Top Crypto Losers: Zcash, Pump.fun, and LayerZero extended losses as Bitcoin loses $65,000

Source Fxstreet
  • Zcash is down 5% on Monday, extending the 18% loss from last week.
  • Pump.fun drops below a key support with nearly 7% loss on Monday after Sunday’s 5% fall.
  • LayerZero slips over 5% so far on Monday, stretching Sunday’s 5% downside reversal from the 200-day EMA.

The cryptocurrency market starts the week in panic mode, with altcoins Zcash (ZEC), Pump.fun (PUMP), and LayerZero (ZR). Bitcoin falls below $65,000 as the US President Donald Trump regroups amid renewed trade policy risks. The technical outlook for ZEC, PUMP, and ZRO points to downside risk amid increased bearish momentum.

Zcash extends pullback after a bearish week

Zcash trades below $250, down 5% at the time of writing on Monday, extending the 18% loss from the previous week and bringing the total to roughly 30%. However, the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement level at $231, measured from the August 20 low at $34.45 to the November 7 high at $750 on the daily logarithmic chart, serves as immediate support. 

A decisive daily close below this level could extend the pullback toward the $187 support level, which previously triggered a bounce on February 6. 

Still, the declining trend in the 50-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) at $317, approaching the 200-day EMA at $295, flags the risk of a bearish death cross, which would trigger a sell signal. Meanwhile, the Zcash price is trading below the declining EMAs, reaffirming a short-term bearish bias. 

The technical indicators on the daily chart suggest a renewed bearish momentum as buying pressure fades. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) at 37 falls toward the oversold zone as selling pressure increases. At the same time, the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) declines toward its signal line as positive histograms contract, risking a bearish crossover.

On the upside, a potential rebound from $231 could retest the 200-day EMA at $295.

Pump.fun slides further amid persistent selling pressure

Pump.fun extends a largely declining trend, with nearly a 7% loss at press time on Monday, below the crucial psychological support level of $0.002000. The path of least resistance targets the $0.001678 support level, marked by the December 24 low, which previously helped in a rebound on February 6. 

A decisive close below $0.001678 could extend the decline toward the S2 pivot point at $0.001199. 

The technical indicators on the daily chart suggest a bearish bias amid increasing selling pressure. The RSI at 39 edges lower from the halfway line with further room on the downside before reaching the oversold zone. At the same time, MACD crosses below its signal line, marking a bearish crossover.

However, on the upside, the 50-day EMA at $0.002325 could serve as the immediate resistance.

LayerZero lowers under pressure as moving averages cap recovery

LayerZero is down more than 5% at the time of writing on Monday, approaching the $1.500 psychological support level. The ZRO token trades below the 50-day and 200-day EMAs, which are in a bearish alignment, reflecting downside pressure. 

The 200-day EMA capped last week’s recovery on Sunday, prompting a 5% pullback below the 50-day EMA. The immediate support for the DeFi token lies at the February 6 low of $1.356, followed by a deeper support at the S1 pivot point at $1.177. 

The RSI at 42 reverses from the halfway line as selling pressure grows, with further downside room before reaching the oversold zone. The MACD and signal line extend below the zero line, as bearish histograms widen, reaffirming the surge in selling pressure.

To reinstate an upward trend, the ZRO token should surpass the 50-day and 200-day EMAs at $1.691 and $1.787, respectively.

Bitcoin briefly loses 2025 gains as crypto plunges over the weekend.Bitcoin experienced a sharp decline this weekend, briefly erasing its 2025 gains and dipping below its year-opening value of $93,507. The cryptocurrency fell to a low of $93,029 on Sunday, representing a 25% drop from its all-time high in October. Although it has rebounded slightly to around $94,209, the pressures on the market remain significant. The downturn occurred despite the reopening of the U.S. government on Thursday, which many had hoped would provide essential support for crypto markets. This year initially appeared promising for cryptocurrencies, particularly after the inauguration of President Donald Trump, who has established the most pro-crypto administration thus far. However, ongoing political tensions—including Trump's tariff strategies and the recent government shutdown, lasting a historic 43 days—have contributed to several rapid price pullbacks for Bitcoin throughout the year. Market dynamics are also being influenced by Bitcoin whales—investors holding large amounts of Bitcoin—who have been offloading portions of their assets, consequently stalling price rallies even as positive regulatory developments emerge. Despite these sell-offs, analysts from Glassnode argue that this behavior aligns with typical patterns seen among long-term investors during the concluding stages of bull markets, suggesting it is not indicative of a mass exodus. Notably, Bitcoin is not alone in its struggles, as Ethereum and Solana have also recorded declines of 7.95% and 28.3%, respectively, since the start of the year, while numerous altcoins have faced even steeper losses. Looking ahead, questions linger regarding the viability of the four-year cycle thesis, particularly given the increasing institutional support and regulatory frameworks now in place in the crypto landscape. Matt Hougan, chief investment officer at Bitwise, remains optimistic, suggesting a potential Bitcoin resurgence in 2026 driven by the “debasement trade” thesis and a broader trend toward increased adoption of stablecoins, tokenization, and decentralized finance. Hougan emphasized the soundness of the underlying fundamentals, pointing to a positive outlook for the sector in the longer term.
