Top 5 Crypto Tokens That Crashed Hardest This Week: Are They Oversold?

Top 5 Crypto Tokens That Got Hit Hardest This Week (23/03 – 28/03)

Key Takeaways

  • Bitcoin lost the $87K level mid-week, dragging altcoins lower across the board
  • All five tokens posted weekly losses between 14% and 21%
  • RSI readings near or below 30 signal oversold conditions for most
  • Some tokens carry positive fundamental developments despite the price drop
  • Broader macro uncertainty continues to weigh on risk assets

This action caused prices to fall across the altcoin market, and smaller, less established cryptocurrencies were hit the hardest. This is a typical reaction – when Bitcoin’s price drops, altcoins usually fall much further.

This week’s price drops felt particularly harsh because several of the tokens most affected were actually showing positive underlying progress. However, as is typical, the market didn’t seem to respond to these improvements.

Let’s take a look at the five stocks that fell the most this week and understand why they did.

1. ether.fi (ETHFI)

  • Price: $0.4674
  • 7-day change: –21.46%
  • Market cap: ~$368M

As an analyst, I’ve been closely watching ETHFI this week, and it unfortunately experienced the largest decline among the protocols I cover. While there were some positive developments – like the listing on the Upbit exchange in South Korea which initially boosted prices by 12-20% – that gain quickly disappeared. Currently, the protocol is undergoing a migration, moving its payment card service from Scroll to Optimism to better handle transaction load. They also have a $50 million buyback program in place, aiming to repurchase ETHFI when it falls below $3. However, the price is currently well below that level, and the buyback program hasn’t been enough to provide sustained support.

Looking at the 4-hour chart, the price has been steadily falling since January, dropping from about $0.78 to around $0.47 now. The RSI indicator is at 33, which suggests it’s nearing oversold conditions. While the MACD is currently negative, the bars are getting smaller, hinting that the selling might be losing momentum. This isn’t a definite sign of a turnaround, but it’s something to keep an eye on. There isn’t a clear level where the price seems to be consistently bouncing back yet.

2. Kite (KITE)

  • Price: $0.1726
  • 7-day change: –20.77%
  • Market cap: ~$311M

KITE is a new blockchain project built on Avalanche that focuses on artificial intelligence. It’s gained attention as a promising smaller cryptocurrency within the growing AI market. The project is aiming to launch its main network in the first quarter of 2026 and recently started a worldwide hackathon with Encode Club to encourage developers to build within its system, which envisions a network of self-operating AI agents. Earlier in March, KITE briefly stood out as one of the few cryptocurrencies trading near its highest price ever, performing better than Bitcoin – but this didn’t last.

Looking at the 4-hour chart, we see a clear pattern: KITE experienced a significant price increase from late January to early March, reaching a high of about $0.32, before quickly falling back down. Now, the price is near where it started before that rally. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) has dropped to around 27, indicating the asset is currently oversold. The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) is negative and continuing to fall. RSI can be thought of like a stretched rubber band – the more stretched it is, the more likely it is to snap back, but this doesn’t guarantee an immediate reversal.

3. Decred (DCR)

  • Price: $20.98
  • 7-day change: –16.99%
  • Market cap: ~$364M

Decred is a long-standing, but relatively low-profile, cryptocurrency that combines proof-of-work and proof-of-stake technologies. It also has a robust system for on-chain governance, allowing the community to directly influence its development. Recently, Decred approved a proposal (DCP-0013) that increases the amount of funds available for development by raising the treasury spending limit to 4%. Earlier in 2026, Decred gained some renewed interest as part of a wider trend focusing on privacy-focused coins. Currently, a significant portion – around 72% – of all Decred coins are locked up in staking. Technical analysts have identified a potential upward price trend, suggesting a possible price target of $38 to $45 if the current support level holds. However, reaching that target will require significant price increases from its current value.

Looking at the 4-hour chart for DCR on Binance, the price peaked around $35 in early March and has been steadily declining since then. It’s now trading at levels last seen before the price increase in February and March. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is around 40, indicating it’s not currently oversold, but it is moving downwards. The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) is also negative, with both lines trending down, suggesting continued downward momentum. We haven’t seen any clear signals that the price will bounce back up yet. Currently, the price is testing the $20-$21 support level, which is an important area to watch for potential price movement.

4. Morpho (MORPHO)

  • Price: $1.49
  • 7-day change: –16.93%
  • Market cap: ~$605M

Morpho is a DeFi platform for lending and borrowing that’s gaining traction with larger financial institutions. In February, Apollo Global Management announced plans to buy up to 9% of Morpho’s tokens over the next four years. Shortly after, the Ethereum Foundation deposited a significant amount – 3,400 ETH – into Morpho, signaling strong support. Morpho is also launching a new version, Morpho V2, which offers fixed-rate and fixed-term loans specifically designed to attract institutional investors. Major players in the finance world are definitely noticing, though the broader market hasn’t reacted much yet this week.

Looking at the OKX chart for MORPHO, I’ve observed a notable price increase from around $1.20 in late 2025 to nearly $2.00 in February 2026, but unfortunately, most of those gains have since been lost. Currently, the price is back around $1.49. Technical indicators suggest it might be nearing oversold territory, with the RSI at 33 and the MACD showing negative momentum. I’m particularly watching the $1.20–$1.25 range; it held as support late last year, and a break below that could signal further downside with limited support levels below.

5. Polkadot (DOT)

  • Price: $1.28
  • 7-day change: –14.44%
  • Market cap: ~$2.15B

Polkadot recently experienced a period of significant upgrades. On March 14th, the network implemented major economic changes, limiting the total supply of DOT tokens to 2.1 billion and reducing the number of new tokens created each year by about 54% – from 120 million to around 55-56 million. These changes also made it much faster for those who ‘stake’ their tokens to access their funds, reducing the wait time from 28 days to just 24-48 hours. Plus, on March 6th, the first Polkadot ETF (TDOT) began trading on the Nasdaq exchange in the U.S. These developments represent a strong foundation for the network, yet the price has still decreased by almost 15%.

Looking at the 4-hour chart for DOT on Coinbase, the price has been steadily falling since September 2025, when it was around $4.50. This decline has been gradual but consistent. Currently, the RSI is around 33, suggesting it may soon be oversold. While the MACD is slightly negative, it’s at least stabilized. DOT is nearing its lowest price in several years, and the $1.20 level will be a key price to watch.
