Bitcoin-Led Rally Could Boost Zcash and Select Altcoins, Though Many Remain Below Key Resistance

Weekly winners

Zcash [ZEC] — Privacy token posted a triple-digit jump

Zcash topped the leaderboard with a ~140% rally, reclaiming attention after prolonged sideways trade since December’s $60 peak. The push began with a clean breakout early in Q4 and accelerated mid-week with a near-vertical move.

About 62% of weekly gains arrived on October 1st, producing a rapid run that tests momentum and conviction. Short-term risk includes overextension; a corrective dip to $120–$130 would be healthy if bulls fail to hold near-term support.

SPX6900 [SPX] — Memecoin breakout off support

SPX rallied ~57% to $1.50, recovering September losses and regaining August levels. Weekly momentum on the weekly chart suggests room to run, though daily RSI hints at possible short-term topping.

SPX’s breakout off $1 support sets a $2 retest as a near-term target if market risk appetite persists.

DeXE [DEXE] — DeFi bulls regain control

DeXE climbed ~28% after two choppy days, posting back-to-back strong sessions that pushed price to $13 — the highest since June. A formed base at $9 and a higher low at $10 suggest a constructive setup for a move toward $15 on sustained momentum.

Other notable winners

Smaller-cap altcoins posted spectacular percent gains: GeorgePlaysClashRoyale (CLASH) +752%, DeAgentAI (AIA) +733%, MetaDAO (META) +338% — classic volatility from low-liquidity names.

Weekly losers

MYX Finance [MYX] — DeFi platform lost 67% on deleveraging

MYX led weekly losses with a ~67% drop from the $16 open, driven by funding rates turning negative (-0.0033%), heavy short positioning, and forced liquidations. The move sliced through $8 support and erased September gains.

Derivatives metrics remain essential to monitor for signs of stabilization or further deleveraging; normalized funding rates could precede a tactical dip-buy opportunity.

DoubleZero [2Z] — Volatility and social-driven sell-off

2Z lost ~27%, reacting to insider-trading allegations circulated on social platforms. Despite founder clarifications, shorting pressure and sentiment-driven flows amplified downside risk.

MemeCore [M] — First weekly red after four months

MemeCore fell ~17% after a 27% intraday drop earlier in the week. The retracement erased September gains and tested the $2 support zone — a level to watch for potential consolidation or further downside.

Other notable losers

Broader altcoin weakness saw Mira (MIRA) -58%, MonBase Coin (MBC) -56%, and Plasma (XPL) -45% as liquidity rotated into BTC and select momentum plays.
