Which coin was the biggest loser of the week?

The cryptocurrencies listed below are in a downward correction as buyers fail to sustain bullish momentum above the moving average lines. The bottom line is that these worst performing cryptocurrencies risk a decline to their previous lows.

Decred

The price of Decred (DCR) is trading in the uptrend zone. The cryptocurrency has retreated above the moving average lines after the recent price increase. If the coin holds above the moving average lines, the uptrend will resume and resistance at $64 will be reached. On the other hand, if the price breaks below the moving average lines, selling pressure will resume. 

DCR will continue to fall to a low of $26. Meanwhile, the altcoin is at level 51 of the Relative Strength Index for period 14, indicating that there is a balance between supply and demand. It is the cryptocurrency asset with the lowest performance this week. It has the following characteristics:

ROSE will decline and fall into the $0.04 to $0.08 range. If the altcoin holds above the moving average lines, it will regain the previous highs of $0.11.
