The top-performing altcoins are rising this week as cryptocurrency prices move above the moving average lines.


There is potential for altcoins in bullish trend zones to continue increasing. However, TAO remains confined between the moving average lines.


Pi


Pi (PI) has rebounded above its $0.13 low and broken through the moving average lines. On February 15, the cryptocurrency reached a high of $0.20 before quickly falling below the 50-day SMA support.


On February 17, bullish momentum broke and closed above the 50-day SMA support. PI is now rising. If bullish momentum pushes the price above the $0.20 level, the altcoin could reach a high of $0.28. PI is currently the best-performing cryptocurrency.

Kite


Kite (KITE) price has resumed their upward trend after retracing to a low of $0.235. In the last market movement, the cryptocurrency price was rejected twice at the high of $0.24. On February 18, a long candlestick wick indicated significant selling pressure near the recent peak.


Today, the altcoin is approaching the initial barrier. If buyers break through the $0.24 resistance, the altcoin could reach a high of $0.286. KITE is the second most popular altcoin.


  • The current price is $0.2302.

Morpho


Morpho’s (MORPHO) price has risen above its $0.97 low and broken through the moving average lines. The cryptocurrency price is retreating after reaching a high of $1.53. The upward trend will resume if the altcoin retraces and remains above the $1.43 breakout level.


On the upside, the altcoin is expected to surge to a high of $1.66 once it breaks through the $1.50 barrier. The altcoin has retraced and is currently hovering above the $1.40 support. MORPHO is the third-highest-performing cryptocurrency.

Bittensor


Bittensor (TAO) has recovered in price, although it remains confined between the moving average lines. The momentum broke above the 21-day SMA barrier, reaching a high of $215 before pulling back. The altcoin is now trading above the 21-day SMA support but below the 50-day SMA threshold. The altcoin will trend when either the 21-day SMA support or the 50-day SMA barrier is broken.


Today, the cryptocurrency price has surpassed the 21-day SMA support. TAO will fall to a low of $156 if it loses the 21-day SMA support. When the altcoin breaks above the 50-day SMA, it will continue its upward trend. TAO is the fourth-best-performing cryptocurrency.

ATOM surged to a high of $2.50 before pulling back. The altcoin is trading above its moving average lines but below $2.50. If the 50-day SMA support holds, the altcoin’s upward trend will continue. If ATOM breaks below the moving average lines, it will fall to its lowest price. ATOM is the fifth-best-performing cryptocurrency.


  • The current price: $2.31

Bloomberg reported that the Bank of England expects to finalize its framework by late 2025.The new rules are also set to require asset reserves and greater issuer transparency, aligning with international best practices. Stablecoin Regulation Around the World Globally, stablecoin regulation has become a top priority for central banks and financial watchdogs: United States The US Treasury and Federal Reserve are exploring a regulatory model focused on bank-like supervision for major issuers such as Circle and Tether. Several bills in Congress — including the Clarity for Payment Stablecoins Act — propose strict reserve and audit requirements. European Union The EU’s Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) framework, taking effect in 2024–2025, will be the world’s first comprehensive crypto regulation. MiCA mandates 1:1 reserve backing for stablecoins and limits their use if they threaten financial stability — a move seen as setting the…
