At the start of the second week of July 2026, the market presents an interesting picture: while some assets, like MemeCore, are experiencing sharp corrections after vertical growth, three coins from the top hundred — DeXe (DEXE), Lighter (LIT), and Cardano (ADA) — have attracted analysts' attention with sustained bullish signals. Let's break down what exactly makes them the favorites of the current week.
DeXe (DEXE): Confident breakout from the "cup and handle"
On the weekly chart, DEXE has formed a classic bullish "cup and handle" pattern. The breakout occurred back in May, after which the token tested the Fibonacci retracement level of 0.618 around $15.62 and bounced. The subsequent three-week rally brought the asset to the $28.39 mark, representing a gain of over 30% in the last seven days. A key achievement was the consolidation above the $24.20 resistance and the renewal of the yearly high.
Currently, DEXE is targeting the first pattern-based goal of $30.31, which coincides with the external Fibonacci level of 1.272. The next ambitious target is $38.09 (level 1.618), for which it needs to overcome the 2021 all-time high of $32.38. However, it is worth noting that volumes are declining amid the growth, and a second bearish divergence is emerging on the weekly RSI. If the price continues its ascent, this signal will lose strength, but investors should remain vigilant.
Lighter (LIT): Fundamental catalyst and technical breakout
LIT shows even more impressive dynamics, gaining nearly 48% over the week and consolidating around $2.54. On the daily chart, the asset is trading at highs not seen since January. The first rally target at $2.42 (external Fibonacci level 1.272) has already been reached. The next stop is $2.87 (extension 1.618).
The growth is supported not only by the technical structure (an ascending trend line and a strong demand zone near the January high of $2.00) but also by fundamental changes. The project team revised the tokenomics, introducing a permanent burning mechanism and an updated staking model. This has created a powerful narrative for buyers. The daily RSI is around 77, indicating overbought conditions, but without clear reversal signals. A short-term correction to $2.00 would not disrupt the overall bullish structure.
Cardano (ADA): Attempt to reverse a multi-year trend
Cardano became the growth leader among large-cap cryptocurrencies last week, rising by 26%. The move started from a multi-year low of $0.1382 and reached the $0.20 mark, followed by a pullback to $0.1818. This high almost coincided with the Fibonacci retracement level of 0.382 ($0.2052). It is important to understand: in a downtrend, such zones often act as technical bounces rather than reversal points.
A key signal — in early June, ADA broke down from a descending parallel channel and reached the target at the $0.15 support level. If the recovery continues, the price could test the lower boundary of this channel. The next significant resistance is at the Fibonacci level of 0.5, around $0.2259. Volumes remain high, and on-chain data shows the emergence of nearly 15,000 new wallets after the June decline, further supporting the recovery.
Expert conclusion: This week, the key levels for invalidating the bullish scenario for DEXE would be a confirmed RSI divergence, for LIT — a close below $2.00, and for ADA — a failure to consolidate above $0.2259. The story of MemeCore, which crashed 20% in a day, is a clear reminder of how fragile vertical rallies can be. The current situation requires traders to pay special attention to risk management, but the technical signals of DEXE, LIT, and ADA look among the most promising this week.
