SUI’s Meteoric Rise: Over 100% Gains in Just One Week

SUI (SUI), the thirtieth-largest cryptocurrency by market cap, has left Bitcoin in the dust with an astounding 109% gain over the past seven days. The token’s price soared from a low of $0.5349 on August 6 to a five-week high of $1.118 on August 12. This rally coincided with the launch of the Grayscale Sui Trust on August 7, a significant endorsement by Grayscale Investments that fueled investor confidence and buying pressure.

Technically, SUI has established a solid support level at $0.86, nestled between the 50-day EMA at $0.8096 and the 100-day EMA at $0.9086. The RSI is in bullish territory at 64, suggesting that the market conditions favor continued upward momentum. If SUI can break above the 200-day EMA at $0.9944, it could revisit its recent high of $1.118 and possibly challenge the April 21 peak of $1.4355 in the coming days.

Helium (HNT) Soars 50% on Decentralized Network Breakthrough

Helium’s native token, HNT, has experienced a remarkable 50.98% surge over the past week, skyrocketing from a low of $3.47 during the August 5 market downturn to an intraday high of $7.11 on August 13. This sharp rise is driven by exciting developments in the Helium network’s mission to decentralize infrastructure. Two major U.S. carriers are currently testing the offloading of mobile traffic to the Helium Network, a move that could significantly shift network dynamics.

The increase in trading volume, which jumped 86.6% from $13.78 million to $25.72 million between August 6 and August 13, underscores the strong demand for HNT. Technically, the token has formed a golden cross on the daily chart, signaling sustained bullish momentum. With the RSI at 68, buyers appear to have the upper hand. Should this momentum continue, HNT could push toward its March 2024 range high of $9.60, with a potential challenge to its multi-year high of $11.16 as the next target.

Zcash (ZEC) Jumps 51% Amid Hybrid Proof-of-Stake Buzz

Zcash (ZEC) has experienced a significant 51.15% jump in the last week, climbing from a low of $29 on August 6 to an intraday high of $44 on August 13. This rally is largely attributed to the recent push for a hybrid proof-of-stake (PoS) upgrade, championed by Zcash founder Zooko Wilcox, who recently joined Shielded Labs. Wilcox’s proposal to transition from Zcash’s traditional proof-of-work (PoW) to a hybrid PoW and PoS model has gained traction, including support from Gemini Exchange co-founder Tyler Winklevoss.

The proposed hybrid model aims to address some of the challenges associated with PoW by introducing staking opportunities for ZEC holders, potentially reducing the circulating supply and stabilizing the token’s value. However, from a technical standpoint, ZEC is currently overbought, with its daily RSI above 70 since August 9. This, coupled with resistance near the $44 level, suggests that a correction or consolidation may be on the horizon. A pullback could see ZEC retesting the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement level at $39.68.
