positive, DEXE remains one of the stronger-looking charts in the market right now. Other notable gainers Outside the majors, altcoin movers also stood out this week. Allora [ALLO] led the action with a 176% surge, followed by Roll [ROLL], which climbed 150.4%, while Octra [OCT] gained 111.6%, rounding out the week’s strongest movers. Weekly losers Zcash [ZEC] -  Privacy-focused cryptocurrency erased last week’s gains  Zcash [ZEC] led this week’s losers with a 17.3% decline. The pullback comes just one week after a 23% rally, meaning ZEC has now erased most of its previous week's gains. Even so, the chart doesn't look broken. Since late March, ZEC has repeatedly gone through sharp pullbacks before finding buyers and pushing higher again, so this latest drop still fits within that broader pattern. Momentum has definitely cooled, though. RSI has started trending lower as traders lock in profits, showing that the bullish momentum driving the recent rally is fading. Still, it's not at a point where it suggests a major trend reversal just yet. For now, this looks more like a healthy cooldown after a strong run rather than a full bearish phase. Bitcoin Cash [BCH] - Payment asset showed bearish structure with new weekly low  Bitcoin Cash [BCH] was the second-biggest loser this week, falling 11.5%. Unlike ZEC, which is simply cooling off after a strong rally, BCH continues to show signs of a weakening trend. Looking at the bigger picture, BCH has struggled ever since topping around $640 in January. Multiple recovery attempts have failed to gain traction, and this week's decline is another reminder that buyers have yet to regain control of the trend. At this point, the chart still favors the downside, and the longer BCH remains under key resistance levels, the harder it becomes for bulls to defend the $300 area. Sui [SUI] - High-performance Layer 1 blockchain erased 100% of monthly gains Sui [SUI] was the third-biggest loser this week, falling 12.5%. Like BCH, the chart has sta
