Crypto Market Weekly Winners and Losers – VIRTUAL, TRUMP, DEXE, BGB

This week, the cryptocurrency market was booming — thankfully, there was no crash again.

Instead, President Donald Trump made some strategic moves to stir the pot, including the swearing-in of Paul Atkins as SEC chairman and some false rumors about tariff cuts with China.

But the real headline? Trump’s big push for his memecoin, sending it soaring to its biggest weekly gain and near the top of the charts.

Weekly Winners

Virtuals Protocol [VIRTUAL] — AI Token Sparks FOMO as It Reclaims $1

Virtuals Protocol [VIRTUAL] surged 93% this week, taking the well-deserved spotlight and topping the list of top 100 crypto assets.

It started off slow, consolidating at $0.58, but on April 22 it surged 21% and took off like a rocket.

In just four days, VIRTUAL’s price surged above $1, its highest level in over a month.

FOMO is brewing, and sentiment for tokens has turned positive for the first time in three months.

And it’s not just tech macro catalysts like Trump’s 90-day tariff policy and China’s “rate cut” hype that are fanning the flames.

As pressure builds, the virtual currency may keep the momentum going. What are the chances of a sustained rise? Let’s just say, “cautiously” high.

Trump Official [TRUMP] — Memecoin gains momentum through strategic moves

It’s no accident that Trump Official shares have surged into the top three weekly gainers with a gain of over 80%. This surge is entirely Trump’s own masterstroke.

With less than a month to go until the top 220 holders of the TRUMP memecoin get to enjoy a once-in-a-lifetime dinner with Trump, the race is on.

The race for the golden seat is heating up, and this epic rally is just the beginning.

Sure, the RSI indicator crossed 80, sounding the “overbought” alarm, and the MACD indicator is also flashing some bearish signals. But anything can happen when Trump is involved.

While other tokens are trading down more than 40%, Trump is down only 10%. That’s right, big players are still operating, buying on dips, and retail investors are taking advantage of the opportunity to profit.

As the dinner approaches, don’t be surprised if Trump continues to move higher in the coming weeks.

Clearly, the race to the top is far from over - unless concerns about Trump’s “manipulative tactics” reach a critical mass and spark change.

Brett [BASED] — Memecoin Shows “High Risk,” “High Reward” Potential

Brett (BASED) is right behind Trump, jumping 78% this week to close in on second place.

The fact that it’s the only stock to extend last week’s gains makes it a more popular choice.

This week has undoubtedly been a gold mine for both the AI and memecoin sectors, but BASED really stands out, dominating with a 90%+ monthly gain.

And memecoin’s growth isn’t slowing down — it’s now firmly in the 8th spot by market cap, surpassing Dogwifhat [WIF].

While a minor pullback may be imminent, these key fear of missing out (FOMO) drivers could propel BASED further up in the coming days. $0.10 back? Closer than you think.

Other Gainers to Watch

Beyond these heavyweights, the market as a whole was buzzing.

Housecoin [HOUSE] burst onto the scene with an eye-popping 970% surge, outperforming even the top 1,000 tokens! Alpaca Finance [ALPACA] and MemeFi [MEMEFI] followed closely behind, up 345% and 246%, respectively.

Weekly Losers

DeXe [DEXE] — DAO Promoter Leads the Way with Double-Digit Losses

DeXe [DEXE] leads the losers, down 13.77% on the week.

It all started with a promising bullish move – DEXE opened with a 1.67% gain and even crossed $15.

But then, the bears spoiled the party. The 1D price action says it all – bulls lost momentum and long positions got squeezed.

In short, what was supposed to be a continuation of last week’s rally turned into an emergency landing, and now DEXE is perilously close to the $13 bottom.

Historically, the $12.15 support has tried to catch up to the decline. Moreover, with the volume plummeting by 50%, the bears are clearly in the driver’s seat.

Therefore, a retest of this bottom seems to be the next stop before any recovery. So, don’t be surprised if DEXE continues to slide in the coming week.

BitGet Token [BGB] — Utility Token Remains Steady, Limiting Its Losses

BitGet Token [BGB] performed calmly, with weekly losses of only 2.15%.

Earlier this week, BGB had fallen to $4.5, but don’t rush to make up your mind — BGB has recovered to $4.40 and even rebounded to $4.46 mid-week.

Clearly, bulls remain strong and under pressure, and a sharp drop is unlikely.

If they maintain this momentum, a smooth recovery and consolidation may be just around the corner.

It looks like BGB has made the right moves to end April with a perfect record.

Unus Sed Leo [LEO] — Utility Token Launched 6 Years Ago Hints at an Untimely Recovery

Unus Sed Leo [LEO] follows BGB’s lead, down 3.48% this week.

But just like BGB, bulls have also put pressure on bears due to the wild price action.

The MACD remains in neutral territory, which means that LEO’s recent rally to $9.40-$9.50 may be short-lived.

This is the danger zone for the start of the April decline, so traders are watching this position closely.

Before volume gets back in the green, LEO could drop to the $8.75 support level before a true recovery.

With all this unpredictability, don’t be surprised if LEO’s weekly decline continues for longer.

Other Notable Losers

Across the broader market, a number of tokens saw declines.

VICE [VICE] led the declines, plunging 60%, while Aergo [AERGO] and Acet [ACT] followed closely, correcting 37% and 34%, respectively. These companies had a rough week!

Conclusion

Here’s a recap of the biggest gainers and losers this week. The cryptocurrency market is as volatile as ever, with price swings coming fast and wildly.

Remember, it’s important to do your own research (DYOR) before making any investments!
