After a disastrous week, the digital currency market , including the top 5 cryptos, is ready for a recovery. According to CoinGecko, the crypto market’s total market cap increased by nearly 2% in the past 24 hours.

Although the broader financial market is still closely monitoring the US debt ceiling crisis, Bitcoin and Ethereum’s recent localized rallies, along with the strong performances of the top 5 cryptos, pulled the market upward.

Top 5 Cryptos Expected To Pad Investors’ Portfolio With Gains

KAVA

Although last week was painful for investors, KAVA saw gains in both TVL and price. According to DefiLlama, the Kava ecosystem’s TVL grew by over 3% in the past 24 hours with steady gains since last week. KAVA itself is experiencing bullish pressure, with the token up more than 43% in the past seven days.

The token’s current momentum seemed to be slowing down, showing signs that KAVA may face losses in the short term. However, a rebound from $0.782 will open the path to $1.46 as investors gain confidence along with the general market rebound.

LDO

After implementing Lido V2 in February, Lido has exempted itself from the general market downturn in the past few weeks. According to CoinGecko, the price of LDO rose by nearly 23% since last week. This shows investors’ strength along with a strong strategic partnership to ensure Lido’s dominance in the DeFi industry.

LDO bulls are currently trying to flip the $2.08 resistance to support opening up a path toward $2.8. LDO’s rise to this price point is inevitable, but this can only happen if the current momentum of the market continues its bullishness. Monitoring the price movement of the major cryptocurrencies will give investors an edge over the bears.

BGB

With the launch of its cartoonified ETFs, Bitget’s BGB gained dominance in the crypto market. CoinGecko data reveals that the token gained 15%, going against the grain of the market decline. This makes BGB a great token to hold at the moment.

BGB has found support on $0.46. This will be the crucial support in which the token will find higher highs in the long run. With BGB following the current wave of the market, investors and traders will enjoy gains in the medium to long term.

RPL

Rocket Pool has been creating buzz recently as they broaden their horizons. Along with their recent Atlas upgrade, RPL gained the confidence of investors to manifest gains in the long run. According to CoinGecko, the token is up nearly 12% in the past few days following the rise of the major cryptocurrencies.

🚀 Things are heating up for @Rocket_Pool.

The protocol now has more than 500K $ETH staked. That’s an 11% increase since the Atlas upgrade went live on April 17. Rocket Pool is now the 5th largest staking provider.

With the bulls targeting $53.67 resistance, a flip to support on this level will open up the path toward $58.88. However, this can only continue if the market keeps up the momentum. Thus, monitoring the current market sentiment will be beneficial for investors and traders.

BSV

With the recent noise created by proponents that Bitcoin SV’s bigger block size and lower transaction fees make it a better BTC alternative, BSV increased in value by 16% according to CoinGecko. Along with the recent listing on Bitforex, this coin will certainly continue to ride the bullish wave in the market.

The coin has a big potential to regain ground on the $55.18 resistance in the long term. With the coin being marketed as a better alternative to Bitcoin, more investors may put capital as time goes on. Once $55.18 becomes support, $81.64 resistance should be targeted by investors and traders.

They say journalists never truly clock out. But for Christian, that's not just a metaphor, it's a lifestyle. By day, he navigates the ever-shifting tides of the cryptocurrency market, wielding words like a seasoned editor and crafting articles that decipher the jargon for the masses. When the PC goes on hibernate mode, however, his pursuits take a more mechanical (and sometimes philosophical) turn.

Christian's journey with the written word began long before the age of Bitcoin. In the hallowed halls of academia, he honed his craft as a feature writer for his college paper. This early love for storytelling paved the way for a successful stint as an editor at a data engineering firm, where his first-month essay win funded a months-long supply of doggie and kitty treats – a testament to his dedication to his furry companions (more on that later).

Christian then roamed the world of journalism, working at newspapers in Canada and even South Korea. He finally settled down at a local news giant in his hometown in the Philippines for a decade, becoming a total news junkie. But then, something new caught his eye: cryptocurrency. It was like a treasure hunt mixed with storytelling - right up his alley!

So, he landed a killer gig at NewsBTC, where he's one of the go-to guys for all things crypto. He breaks down this confusing stuff into bite-sized pieces, making it easy for anyone to understand (he salutes his management team for teaching him this skill).

Think Christian's all work and no play? Not a chance! When he's not at his computer, you'll find him indulging his passion for motorbikes. A true gearhead, Christian loves tinkering with his bike and savoring the joy of the open road on his 320-cc Yamaha R3. Once a speed demon who hit 120mph (a feat he vowed never to repeat), he now prefers leisurely rides along the coast, enjoying the wind in his thinning hair.

Speaking of chill, Christian's got a crew of furry friends waiting for him at home. Two cats and a dog. He swears cats are way smarter than dogs (sorry, Grizzly), but he adores them all anyway. Apparently, watching his pets just chillin’ helps him analyze and write meticulously formatted articles even better.

Here's the thing about this guy: He works a lot, but he keeps himself fueled by enough coffee to make it through the day - and some seriously delicious (Filipino) food. He says a delectable meal is the secret ingredient to a killer article. And after a long day of crypto crusading, he unwinds with some rum (mixed with milk) while watching slapstick movies.

Looking ahead, Christian sees a bright future with NewsBTC. He says he sees himself privileged to be part of an awesome organization, sharing his expertise and passion with a community he values, and fellow editors - and bosses - he deeply respects.

So, the next time you tread into the world of cryptocurrency, remember the man behind the words – the crypto crusader, the grease monkey, and the feline philosopher, all rolled into one.
