MKR and CRV: MKR leads, CRV resists after RWA push

Maker (MKR) and Curve (CRV) are in focus as both ecosystems roll out new stablecoin and RWA yield strategies. The article frames this as a potential DeFi “comeback,” but with price action still in repair mode. For MKR, the main claim is that Maker’s Endgame is operational and its RWA-treasury vault approach is turning DAI into a more consistent yield engine. Technically, MKR is described as being in a clean uptrend and trading above the 7-, 30-, and 200-day moving averages. Key indicators cited: MACD is positive and RSI-14 is around 55 (suggesting room before any overbought “euphoria”). The near-term outlook for MKR is a base case of roughly -15% to +30%, with bulls needing to defend support near the 30-day SMA at ~$1,764. A stronger bullish path targets ~$2,400+, while a bearish scenario points to a possible test of the ~$1,600 area and potentially the 200-day average near ~$1,673 if DeFi sentiment fades. For CRV, the article says Curve has stabilized via ecosystem upgrades (including LlamaLend) and new RWA-backed liquidity pools, but price is still capped by long-term resistance. CRV is above its shorter moving averages (7-day ~$0.229, 30-day ~$0.219) but remains below a major ceiling at the 200-day SMA (~$0.360). MACD has only recently turned positive, implying the bottom may be forming, but momentum is not yet “explosive.” The base case is choppy range behavior (-20% to +30%), roughly $0.20–$0.30. Bullish confirmation would require reclaiming the 200-day zone ($0.36–$0.45). Bearish risk is a retest of ~$0.18 lows. Overall, the article suggests MKR is the steadier trend trade and CRV is the higher-beta “laggard” that needs to clear its 200-day resistance for a full blue-chip rotation. Traders are effectively being told to treat both MKR and CRV as “early repair” until longer-term trend confirmation arrives—especially for MKR and CRV versus the 200-day signals.
