Top Crypto Gainers Today: Dash, Story, and Monero Lead as MYX Finance and Chiliz Follow

The post Top Crypto Gainers Today: Dash, Story, and Monero Lead as MYX Finance and Chiliz Follow appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News

With majors cooling after a quick rebound, the crypto market is stuck in a tight range as traders wait for the next macro trigger. Bitcoin hovers near $91,800 while Ethereum holds above $3,130, with spot demand still steady even as risk appetite stays cautious. Total crypto market cap sits around $3.13T, while 24-hour volume is near $98B, signalling positioning ahead of key events; ETF flows have also turned mixed, keeping sentiment reactive. 

Against this backdrop, momentum has shifted to today’s top gainers—Dash, Story, and Monero, with MYX Finance and Chiliz also tracking higher.

Dash Price Surges Over 20%, Enters Decisive Range

Dash price halted the bearish trend by mid-December, and after maintaining a trade within a tight consolidated range, the token triggered a strong breakout. The price recovered strong support, which gained the confidence of the traders. The rise of 120% in daily volume substantiates the claim that pushed the price to the local resistance at $45. What’s next? Will Dash price reach the next target at $51?

The DASH price has been experiencing massive volatility since the October 2025 breakout, but unfortunately, all the gains were wiped out in a few days. The 200-day MA has been acting as a strong base since then, and now that the price has reclaimed these levels, the bulls could take over the rally. The MACD has just displayed a rise in the buying pressure; however, the volume is low, which could recover soon. The token surpassed the resistance at the 50-day MA, around $44.74, and a daily close above this range could pave the way to reach the next target at $51.64. 

Story Price Surges by 15.25%, Gearing Up for 10% Upswing

The Story price is currently in a transitional phase after the latest breakout that occurred in the first few days of 2026. Following the breakout, the bulls are trying hard to maintain a strong upswing, which has just breached above the local resistance at $2.66. Currently, the bulls could be aiming to clear the immediate trend reversal zone that may ignite a fresh upswing in the IP price. 

As mentioned in the previous composition, the Story price is strongly heading towards the next target at $3.5, but is facing some resistance at $3. Following the breakout, the technicians have turned bullish, as OBV is maintaining strong higher highs and lows. Besides, the RSI enters the overbought zone but shows no signs of exhaustion. This indicates the rally holds enough momentum and is primed to rise above the target. However, a daily close above $3 is necessary to maintain the bullish trend. 

Monero Price Rises by 13.57%; Price Heading to $700

Monero has been surging since the start of the year, while the rally has been intensified by the past trading day. The token marked a new ATH and is trading firmly in a discovery phase that usually marks the beginning of a bull run. As the traders have shifted focus back to the privacy tokens, the XMR price is believed to maintain a strong upswing and reach a 4-digit figure soon. 

As seen in the above chart, the traders have been accumulating the token regardless of the price volatility, reflected by the Accumulation/Distribution levels. Besides, the weekly RSI, which held firmly within the upper bands, just surpassed the upper threshold and entered the overbought zone. However, the rise in the zone is yet to be validated, which could happen with the bullish weekly close above $700. This move may keep the technicals within the bullish range, preventing corrections. Following this move, the Monero price may maintain a strong ascending trend and reach $1000. 

The Bottom Line!

While Bitcoin and Ethereum remain range-bound and the broader market waits for the next volatility trigger, the real action has shifted to rotation trades. Dash, Story, and Monero are capturing the day’s momentum, and follow-through in MYX Finance and Chiliz signals that traders are still willing to chase strength—just not across the board. If BTC/ETH stay stable, these winners can extend on volume; if majors slip, expect sharp pullbacks and fast profit-taking. Manage risk tightly, size down, and only trade setups with clear invalidation.
