In the crypto money world, altcoins are on the agenda with price volatility. They specifically follow the price action of Bitcoin. If BTC falls, altcoins fall more. If BTC increases, altcoins increase more. So, how did they perform this week? We look at the top losers.
Most falling altcoins
Let’s take a look at which altcoins fell this week. First up is Optimism (OP). The drop is at 13.40%. Accordingly, OP has been in decline since Feb 24. This move led to a low of $1.34 on May 31. During the downside move, the price declined below the $1.85 horizontal area. Confirmed as resistance on May 7 (red icon). After that, it dropped to the minimum level mentioned below. If the OP price rises, it will come back to the $1.85 region. However, if a breakout occurs, the price could drop to the next support, $1.
PEPE coin drops
Second among altcoins is PEPE. Pepe (PEPE) fell 12.96%. Memecoin PEPE is also on the list of worst cryptocurrencies this week. Its price has fallen within a parallel bearish channel since May 13. This channel is considered a corrective pattern. In this case, it often leads to breakage. On May 31, the price bounced off the support line of the channel. Accordingly, it started an upward movement. The meme cryptocurrency will move to the channel resistance line if the current move continues. However, if a breakout occurs, the price will drop to the nearest support at $0.0000008.
Other altcoins
Among altcoins, Flare (FLR) is down 9.61% this week. The FLR has been below the bearish trend line since January. The line caused numerous rejections, most recently on April 14. Currently, the price is at risk of falling from the $0.024 horizontal support area. If this happens, there could be a sharp drop to $0.016. However, if the FLR bounces, the price will move to the resistance line at $0.030.
One of the falling altcoins is TON. Toncoin (TON) is down 6.10% this week. It has fallen into a falling wedge since December 2022. Es wedge is considered a bullish pattern. However, this often means that it leads to price breakouts. Currently, the price is trading at the confluence of the $1.80 horizontal support area and the wedge support line. If the price rises from there, it could reach the $2 resistance line. However, if TON is broken, it is likely to drop to the nearest support at $1.37.
Conflux (CFX) is the last coin we will look at among altcoins as Kriptokoin.com. The cryptocurrency is down 6.04% this week. CFX has been trading below the bearish trendline since March 19. Accordingly, it fell to $0.22 on May 12. This apparently caused the $0.27 horizontal area to break. However, the price soon regained the territory and attempted to break the line. Accordingly, if the price breaks, it could move to the next resistance at $0.43. However, if a breakout occurs, CFX could drop to the next support at $0.14.
