ENA, PEPE, LUNC: Top cryptocurrencies to watch this week

As a seasoned analyst with over two decades of experience in the financial markets, I’ve witnessed more than a few rollercoaster rides, but the cryptocurrency market last week was truly something else. After diving to a two-month low, it managed to bounce back, reminding us once again that this market is anything but predictable.


Last week, the value of the cryptocurrency market took a wild, up-and-down journey, reaching a two-month record low of $1.76 trillion in total worth, and pushing Bitcoin‘s price down under $50,000.

Despite a dip, the total value of the global cryptocurrency market bounced back, reaching approximately $2.15 trillion, thanks in part to a resurgence from Bitcoin (BTC) and significant altcoins.

As a seasoned investor with over two decades of experience in the financial markets, I’ve learned that keeping my finger on the pulse of emerging trends is crucial to maximizing returns. This week, I’m closely watching these top-performing cryptocurrencies, having observed their impressive performances last week:

ENA survives onslaught

On August 5, Ethena (ENA) followed the general market trend and declined. However, by the end of the week, it managed to rebound, closing at $0.32. This was marginally higher than the McGinley Dynamic line at $0.316.

This marks a modest 2% weekly increase for ENA

Right now, the MACD indicates a downward trend, suggesting that sellers have had more influence. However, it’s worth noting that the distance between the two lines is becoming smaller, which could signal a change in momentum towards buyers.

In simpler terms, the McGinley Dynamic is currently serving as a barrier for the ENA price to surpass due to a lack of strong bullish momentum. If ENA can’t maintain its position above this level, it might revisit the $0.30 support, with a possible decline towards $0.28.

If the purchasing power continues to grow and pushes the price beyond the McGinley Dynamic level, there might be a trend towards $0.35. The MACD crossover, when it happens, may serve as confirmation of this potential bullish turnaround.

Pepe hovers around lower Bollinger Band

Over the last seven days, the price of PEPE (Pepe) saw significant fluctuations, dipping as low as 0.00000585 USD on August 5th, but subsequently bounced back.

The price of the meme coin saw substantial changes throughout the week, ending up at $0.00000844 – a decrease of 2%.

In simpler terms, the graphical indicator known as Bollinger Bands indicates that the cryptocurrency PEPE was trading near its lower boundary, implying it might have been in an area where it was overly sold. During mid-week, the price fell beneath the middle line, approximately at $0.00000994, suggesting a downward trend or bearish movement.

As someone who has spent years analyzing market trends and studying various indicators, I can confidently say that the Directional Movement Index (DMI) is a valuable tool for understanding market direction and trend strength. Currently, with an ADX reading of 28.2, it suggests a moderately strong trend, which aligns with my personal experience in observing markets that exhibit clear and defined trends. However, I would caution against relying solely on the DMI as it provides mixed signals at times. It’s essential to consider other indicators and factors before making investment decisions.

If Pepe doesn’t manage to regain the middle of the Bollinger Band, it might persist in trading close to the lower band and even test the support at $0.00000632. On the flip side, if a bullish trend resurfaces and pushes prices above $0.00000994, this could initiate a recovery trend that might lead towards $0.00001357.

LUNC spikes 22%

Last week, Terra Classic (LUNC) showed a robust bullish turnaround, ending the week at $0.00008705 following a surge of approximately 22%.

A large increase mainly happened on the final day of the week for LUNC, resulting in an impressive 23% rise within that trading day.

The Ichimoku Cloud chart hints at a possible shift in trend direction towards an uptrend. The LUNC token ended the day above both the Tenkan-sen ($0.00007505) and Kijun-sen ($0.00007335), demonstrating growing bullish energy, which is a positive signal for investors.

As I analyze the current market trends, it appears that the price is still hovering beneath the Kumo Cloud, with a range of approximately $0.00007466 to $0.00008705. This suggests potential resistance levels ahead in our journey upward.

For Terra Classic to indicate a bullish momentum, it should successfully move beyond and close above its cloud structure, preferably exceeding the top border.

Currently, the On-Balance Volume stands at approximately 8.526 trillion, indicating an uptick in buying activity for LUNC. If LUNC successfully surpasses the Ichimoku Cloud, it may aim for resistance levels around $0.00010000. But if it struggles to maintain its momentum, there’s a possibility of a pullback towards the Kijun-sen or potentially lower levels.
