Top Crypto Losers: Dogecoin, Zcash, Bonk – Meme and Privacy coins under pressure

Source Fxstreet
  • Dogecoin declines to $0.10 on Monday after losing over 7% on Sunday.
  • Zcash remains below $300 on Monday following an 8% drop the previous day.
  • Bonk holds steady after a 9% decline on Sunday, ending the three-day recovery run.

Meme coins such as Dogecoin (DOGE) and Bonk (BONK), alongside the privacy coin Zcash (ZEC), are leading the broader market losses over the last 24 hours. DOGE, ZEC, and BONK ended their three consecutive days of recovery with a sudden decline on Sunday, as crucial resistance levels capped the gains. Technically, the altcoins show downside risk, starting the week under pressure.

Dogecoin risks losing the psychological support level

Dogecoin is trading above the $0.1000 psychological level at the time of writing on Monday, sustaining its position above this level after a 7% drop on Sunday. The 50-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) capped the gains on the previous day, while its downward slope reaffirms the prevailing bearish bias. 

The path of least resistance targets the October 10 low at $0.0950, followed by a deeper zone at the February 6 low of $0.0800. 

The technical indicators on the daily chart maintain a neutral bias. The Relative Strength Index at 45 hovers slightly below the midline in the neutral zone, while the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) and signal line remain in the negative territory as the bullish histograms expand.

To reinforce an upward trend, Dogecoin should reclaim the 50-day EMA at $0.1174, which would open the door to the $0.1332 resistance level, aligning with the November 21 low.

Zcash under $300 could experience more downside pressure

Zcash dropped nearly 8% on Sunday, failing to surpass a resistance trendline connecting the December 29 and January 7 highs on the daily logarithmic chart. At the time of writing, Zcash is down over 1% on Monday, crossing below its 200-day EMA at $298. 

The immediate support for the privacy coin below this moving average is the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement level at $231, measured from the August 20 low at $34.45 to the November 7 high at $750. 

The RSI is at 48 on the daily chart, indicating a neutral stance, while the MACD and signal line continue to trend upward, with positive histograms expanding. This suggests an overall neutral-to-bullish bias despite the short-term pullback.

A potential rebound from the 200-day EMA could retest the overhead trendline close to the 50-day EMA at $337. A decisive daily close above this level could extend the rally to the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement at $362, followed by the psychological $500 level.

Bonk fails to clear a key resistance level

Bonk is holding steady above $0.0000650 at the time of writing on Monday, following a 9% decline on the previous day. The pullback nearly erased the 14% gains from Saturday and risks a return to the February 5 low at $0.0000576. The pullback also reflects the $0.0000719 resistance level, which capped gains on Sunday. 

The RSI at 41 plateaus slightly below the halfway line after a minor recovery from the oversold region, reflecting a significant decline in selling pressure. Meanwhile, the MACD and signal line maintain the bullish crossover from Friday as the histograms above expand, suggesting a steady bullish momentum.

However, for a steady recovery, Bonk should exceed $0.0000719 to meet the declining 50-day EMA at $0.0000808.

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.
