Cryptocurrency prices had a relatively strong performance this week even as the banking crisis escalated. Bitcoin rose to a high of $29,000 for the first time in months while Ethereum sits comfortably above $1,800. The total market cap of all cryptocurrencies jumped to over $1.17 trillion. This coin price prediction article will look at popular altcoins like OAX, Mask Network, and Arbitrum.

OAX price prediction

OAX price was one of the best-performing cryptocurrencies this week as it jumped to the highest level since April 2021. The token has jumped by over 283% from the lowest level this year and over 500% from last year’s low. The main catalyst for this week’s jump was the decision by Binance to list the OAX.USDT pair in its platform.

The daily chart shows that OAX has gone parabolic in the past few days. As it rose, the token managed to move above the key resistance at $0.3853, the highest point on February 20th. It has jumped above all moving averages. The token also rose above the key point at $0.3275 (November 30 high).

Therefore, the token will likely drop during the weekend as the bullish momentum fades and as investors start to take profits. If this happens, the key level to watch will be at $0.385 followed by $0.3275. The latter is about 26% below the current level.

Mask Network price prediction

Mask Network was one of the top-performing cryptocurrencies. This performance happened as the developers received 257k tokens from Arbitrum, the second-biggest layer-2 smart contract platform in the world. The allocation happened because Mask had been one of the top promoters of Arbitrum.

On the daily chart, the MASK token has been in a strong bullish trend this year. It cruised above the key resistance at $5.41, the highest point on February 3rd. It also jumped above $5.94 (November 3 high). The token has also jumped above all moving averages. It also seems like it is forming a small double-top pattern at $6.86. 

Therefore, MASK crypto price will likely retreat during the weekend as holders start to take profits. If this happens, the token will likely drop and retest the support at $5.

Geopolitics (Vilius Kukanauskas/Pixabay)
Summary

This is an excerpt from CoinDesk newsletter ‘Daybook.’ Sign up here, if you haven’t already.

Daybook will not be published on Monday, May 25 due to the Memorial Day holiday. We will be back on Tuesday, May 26.

The current state of financial markets is best described as macro-geopolitics first, crypto second.

The evidence is clear. Despite recent positive regulatory developments related to the Clarity Act, bitcoin has shown little excitement, trading near $77,200 – largely unchanged over the past 24 hours and for the week.

Meanwhile, oil remains elevated near $100 and speculative capital is pouring into copper amid fears of a sulfur shortage. The connection? Copper production is heavily dependent on sulfuric acid, whose supply has been disrupted through the Strait of Hormuz.

In essence, everything is revolving around Hormuz, driving commodity flows and prices higher, stoking inflation fears, lifting bond yields, which are supposedly weighing over crypto. The U.S. stocks, meanwhile, hover near record highs, driven by AI optimism.

Bitcoin is not at the center of this geo-economic and AI repricing.

It is no surprise, therefore, that U.S. spot bitcoin ETFs continue to bleed, recording $1.15 billion in outflows this week after $1 billion last week, according to SoSoValue. The Coinbase premium, a key gauge of U.S. demand relative to the rest of the world, has hit monthly lows.

Analysts have repeatedly emphasized that these indicators need marked improvement before a sustained rally can take hold. The question is whether that will happen while markets remain fixated on geopolitics and AI.

In the meantime, certain corners of the crypto market, particularly on-chain perpetuals and quantum-resistant tokens, continue to show strength, driven by specific news and narratives, as we discussed Thursday. Layer-1 blockchain Near Protocol’s token (NEAR) is the latest addition to that group, surging over 25% in the past 24 hours following the announcement of a major upgrade focused on automated scaling and quantum resilience.

In traditional markets, Nasdaq futures have surrendered early gains and are trading largely flat. Analysts remain broadly bullish on stocks following the latest earnings season. Stay alert.

What’s trending

  • ZachXBT flags $520K Polymarket exploit on Polygon, team says funds are safe (CoinDesk): Polymarket is aware of reports tied to its rewards payout system and emphasized that user funds and market resolutions remain safe, describing the issue as an internal one rather than a broader contract exploit. Further updates are expected.
  • Near Protocol to automate its own growth and its token is skyrocketing (CoinDesk): Near’s forthcoming upgrade will allow the network to scale dynamically without human intervention. The market is approving, driving up NEAR by 27% in the last 24 hours to $2.25.
  • Asian shares track Wall Street gains and oil prices climb on uncertainty over the Iran war (AP): Asian shares advanced Friday following modest gains on Wall Street, while oil prices rose as efforts to end the Iran war yielded limited results. Oil prices Thursday in U.S. trading, alleviating pressure from the bond market as yields fell.
  • Treasury yields fall as investors digest week of bond market volatility (CNBC): U.S. Treasury yields fell Friday after a week of volatility that saw borrowing costs rise to multi-year highs in response to renewed concerns about inflation. The yield on the 10-year Treasury note fell more than 2 basis points to 4.564%.

Today’s signal

HYPE's daily price swings in candlestick format. (TradingView)

HYPE’s 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) has surged above 70. While readings above 70 are widely labeled as “overbought,” this interpretation is often misleading.

The RSI is a momentum oscillator that measures the speed and magnitude of recent price changes. A reading above 70 simply signals strong bullish momentum and suggests that the uptrend may still have room to run. It does not automatically mean the asset is overvalued or due for an imminent reversal, as the popular narrative often implies.

In strong trending markets, RSI can remain elevated for extended periods without triggering a meaningful pullback.
