Four major cryptocurrencies show signs of recovery with green daily candles, but face key resistance levels.

Four major cryptocurrencies show signs of recovery with green daily candles, but face key resistance levels. Ethereum (ETH) is trading at ₹2,30,886 ($2,440.81). This is an original Token Times brief based on reporting by U.Today, with live market data added, as of Thu, 22 Oct 2026 04:00:02 UTC.

Why it matters

The sudden bullish momentum across these diverse cryptocurrencies could signal renewed investor interest and potential trend reversals, despite the overall market remaining relatively flat.

Key takeaways
  • NEAR, ZEC, DOGE, and ETH all show daily green candles indicating upward price movement.
  • ZEC leads with a 3.08% 24-hour gain and a 14.95% weekly increase.
  • Each coin faces key resistance levels that must be cleared for sustained upward movement.
  • NEAR's TVL rises 10.1% over the past week to $147.98M.

NEAR, ZEC, DOGE, and ETH are all showing signs of recovery with green daily candles, indicating a potential shift in market sentiment. This unexpected wave of bullishness comes amidst a generally flat overall crypto market, with the total market cap remaining at $2.84 trillion.

Among the four, ZEC is leading the charge with a 3.08% increase in the past 24 hours and a notable 14.95% gain over the past week. ETH is also up 1.11% over the week, although it has seen a slight 0.13% dip in the last day. DOGE, on the other hand, has experienced a 1.43% decrease in the last 24 hours but remains relatively stable with a 1.30% decrease over the week.

The Fear & Greed Index currently stands at 68, indicating 'Greed', which suggests that investor sentiment is leaning towards optimism. However, each of these cryptocurrencies faces key resistance levels that must be cleared to confirm a sustained upward trend.

NEAR's Total Value Locked (TVL) has risen by 10.1% over the past week, reaching $147.98 million, according to DeFiLlama. This increase in TVL could be a positive indicator for NEAR's ecosystem growth and investor confidence.

The broader market context shows Bitcoin's 24-hour gain of 0.22%, which is modest compared to the more significant movements seen in ZEC and ETH. This suggests that the bullish momentum in these altcoins may be driven by factors specific to their individual ecosystems or investor sentiment.

What this means in rupee

At today's peer-to-peer rate, 1 ETH ≈ ₹252,318.73 (about $2,440.81), down 0.1% over 24 hours. The rupee itself trades about 9.3% above the official rate on the P2P market, so a Indian buyer's effective cost differs from the headline dollar price.
