Bitcoin's 25% weekly rally to near $78,702 lifted select crypto large caps: Zcash jumped 75.5% to $846.51 and tagged the 1.272 Fibonacci target at $903 (next $1,099), Aave rose 64.5% to $136.08 after breaking a seven‑month descending channel and flipping $125 to support, and XRP climbed 53% to $1.50, breaking a 13‑month trendline and the $1.4735 level. Volume spikes and breakout technicals point to deeper DeFi and token adoption momentum, but ZEC's weekly RSI at 70 flags near‑overbought risk and all moves depend on Bitcoin holding roughly $80,000 to keep upside toward $150 (AAVE) and $1.70 (XRP) in play.

In Brief

ZEC, AAVE, and XRP posted the strongest weekly candles as Bitcoin rallied.
Zcash gained 75.5% and now trades inside its first Fibonacci target zone.
XRP broke a 13-month trendline on its heaviest volume since February.

Bitcoin’s 25% weekly rally has dragged a small group of altcoins sharply higher, with Zcash (ZEC), Aave (AAVE), and XRP printing the strongest weekly candles among large caps.

Bitcoin trades near $78,702 after reaching its highest level since May. Meanwhile, all three altcoins cleared long-standing technical resistance on rising volume, which suggests the move runs deeper than short-term momentum.

Zcash Clears Its November 2025 Peak and Tags the $903 Target

Zcash gained 75.5% last week, its largest weekly candle of the cycle. ZEC now trades at $846.51, down 1.19% over 24 hours.

The rally pushed ZEC above the November 2025 peak at $749. Price now sits inside the first target zone, which ends at the 1.272 Fibonacci extension at $903.

Above that level, the 1.618 extension at $1,099 becomes the next objective. Support sits at the 0.786 Fibonacci level near $628, with a deeper floor at $533.

However, the weekly RSI has reached 70, placing ZEC on the edge of overbought territory. Volume also stayed thin through the range before last week’s spike.

Aave Escapes a Seven-Month Descending Channel

Aave rose 64.5% and broke out of the descending parallel channel that had capped it since January. AAVE trades at $136.08, down 3.08% on the day.

The breakout cleared the $125 resistance band, which now flips to first support. Below that, the former channel floor near $90 marks the next line of defense.

The next hurdle sits at $150, the zone AAVE broke down from in early January. Last week’s high of $144.68 already came within 4% of it.

A weekly RSI of 60 leaves room before overbought conditions appear, unlike ZEC. Institutional interest in Grayscale and other funds has also built up throughout the year.

XRP Breaks a 13-Month Descending Trendline

XRP climbed 53% and broke the descending trendline drawn from its July 2025 record near $3.66. That line has rejected four rally attempts since then.

XRP trades at $1.50, down 1.02% over 24 hours. Volume on the breakout candle reached its highest level since February, indicating genuine participation.

Price also cleared the May swing high at $1.4735 and turned it into support. Resistance now sits at the 0.618 Fibonacci level at $1.70.

Weekly RSI at 57 remains neutral, leaving XRP with the most headroom of the three tokens.

Each setup rests on Bitcoin holding its gains. A rejection below $80,000 would likely stall these breakouts at their first resistance levels. Conversely, continued strength keeps $903 in ZEC, $150 in AAVE, and $1.70 in XRP in play.
