3 US Crypto Stocks to Watch Today: MARA, CORZ, RIOT

US crypto stocks are rallying as Bitcoin pushes above $92,000, and the top gainers are all tied to mining operations. MARA Holdings, Core Scientific (CORZ), and Riot Platforms (RIOT) are leading the charge, each posting double-digit gains or more since yesterday’s close.

These companies are all heavily involved in Bitcoin mining, making them especially sensitive to moves in BTC’s price. With fresh momentum and key technical levels in play, all three stocks are ones to watch closely today.

MARA Holdings (MARA)

MARA Holdings was the best-performing US crypto stock yesterday, closing with a sharp 14.40% gain and rising another 3.41% in pre-market trading.

This marks its highest closing level since March 25, signaling a potential shift in momentum after nearly a month of sideways action. Despite the recent surge, the stock is still down approximately 16% year-to-date in 2025.

MARA Holdings operates primarily by focusing on Bitcoin mining and digital asset infrastructure.

Technically, MARA Holdings is approaching a key resistance level at $14.68, according to pre-market data. If this resistance is broken, the next upside target could be $16.24.

The current Relative Strength Index (RSI) stands at 64.90, suggesting increasing strength but not yet overbought conditions. Furthermore, the exponential moving average (EMA) lines are nearing a golden cross formation — a bullish technical pattern.

If this crossover confirms, MARA could gain additional momentum and potentially reach the $16.24 level in the short term.

Core Scientific (CORZ)

Core Scientific (CORZ) closed yesterday with a strong 8.29% gain and is up another 8.09% in pre-market trading, making it the biggest gainer among US crypto stocks this morning.

This rally has caught market attention, but it comes in the context of a broader downtrend—CORZ is still down 50% year-to-date. Core Scientific is a blockchain infrastructure provider specializing in high-performance Bitcoin mining operations.

The company hosts and operates some of the largest mining facilities in North America.

Technically, CORZ is now approaching a significant resistance level at $7.99. If that barrier is broken with volume, the stock could look to test the next target at $8.49.

However, its current Relative Strength Index (RSI) is at 48.45, placing it in neutral territory—neither overbought nor oversold. This indicates that, depending on momentum, there may still be room for price movement in either direction.

With its recent gains and room to run before hitting overbought levels, CORZ could continue climbing if market sentiment stays bullish.

Riot Platforms (RIOT)

Riot Platforms had a strong session yesterday, closing up 13.20%, and is continuing that momentum with a 4.36% gain in pre-market trading.

This recent surge follows weeks of subdued price action and signals a potential shift in sentiment. RIOT is a Bitcoin mining and digital infrastructure company that operates large-scale facilities and leverages its energy-efficient operations to support blockchain networks.

It plays a central role in the North American crypto mining industry and is often seen as a proxy for broader Bitcoin market moves.

Despite the rally, RIOT is approaching a critical resistance level at $7.25. If it manages to break through and build upward momentum, the stock could potentially climb as high as $8.82.

The exponential moving averages (EMAs) still point to a bearish trend. This suggests caution until a clear reversal is confirmed.

On the positive side, RIOT’s Relative Strength Index (RSI) has climbed to 54.12, up from 37.3 yesterday. This shows a shift from bearish to neutral. The rising RSI reflects growing buying pressure. If this continues, it could signal an early trend reversal.
