What's Driving Today's Crypto Rally
Bitcoin reclaimed $77,000 today on $159.5 million of fresh ETF inflows after two days of selling, and altcoins ran harder. Starknet (STRK), NEAR Protocol and Arbitrum (ARB) are all up more than 25% in the past 24 hours, Uniswap (UNI) added another 29% on top of a run that’s already doubled it since August, and Zcash (ZEC) kept climbing, up 8% today and 35% this week. Here’s what’s driving it, the live scan that caught it, and the one name in this list that isn’t overbought yet.
What’s Driving Today’s Crypto Rally
Bitcoin ETF flows swung back to $159.5 million in net inflows today, reversing two days of outflows, as BTC recovered to $77,900. On the altFINS screener, BTC’s RSI14 sits at a neutral 52, and its medium-term trend rating is Up (8/10) — this is a recovery inside an existing uptrend, not a fresh breakout. Notably, Ether and XRP ETFs actually posted outflows even as their prices rose — this is a Bitcoin-led move, with capital rotating hard into altcoins on the back of it rather than broad ETF demand.
Today’s Top Crypto Gainers
| Coin | Price | 1D | 1W | 1M | RSI 14 | Trend |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| UNI — Uniswap | $8.86 | +29.10% | +47.45% | +168.18% | 75.4 | Strong Up |
| NEAR — NEAR Protocol | $3.46 | +26.90% | +39.59% | +110.59% | 78.6 | Strong Up |
| ARB — Arbitrum | $0.2096 | +26.48% | +47.91% | +176.97% | 72.9 | Strong Up |
| STRK — Starknet | $0.0347 | +26.65% | +23.12% | +50.44% | 60.6 | Up |

The Screener Scan That Caught STRK Live
Starknet was already running when, at 7:58 AM CET, the altFINS live signal feed logged a Resistance Breakout signal on STRK — confirmed minutes later by an Unusual Volume Gainer flag and a bullish SMA 5/10 crossover, plus fresh local-high signals across the 10, 15, 20, 30 and 50-period windows. That’s the kind of signal stack the desk looks for to confirm a breakout is real demand, not a single wick: price clearing resistance, volume expanding well above average, and short-term moving averages turning up in agreement.
The level that broke was $0.0342 — a ceiling STRK had tested and failed at multiple times since June. Under the polarity principle, that level now becomes support, and the next resistance zone at $0.0354 (the coin’s 90-day high) becomes the near-term target.
Which of Today’s Breakouts Still Has Room?
Not every name on this list is in the same spot. RSI14 above 70 typically flags overbought conditions — momentum that’s already run hard and is more likely to pause or pull back. On that measure:
- NEAR — RSI 78.6. Overbought. The screener logged an “Approaching Resistance & Overbought” caution signal on NEAR multiple times this morning.
- UNI — RSI 75.4. Overbought. UNI has effectively doubled since August as its fee-switch burn rate climbed past $250 million annualized, but altFINS’ curated setup already flags it as overbought and suggests waiting for a pullback toward the $6.00, then $4.60, zone for a lower-risk entry.
- ARB — RSI 72.9. Overbought. The screener flagged an “Overbought RSI above 70” signal on ARB earlier today.
- STRK — RSI 60.6. Not overbought. This is the one name in today’s breakout basket with room left before the RSI ceiling, which is why it’s the featured setup below.
Zcash Keeps Delivering
Worth a callback: Zcash is up another 7.97% today and 35.14% this week, extending the breakout to a fresh all-time high that altFINS covered when it first cleared its 2016 peak. RSI14 has cooled to 66 after touching the 70s earlier in the run. It’s a reminder that a scan-confirmed breakout with RSI under 70 at the time isn’t a one-day pop — ZEC is now up 188% over the past month.
Starknet (STRK) Technical Chart Analysis

STRK/USD daily — breaking out of a multi-month base; $0.0260 is the level that keeps the breakout thesis alive. Source: altFINS.
The daily chart shows STRK basing between roughly $0.022 and $0.034 since June, well below the SMA 200, which is still sloping down from last year’s highs. Today’s move is the first daily close likely to clear the top of that range on volume well above average, with MACD turning positive and RSI14 climbing but still short of overbought. A pullback that holds the $0.0260 swing low would keep the breakout intact; a daily close back below it would call the setup into question.

What is a resistance breakout screener scan?
A resistance breakout scan flags coins whose price closes above a previously established resistance level while the broader trend rating stays bullish. Under the polarity principle, a broken resistance level often becomes new support, and the next resistance zone above it becomes the price target.
