May 23 Price Analysis: BTC Stalls Below Key Averages as HYPE and ZEC Extend Rallies

On May 23, Bitcoin hovered in the mid-$70,000s and remained capped below major moving averages, with the 200-day average in the low $80,000s still acting as the key barrier. Hyperliquid (HYPE) pushed into price discovery in the low $60s after clearing resistance in the high $40s, while Zcash (ZEC) surged toward $700 but showed signs of unstable, momentum-driven swings. Dogecoin (DOGE) stayed boxed between roughly $0.10 support and $0.11–$0.12 resistance, and Ethereum (ETH) continued to look weaker than BTC while trading below a declining 200-day average around the mid-$2,500s.
