This week, crypto turned risk-off.
Bitcoin slipped below $63,000 after failing to hold the $65,000 level, while regulatory uncertainty around the CLARITY Act added to the pressure.
Memecoins also showed high volatility, while selective altcoins managed to outperform despite the broader market weakness, with some names posting strong weekly gains.
Weekly winners
Bitway [BTW] extends its bullish weekly structure
Bitway [BTW] led this week’s gainers with a 43% rally, but the main question is whether this trend will continue in the following days. The main reason is the RSI has entered the overbought territory after BTW’s impressive 167% rise in the previous week, suggesting a possible bearish correction in the short term.
Hence, the strong bearish accumulation will put bears in the driver’s seat in the short-term scenario. Another crucial aspect that cannot be ignored is the fact that FOMO still remains a significant factor influencing the price of Bitway. This week, the token reached a new all-time high of $0.30 despite the overall risk-off sentiment on the market.
Meanwhile, if this scenario continues and BTW’s performance stays robust compared to other assets, the token can continue to be a safe haven for investors. Under these circumstances, it is highly possible for Bitway to maintain its bullish structure on a daily chart as the token climbed over 1.5% intraday.
Therefore, as long as this positive scenario holds, there is a good chance that BTW will break its all-time high once again in the following weeks. Consequently, the overall structure of the asset will remain bullish.
How Worldcoin [WLD] posted a strong weekly rally
Worldcoin [WLD] managed to jump to the second position in this week’s gainers with an 11% increase. Meanwhile, the main reason to believe that WLD will not reverse its upward movement is the fact that it managed to record its first positive weekly change after seven consecutive losing sessions.
Remarkably, this weekly bearish streak was the longest since the beginning of Q1 2026, suggesting that WLD has initiated a bullish wave. Under these circumstances, it is possible for Worldcoin to post another strong weekly increase as the asset has the necessary momentum to break above its previous levels.
If this happens, then it has the potential to enter a short consolidation period similar to the one recorded in mid-May. At the time, WLD climbed over 100% after six consecutive weekly losses. Therefore, as long as the buying momentum holds, a similar scenario might be expected this September.
World Liberty Financial [WLFI] bulls finally enter the game
World Liberty Financial [WLFI] managed to climb to the third position this week’s gainers with a 10.5% increase, but the asset’s performance was lower than those of Bitway and Worldcoin.
Specifically, the 10.5% gain was recorded after an impressive 13% weekly fall, which indicates that bears still have a significant influence on the price action of WLFI. This means that bulls were unable to absorb the downward pressure and profit-taking activities in the previous week.
Another crucial aspect is the fact that WLFI has struggled to break its consolidation range of $0.05 and $0.10 for over 11 weeks. As a result, it is highly possible that WLFI will enter yet another corrective wave in the short term. Hence, in order to initiate a new bullish wave, the bulls should be able to break above $0.10. However, if they fail to do so, the WLFI bears will continue to drive the price of the asset lower.
Other notable winners
Outside the majors, other altcoins had an equally noteworthy weekly performance.
Specifically, Akedo [AKE] was the top winner, surging nearly 150%, followed by Humanity [H], which climbed by 100.5%. Lastly, Versatize Coin [VTCN] was the third, gaining by 87%.
Weekly losers
Uniswap’s [UNI] selling pressure intensifies as bulls fail to step in
Uniswap [UNI] was the biggest loser this week with a sharp 17% drop. Notably, it is UNI’s largest weekly loss since early January and follows up on last week’s 4.3% decline.
Most crucially, the 20+% correction came after six consecutive weeks of gains, as UNI finally managed to clear the $4.50 resistance level. In this setup, UNI could be entering a short-term correction, especially if sellers keep pressure on and the price fails to reclaim $4.50 barrier.
That said, UNI’s bearish scenario is far from being over as the RSI is still running towards the oversold zone. Altogether, the technical setup suggests that UNI has room to lower further in the short-term.
If this happens, then the next significant support is $1.5, and as long as the price holds above this level, the bears will control the UNI in the coming weeks.
Cardano [ADA] at risk of losing KEY support
Cardano [ADA] was the second biggest loser this week with a 9.8% weekly drop. Similar to UNI, ADA’s RSI indicator has much room to move lower before hitting the oversold threshold. As such, there is a good chance that ADA’s bears will drive the price to new weekly lows in the near term.
In addition, with ADA’s price action confined between $0.15 level, this week’s decline could keep the token range-bound rather than trigger a deeper correction. As long as $0.15 holds, the on-chain action may very well see the price staying within this range for some time.
That said, if ADA follows the same pattern as in Q2, then this 10% weekly decline may only be the beginning of the larger correction. More specifically, if ADA’s price action fails to hold above $0.15, then the bears may drive the price to the next support level in the coming weeks.
Pepe [PEPE] saw early Q3 gains fade
Pepe [PEPE] was the third biggest loser this week with an 8.8% weekly drop. Notably, PEPE has been lower for two consecutive weeks after failing to clear the $0.000003 resistance.
However, similar to the two coins mentioned above, PEPE’s RSI indicator has much room to move lower before hitting the oversold threshold. As such, there is a good chance that PEPE’s bears will drive the price to new weekly lows in the near term.
In this scenario, the next significant support is $0.000002, and as long as the price holds above this level, the bears will control PEPE in the coming weeks. If this scenario plays out, then PEPE may very well test the $0.000002 support over the coming weeks. A break below this level could open the door to another leg lower, while reclaiming $0.000003 would be needed to weaken the bearish setup.
Other notable losers
On the opposite side of the market, other altcoins had a notoriously bad week.
Specifically, Audiera [BEAT] was the worst-performing asset, plummeting by 88.4%, followed by Tutorial [TUT] and Biconomy [BICO], which dropped by 75% and 68%, respectively.
Conclusion
This week was a rollercoaster. Big pumps, sharp dips, and nonstop action. As always, stay sharp, do your own research, and trade smart.
Final Summary
- Bitway [BTW], Worldcoin [WLD], and World Liberty Financial [WLFI] led the week in gains.
- Uniswap [UNI], Cardano [ADA], and Pepe [PEPE] saw significant declines.
