The biggest movers include Dogecoin (DOGE), Worldcoin (WLD), and Ethena (ENA).
🔸Dogecoin (#DOGE )
Dogecoin led the biggest altcoin gainers with the highest price increase, surging by 31.60% this week. One key driver behind this rally was the activity of crypto whales. At various points during the week, these whales accumulated large amounts of DOGE, creating significant buying pressure that boosted the coin’s value.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk also played a key role in Dogecoin’s surge. Throughout the week, Musk, a vocal supporter of Donald Trump’s presidential ambitions, repeatedly mentioned the potential creation of a Department of Government Efficiency (D.O.G.E) if Trump wins the presidency.
🔸 Worldcoin (#WLD )
Worldcoin is second on the list of the best performing altcoins. This week, WLD posted 27.30% gains, driven by increasing interest from investors. The surge in Worldcoin’s price can be attributed to its rebranding to “World” and the launch of a Layer-2 called “World Chain.”
As of this writing, Worldcoin is trading at $2.50, though it remains 79% down from its all-time high. The recent price rise followed strong support at $2.10, where bulls defended the level, signaling confidence in the asset. Additionally, the increase in the Relative Strength Index (RSI) reflects growing bullish momentum, further supporting the upward movement.
🔸 Ethena (#ENA )
Ethena has emerged as one of the biggest altcoin gainers this week, primarily due to the launch of its synthetic-dollar protocol, USDe, on the Solana blockchain. This development has driven ENA’s price up by 24.30%, bringing it to $0.41.
On the daily chart, the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicator has turned positive, signaling bullish momentum. A positive MACD indicates that the price may continue to rise. If this momentum is sustained, ENA could potentially reach $0.70 in the short term.
