$GRVT Crypto markets saw a volatile week.
Geopolitical tensions and economic uncertainty weighed on sentiment. Bitcoin and major altcoins faced selling pressure, while liquidations added to the swings. However, some altcoins stood out as exceptions, posting strong gains moving closer to recovering their October losses.
Weekly winners
Starknet [$STRK] – A Layer-2 scaling network posted a strong double-digit rally
Starknet [$STRK] led this week’s gainers with an 88% increase, propelling the token to the $0.12 high. The rally has brought $STRK back to levels last seen in late Q4 2025, putting it closer to recovering the losses from the October crash, when the token peaked near $0.30.
Technically, this means that long-term investors who bought before the crash are close to breakeven and ready to cash out. On the other hand, the rally has driven the RSI to overbought levels, increasing the likelihood of a pullback.
As the weekly chart shows, $STRK’s RSI has climbed much higher than the level it hit during the Q4 rally. According to technical analysis, this means that the price is at risk of cooling if the buying pressure subsides.
That said, the daily chart hasn’t shown signs of cooling down yet. The situation can be interpreted as a positive sign, which means that buyers are still in control of the situation, and FOMO isn’t gone yet, despite the fact that the daily RSI is already in the overbought region.
According to AMBCrypto, this divergence is a sign that while weekly RSI might suggest that $STRK is due for a short-term selloff, strong daily momentum could absorb the pressure and cause liquidity sweeps.
If buyers continue to push, $STRK could be set up for a short squeeze with $0.15 as a possible target.
Bitway [$BTW] – Crypto project reinforced bullish conviction over the week
Bitway [$BTW] was the second-largest weekly winner, climbing 35% and nearing the $1.70 mark. The token is on track to close the week at another all-time high, but $1.70 could be a crucial resistance level to keep an eye on.
Notably, the daily chart has not shown any cooling-off period even after the rally. In fact, $BTW has managed to register 10 consecutive weekly green candles, and every dip on the daily chart has attracted buying interest. So, both the price and the trading volumes remain bullish, which could lure more buyers into the fray.
Consequently, if $BTW breaks above $1.70, the next target could be around $2. However, after such a strong rally, some traders may take profits. Nevertheless, as long as buyers continue to step in on dips, the bullish trend could continue.
Aerodrome Finance [$AERO] – Decentralized exchange staged a strong recovery
Aerodrome Finance [$AERO] took third place among this week’s gainers, climbing by 11%. While the rally is inferior to $STRK’s and $BTW’s, $AERO’s chart looks relatively stronger. The RSI indicator is in the high range, but continued buying pressure and FOMO may trigger another jump.
On a daily chart, $AERO has managed to move past the mid-September resistance near $0.92 and is now approaching the $1 mark. The weekly RSI has also not hit the overbought level as $STRK did, which leaves a possibility for further gains.
If the buy wall manages to get $AERO past $1, the rally could continue. Meanwhile, should the token fail to break above this level, there is a possibility of some profit-taking and a short-term cooldown.
Weekly losers
Venice Token [$VVV] – Native token of the ecosystem entered a cooldown phase
Venice Token [$VVV] was the biggest loser this week with a 25% drop. After seven consecutive winning sessions that propelled the asset to a record $35, this bearish turn could either be a shallow correction or a sign of a deeper selloff.
For the time being, however, the chart looks more like a shallow correction than a beginning of the end.
As can be seen in the chart below, the weekly close printed by $VVV this week erased all the gains made during the prior week, marking the first red weekly candle in over a month. Meanwhile, the RSI has cooled off from overbought territory while the price has been ranging within a tight channel over the last two days.
Technically, this development suggests bullish momentum has slowed down, but buyers are still in control. If $VVV manages to hold support, the correction could remain shallow.
Sky [$SKY] – Governance token saw bears regain control over the week
Sky [$SKY] was the second-biggest loser this week, shedding 17%. Interestingly, its daily and weekly charts resemble to that of $VVV, suggesting that this is more of a cooldown than the beginning of a deeper sell-off.
The rally was coming after several weeks of gains and marked the first correction since the beginning of the rally in Q2 2026. The weekly RSI had also entered the overbought territory, so it is not surprising that it corrected. Meanwhile, $SKY is trading in a tight range on the daily chart, which suggests that the buyers are trying to hold their ground.
However, the next test awaits as $SKY is approaching the resistance area it was facing in Q2. If the buyers manage to hold the support and resume the uptrend, the correction will be shallow. Otherwise, the bearish pressure may intensify.
Rain [$RAIN] – Blockchain project reinforced its bearish structure over the week
Rain [$RAIN] registered as the third-largest weekly loser, posting an 8% drop. While it underperformed the double-digit declines posted by $VVV and $SKY, its weekly performance remains the worst among the three.
Technically, the weekly fall comes on the back of six consecutive weeks of losses, with the prior five weekly declines averaging nearly 6%. As such, the recent sell-off appears to be more of a strategic distribution than one wave of panic selling.
Meanwhile, buyers have been unable to muster sufficient buying pressure to absorb the supply, with the overall trend remaining bearish on the weekly timeframe. As such, the path of least resistance for $RAIN is lower, with the decline below the important $0.01 threshold highly likely.
Other notable losers
In the broader market, downside volatility hit hard.
Mina Protocol [MINA] led the losers with a 47% drop, followed by Capricorn [APR] falling 44%, and Chump Coin [CHUMP] slipping 43% as bearish momentum intensified.
Conclusion
This week was a rollercoaster. Big pumps, sharp dips, and nonstop action. As always, stay sharp, do your own research, and trade smart.

$GRVT Crypto Market Rebounds After Macro-Driven Dip
The cryptocurrency market ended a volatile week nearly flat, recovering from a Sept. 29 slump that erased $50 billion in value before a late-week rally driven by “Uptober” sentiment. The initial downturn, which briefly knocked aggregate market capitalization down to $2.95 trillion, coincided with surging oil prices and rising Treasury yields.
Bitcoin led the broader market’s wild swings, closing September up 7% and narrowing its year-to-date losses to 4%. After dipping below $83,000 on Monday, the asset held above that support level until Wednesday, when a brief spike to $85,300 quickly surrendered its gains.
The start of October offered a glimpse into how bitcoin might perform in a month known historically for strong returns. Market data showed bitcoin surging to $87,217 on Oct. 2, matching levels not seen since Sept. 23. However, the top cryptocurrency quickly surrendered those gains, sliding to $84,250, just below its weekly open of $84,720. A weekend rebound pushed bitcoin’s price up over $1,200 to close at $85,500, securing a modest weekly gain of nearly 1% and carrying its market cap just past $1.7 trillion.
Major Altcoins Trade Sideways as Ether Gains 0.4%
Bitcoin’s range-bound price action extended across high-cap altcoins, most of which turned in even flatter weekly performances. Ether ($ETH) tracked bitcoin almost step-for-step, bottoming on Sept. 28 before rallying to a Thursday high of $2,754. A swift sell-off followed, but $ETH steadily clawed its way back to $2,700. By Sunday afternoon (3:45 p.m. EST), $ETH was trading just over $2,700, up 0.4% for the week.
BNB, meanwhile, was one of a handful of high-cap altcoins with weekly gains in excess of 1%, rising from $778 to $789. Quant (QUANT) and hedera (HBAR) were among the few notable altcoins with impressive gains, jumping 39% and 9%, respectively.
Meanwhile, privacy coin zcash (ZEC), one of the best-performing high-cap altcoins in September, closed the week down 17% after plunging from just over $1,600 to $1,332 on Sunday. Other altcoins that logged significant losses included rain (RAIN), down approximately 9%; near (NEAR), down 8.6%; and uniswap (UNI), down 7.3%. Bitcoin cash ($BCH), which spiked weeks ago following news of a CME $BCH futures announcement, closed down 5.2%.
The mixed altcoin price action dragged their aggregate market cap down from $1.3 trillion at the start of the week to $1.285 trillion by Sunday.

🔥 CRYPTO MARKET RADAR | TOP GAINERS, LOSERS & GLOBAL ASSET FLOWS 📊
₿ Crypto • Gold • Silver • Brent Oil • WTI Crude
The market is sending mixed signals: selected altcoins are attracting aggressive buying, Bitcoin is consolidating, and commodities are showing contrasting momentum.
The opportunity isn't simply finding what's green. It's understanding where capital is moving, which assets are gaining relative strength, and where selling pressure is building. 👀
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🚀 TOP CRYPTO GAINERS | 24H
September 26 market snapshot
🟢 $BTW — +38.68%
🟢 $ENA — +19.69%
🟢 $SUI — +15.17%
🟢 $CC — +14.68%
🟢 $WLD — +13.97%
Market interpretation: BTW leads the selected gainers, while ENA, SUI, CC, and WLD are also showing notable upside momentum.
The next confirmation comes from trading volume, liquidity, and whether buyers can defend their newly established price levels. A sharp percentage gain alone doesn't establish a sustainable trend.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🔻 TOP CRYPTO LOSERS | 24H
🔴 $RAIN — -5.77%
🔴 $LIT — -4.68%
🔴 $MORPHO — -2.82%
🔴 $VVV — -2.48%
🔴 $XMR — -1.76%
Market interpretation: These assets are facing relative selling pressure in the latest snapshot.
Watch whether selling volume begins to fade or whether previous support zones turn into resistance. Weakness in individual coins does not necessarily mean the entire crypto market is entering a downtrend.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
💎 TOP 5 CRYPTO BY MARKET CAPITALIZATION
₿ $BTC | Bitcoin — ~$84,063
The benchmark for crypto liquidity and market direction. Its ability to hold support while challenging nearby resistance remains central to broader market sentiment.
♦️ $ETH | Ethereum — ~$2,690
The major smart-contract asset to monitor for ecosystem activity, DeFi participation, and potential capital rotation.
🟢 $USDT | Tether — ~$1.00
The leading stablecoin by market capitalization and an important source of dollar-denominated liquidity across crypto markets.
🟡 $BNB | BNB — ~$775.50
A major exchange ecosystem asset whose price action provides another perspective on large-cap altcoin sentiment.
🔵 $XRP | XRP — ~$1.56
A large-cap digital asset to watch for changes in trading activity, market participation, and relative strength.
The bigger question: Can BTC maintain its market structure while ETH and large-cap altcoins build independent momentum?
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🥇 COMMODITIES MARKET | XAU • XAG • BZ • CL
Gold and silver are attracting attention while crude oil contracts are trading lower in the latest available snapshot.
🟡 $XAU | Gold — ~$4,320.50/oz (+0.52%)
Gold remains an important macro asset to monitor alongside inflation expectations, Treasury yields, and demand for defensive exposure.
⚪ $XAG | Silver — ~$64.71/oz (+1.11%)
Silver is outperforming gold in this snapshot, reflecting stronger short-term percentage momentum. Industrial demand and precious-metal sentiment remain relevant factors.
🛢️ $BZ | Brent Crude — ~$104.32 (-2.08%)
Brent is showing downside pressure. Its movement remains relevant to global energy costs, inflation expectations, and broader macro sentiment.
🛢️ $CL | WTI Crude Oil — ~$92.44 (-2.29%)
WTI is also trading lower, with the latest snapshot showing a larger percentage decline than Brent.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🧠 MARKET FLOW RADAR | WHAT MATTERS NEXT?
1️⃣ Bitcoin dominance: Is BTC absorbing liquidity while altcoins selectively outperform?
2️⃣ Altcoin breadth: Can today's gainers sustain momentum beyond short-lived volatility?
3️⃣ ETH and large caps: Watch whether ETH, BNB, and XRP confirm broader market participation.
4️⃣ Gold versus silver: Monitor whether silver's relative strength continues or begins to fade.
5️⃣ Oil and inflation: Changes in BZ and CL may influence the macro backdrop for risk assets.
6️⃣ Liquidity over headlines: Volume, order-book depth, funding, and open interest matter more than isolated percentage moves.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🎯 THE TAKEAWAY
Crypto is displaying selective strength rather than uniform momentum. BTW, ENA, SUI, CC, and WLD are leading the selected gainers, while RAIN, LIT, MORPHO, VVV, and XMR are under pressure.
Meanwhile, BTC and ETH remain central to the broader market structure, and gold, silver, Brent, and WTI offer a wider view of global risk and macro conditions.
The next move deserves confirmation—not FOMO.
