ZEC, AAVE and XRP Lead Altcoin Gains as Bitcoin Rallies

Bitcoin’s 25% weekly rally, pushing the price near $78,702, has lifted a select group of large‑cap altcoins. Zcash (ZEC), Aave (AAVE) and XRP posted the strongest weekly candles, each clearing long‑standing resistance on higher volume.

Zcash (ZEC) Targets $903 After 75% Weekly Gain

ZEC surged 75.5% last week, its biggest weekly candle of the cycle, and now trades around $846.51. The rally moved ZEC above its November 2025 peak of $749, placing price inside the first target zone that ends at the 1.272 Fibonacci extension of $903. The next objective lies at the 1.618 extension near $1,099. Support sits at the 0.786 Fibonacci level around $628, with a deeper floor near $533. The weekly RSI is at 70, indicating the token is near overbought territory.

Aave (AAVE) Breaks Seven‑Month Descending Channel

AAVE rose 64.5% and broke out of a descending parallel channel that had constrained it since January. The token now trades near $136.08. The breakout cleared the $125 resistance band, which now acts as first support. Below that, the former channel floor around $90 provides the next line of defense. The next hurdle is $150, a level previously broken down from in early January. A weekly RSI of 60 suggests room before overbought conditions develop.

XRP Breaks 13‑Month Descending Trendline

XRP climbed 53% and broke a descending trendline drawn from its July 2025 record near $3.66. The token trades around $1.50. The breakout candle recorded the highest volume since February, indicating genuine participation. Price also cleared the May swing high at $1.4735, turning it into support. Resistance now sits at the 0.618 Fibonacci level near $1.70. The weekly RSI is at 57, keeping the token in neutral territory.

Outlook Tied to Bitcoin’s Momentum

All three setups depend on Bitcoin maintaining its gains. A rejection of Bitcoin below $80,000 could stall the altcoins at their first resistance levels. Continued strength keeps the $903 target for ZEC, $150 for AAVE and $1.70 for XRP within reach.
