Top cryptos survive the weekends, avoiding any major drawdown or loss in momentum

Bitcoin (BTC) holds above $109k, with Hyperliquid (HYPE) and Zcash (ZEC) dominating the top performers chart with rising social sentiments.

Top cryptocurrency prices are starting the new week on a bullish note as they survive the weekend without any major drawdown or loss in momentum. Bitcoin (BTC) trades above $109k. Hyperliquid (HYPE) and Zcash (ZEC) are among the best performers with surging social sentiments. HYPE hits a new all-time high as it nears a $40 breakout, while ZEC is above $50. Virtuals Protocol (VIRTUAL) is reaping the broader market tailwinds with a consolidation breakout.

Hyperliquid moves into untested waters

Hyperliquid is trading at $39.80 with a 1.70% leap on Monday, printing a new all-time high at press time. The 12% jump on Sunday forms a bullish engulfing candle, breaking the 1.272 Fibonacci level, which is being retraced over the 70% crash from $32.12 on December 21 to $10.26 on April 5.

As the HYPE rally enters a price-discovery mode, the momentum indicators are becoming hotter. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) at 86 is heating up further in the overbought zone, which could pose risks of a trend reversal. The Moving Average Convergence/Divergence (MACD) at 4.32 with its signal line at 3.17 shows a positive trend at play, supporting the chances of further upside.

According to Lunarcrush, the social momentum metrics are showcasing a surge in retail interest as engagements hit 25.61 million and social mentions reach 21.01K.

As per the Fibonacci levels, the 1.272 retracement level breakout places the $45 level on the bullish radar as it aligns with the 1.618 Fibonacci.

On the flip side, a daily close candle under $38 could extend a decline to the 100% level at $32.12.

Zcash hits a crucial crossroads

Zcash is up by 10% on Sunday, fueling the bullish start to this week. At the time of writing, ZEC trades at $54.55 as it pulls back from the 24-hour high at $56.79.

The altcoin is up 51% this week, pumping the 50-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) above the 200-day EMA, triggering a golden crossover. This marks the short-term trend overcoming the longer-term price action, signaling a bullish trend reversal.

The daily RSI at 76 crosses above the overbought boundary, signaling a rising flow of bullish momentum. However, the overbought risks surge as the RSI trades higher. After a minor lull in activity, the MACD and its signal line are aligning again for a bullish crossover on May 22. With a new wave of rising histograms, the momentum indicator supports the uptrend thesis.

The privacy coin is spearheading the trend with a surge in social activity. As per Lunarcrush, the social mentions of ZEC reached 15.1K, the highest in three months. In addition, the unique mentions of Zcash are about to cross 1,000.

The Fibonacci levels are being retraced over the 60% decline from $75.49 to $29.19 between December 2 and March 11, placing the 50% level at $51.89. As the 10% surge on Sunday forms a bullish engulfing candle heating up above the halfway level, the uptrend faces resistance at $57.25, which aligns with the 61.80% Fibonacci. A potential breakout rally could target $64.87, which is envisaged by the 78.6% level.

On the other hand, a steeper correction below the 50% level could retest the $46 horizontal level, a high-activity resistance turned support area.

VIRTUAL holds its trend momentum, targets $2.50 with range breakout

VIRTUAL is up more than 6% on Monday, trading at $2.15 at press time. Starting this week on a positive note, the Solana-based AI agent is nearly breaking out of a consolidation period over the last 17 days.

A daily close above $2.08 will mark the range breakout and continue the 40% rally this month. The ongoing reversal in VIRTUAL accounts for a 271% rise with a 165% return in April, projecting a strong bullish reversal in motion.
