3 Altcoins That Might Just Make You Look Clever This Weekend | August 23-24

by

The crypto universe, already a crashing rollercoaster with the grace of an untrained circus act, has taken a little stumble from its shiny $4.08 trillion peak-yes, trillion with a T-and now hovers mockingly around $3.89 trillion. Less than a week ago, it was like watching a high-wire act, and now it’s more like a clown losing his footing. The usual suspects-smart contract platforms and DeFi tokens-have led the charge down the hill, featuring the kind of dramatic slide that would make even the most hardened HODLer reconsider their life choices. But amidst this chaos, a few brave altcoins are strutting around like they’ve just discovered a secret stash of cryptocurrency ambrosia.

Our crack team of crypto sleuths has handpicked three tokens-yes, only three-that are flashing bullish signals loud enough to wake up the neighbors. And one of them? It’s even enjoying a bit of whale love, which is about as exciting as a lip-syncing cat video, but in crypto form.

Zcash (ZEC)

If privacy-centric coins had a popularity contest, Zcash would probably be too shy to enter-until now. Recently, Zcash has bounced back from months of sideways snooze fest, and it’s up an impressive 9% in a single day. Clearly, someone’s tickled by its prospects.

On the 12-hour chart, ZEC is pushing against resistance at $43.48, which sounds like a password to a secret nightclub-but it’s really just a price point. The real excitement? The 20-day EMA (red line) is about to cross above the 50-day EMA (orange line). Think of it as the financial version of the gym finally deciding to lift weights instead of just flexing.

This crossover is often a sneaky little sign that bullish trendiness is about to take hold. Meanwhile, the Bull Bear Power indicator has turned positively bullish, meaning the buyers are whispering sweet nothings into the market’s ear. If this rally holds, ZEC might aim for $45.99 or even $47.12, but only if it can close above the magic $43.48. Fail that, and it might just retreat to the cozy safety of $39.60, like a puppy seeking shelter after a fireworks display.

Chainlink (LINK)

Chainlink continues to strut around as the oracle that everyone secretly wishes they understood. Recent on-chain activity has been more active than a caffeinated squirrel, with whales scooping up 1.09 million LINK, which is roughly $27 million shovelled in over the past week-enough to buy a modest yacht or two. There’s confidence around, and it’s not just because someone finally found where the crypto basement is.

Technically speaking, LINK has been aimlessly wandering around the $24.95 mark, caught between Fibonacci retracement levels-like a shopper stuck between two sale signs. Breakout above $26.76 could send it soaring past $28.23 and maybe even tap on the door of $30, which psychologically feels like the crypto equivalent of a pat on the back.

The recent dip? Just the universe offering a perfect little entry point, especially with whales throwing cash around, which is always a good sign unless you’re trying to buy low and sell high without it turning into an episode of “Crypto: The Spoiled Rich Edition.” A dip below $21.34 would be a dead giveaway that bullish fervor has gone into hibernation, so keep an eye out.

Toncoin (TON)

Toncoin’s been quietly making a name for itself, and honestly, it’s harder to ignore now. Trading at around $3.28, it’s nestled within a gentle upward-sloping channel-like a squirrel climbing a tree after a good nut haul. Resistance looms at $3.35, but a breakout could send Tonsky whirling toward $3.51 or even $3.70, like a rocket fueled by genuine investor optimism and an extra shot of espresso.

A sneaky divergence is at play: while the RSI shows a lower low, the price is just a whisker above its previous high-sort of like having a slightly higher GPA than last semester but with a lower attendance record. This classic sign suggests buyers are quietly accumulating momentum.

Support comes from the fact that Verb Technology’s massive treasury backing TON and Ledger Live’s integration of TON staking are bolstering confidence. So, this isn’t just wishful thinking-it’s a carefully calculated gamble with some solid fundamentals behind it. But, fair warning-if it slips below $3.18 or dips under $3.09, the bullish dream might turn into a bearish nightmare, and everyone will have to rethink their assumptions.
