Metaverse tokens
The metaverse buzz may be waning but it is still one of the hottest topics out there. In a week, that continued to mirror the negative impact of uncertainty amid the war in Ukraine, some of the leading brands continued to jump on the metaverse trademark train.
Leading Italian luxury fashion brand Versace, UK-based security firm G4S, Lebron James, and Woodstock all announced various trademark filings related to the immersive virtual world.
Overall, crypto tokens tied to the metaverse bounced from a market cap of $22.7 billion to about $23.7 billion, reflecting a recovery of about 4.4%.
Stacks (STX/USD)
Stacks is a layer-1 blockchain protocol designed to make bitcoin an open ecosystem. The platform was launched to enable developers to launch decentralised applications and smart contracts underlying the world’s leading cryptocurrency.
Bitcoin has failed to mirror the success of Ethereum and emerging proof-of-stake blockchains in creating an ecosystem that can support smart contracts, gaming, and dApps. However, Stacks is changing that with its bitcoin scaling protocol allowing the development of play-to-earn games and NFTs.
Technically, the $STX token spiked more than 83% on Thursday before quickly pulling back to trim the gains. The spike was triggered by the announcement of a $165 million fund to launch bitcoin projects on the Stacks protocol.
Technically, the $STX price has since pulled back to create an exciting opportunity for a rebound. Therefore, traders could target profits at about $1.37, or higher at $1.58. On the other hand, $1.20 and $1.05 are support levels.
GameFi (GAFI/USDT)
GameFi is a blockchain gaming aggregator that offers video game developers to launch play-to-earn games.

Technically, the $GAFI token now seems to have found a solid support level at around $22.10, creating a perfect opportunity for a rebound.
Therefore, traders could target potential rebound profits at about $23.60, or higher at $25.60.

Victoria VR $VR is another gaming token targeting the metaverse. It is a massively multiplayer online roleplaying game (MMORPG) in Virtual Reality (VR) with Realistic Graphics built on Unreal Engine.

The Immutable X token led the NFTs and Collectibles tokens’ rebound rallying by nearly 79% before easing on Sunday.
The rally was fueled by the company’s $200 million Series C fundraising, which valued it at about $2.5 billion.

This seems to have spared a delayed reaction from traders with the OGN token spiking more than 70% late on Sunday.
However, the $OGN token pulled back on Monday morning to trim the gains, creating another opportunity for a rebound.
Traders could target potential rebound profits at about $0.453. On the other hand, $0.3769 and $0.3388 are crucial support zones.
