Privacy coin demand surges as open interest accelerates

Dash recorded an increase in open interest to $37 million as buyers controlled both spot and futures markets. In the past day, Dash was reported among leading assets during renewed demand for privacy coins, which occurred at the same time as a $180 million wipeout of crypto shorts. These developments were accompanied by heightened market activity in other privacy-focused cryptocurrencies, as covered by multiple sources, though price action has remained under broader selling pressure.

Anton Kharitonov, expert at Traders Union, sees persistent short-term selling in Dash as price slips below the 20-day moving average. He believes the recent surge in open interest around $37 million mainly reflects speculative activity, not sustained demand. Kharitonov notes mixed oscillator signals and warns that daily volatility of 13.45% reveals downside risk. Privacy coin news has not shielded DASH from intraday losses of 10.47%. "Despite temporary buyer interest, I see further risks as momentum indicators are skewed in favor of sellers and any drop below $38.74 could intensify declines."

Viktoras Karapetjanc, expert at Traders Union, views the rising open interest and dominance of buyers in both spot and futures as a strong signal for continued demand in Dash. He emphasizes that renewed interest in privacy coins puts DASH at the center of a positive sentiment wave. Karapetjanc points to constructive weekly indicators and the asset's hold above the 50-day moving average as signs the bullish structure remains intact. He expects multiple opportunities if resistance at $44.59 breaks. "Further growth is expected, and the market offers setups for those anticipating DASH will lead upcoming privacy coin rallies."

Divergent momentum signals deepen as sellers dominate volatile session

Momentum readings are mixed: both the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) and the Average Directional Index (ADX) on the daily chart point to continued trend strength, but overbought and oversold signals diverge across oscillators. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) and Commodity Channel Index (CCI) remain constructive, hinting at residual buyer interest, while the Stochastic RSI and intraday Bull/Bear Power (BBP) both warn of intraday seller dominance, reinforced by BBP’s "overbought" status on the daily. The Awesome Oscillator (AO) remains supportive of the prevailing trend. The pair opened with a downside gap of about $0.24 and has dropped 10.47% intraday, with the price holding near session lows as volatility registers at a robust 13.45%. This signals strong downside pressure after the open, with intraday action confirming the sellers’ edge seen in momentum gauges.

Earlier, analysts noted that Dash was entering a phase of heightened two-way risk amid volatile trading and mixed technical momentum. The current analysis adds depth to this view by highlighting intensified short-term selling despite persistent buyer interest, making the $44.59 resistance and $38.74 support critical levels to monitor for decisive moves in the coming week.
