The post MYX Finance and River Defy Market Slump, Emerge as Top Gainers—Can the Bulls’ Momentum Prevail? appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News

While Bitcoin and major altcoins remain under pressure, select assets have begun to decouple from the broader market trend. MYX Finance and River prices have emerged as the top gainers among the top 100 cryptocurrencies, posting outsized moves despite prevailing risk-off sentiment. Their relative strength stands out at a time when most tokens are struggling to hold key supports, prompting traders to closely assess whether these rallies are driven by short-term momentum or the early stages of a broader trend shift.

MYX Finance (MYX) Price Approaches Critical Resistance

The daily chart highlights a steady recovery phase following a sharp post-spike correction, with the price now consolidating around the $5.7 region. MYX price continues to trade within the upper half of a rising structure, suggesting that buyers are gradually regaining control. However, price remains capped below a clearly defined resistance band, making the current setup a crucial decision zone that could determine whether the ongoing uptrend extends or transitions into deeper consolidation.

The MYX price is trading inside a rising parallel channel, which usually reflects a healthy and controlled uptrend. However, the area between $6.3 and $6.8 has acted as a stubborn ceiling, rejecting the price multiple times and keeping MYX in consolidation. 

The RSI is pointing to mild bullish strength without any signs of exhaustion, while the MACD has started to flatten, suggesting the market is pausing rather than reversing. As long as MYX holds above the $5.2–$4.6 support zone, the upside structure remains intact. A clean breakout above $6.8 could push the price toward $7.9 and $9.5, while a breakdown below channel support would shift attention toward the $4.2 region.

River (RVR) Price Aims for a 30% Recovery

The chart shows the River price coming off a strong impulsive rally, followed by a sharp pullback as it reacts to a major resistance zone. After pushing aggressively higher within a rising channel, RIVER has cooled down and is now hovering around the $21 area, where buyers are attempting to stabilize the move. This phase looks less like panic selling and more like a natural reset after an overheated run.

RIVER had been trending cleanly higher inside a rising wedge, signaling strong bullish momentum and experienced a breakdown. The pullback has now brought RIVER back into a key demand area around $14–$18, which previously acted as resistance and is now being retested as support. Momentum indicators reflect this cooldown: RSI has dropped toward the mid-40s, suggesting momentum has reset from overbought levels, while CMF, hovering slightly below zero, points to short-term capital outflows but not heavy distribution. If RIVER holds above the $14 support zone, a relief bounce toward $26 looks likely, followed by a retest of $35–$45 if buying strength returns. 

The Bottom Line

Even as Bitcoin and most large-cap altcoins lose momentum, MYX and RIVER are quietly holding up well, which is hard to ignore. MYX is respecting its rising structure, and RIVER is trying to stabilize after a strong run and a healthy pullback. This kind of price action usually points to selective buying rather than risk-off panic. If Bitcoin continues to drift without a sharp breakdown, these two could keep outperforming in the near term. That said, broader market sentiment still matters, so BTC’s next move will likely decide whether this relative strength turns into a sustained rally or fades.
