In today’s Altcoin Watchlist, I cover 7 different Altcoins, specifically:
Ethereum (ETH/USD)
Algorand (ALGO/USDT)
Alpha Finance (ALPHA/USDT)
Cosmos (ATOM/USDT)
Nervos Network (CKB/USDT)
Hathor (HTR/USDT)
Verasity (VRA/USDT)
Ethereum - ETH/USD
Ethereum recently broke out from its Ascending Triangle but never actually retested it.
It just broke out without interruption in the trend, rallying towards the blue $3440 resistance, which a Monthly resistance.
Of course, breaking the $3440 level would mean ETH would break back into the $3440-$4300 range, which would mean ETH would have a chance to move towards the top of that range over time.
However, until that happens ETH is still inside a narrower range, the $3000-$3440 range, with the $3000 level being the Range Low and also the top of the Ascending Triangle that ETH didn’t retest.
So this blue $3440 resistance here could reject ETH to the $3000 level for a retest, especially since a rejection from here is what happened the last time ETH rallied here in an uptrend back in September 2021.
And if the rejection here causes a really volatile retest of the Ascending Triangle triangle (remember the downside wick in September 2021?) then I could see price even go as low as $2600 to the green Higher Low and close the Monthly above $3000.
That would be a panicky scenario but one that would nonetheless maintain macro bullish market structure.
In any case, bullish upon support flip of $3440 but in the absence of that, $3000 is the level I’m watching for a retest and $2600 for a volatile retest.
Algorand - ALGO/USDT
Algorand was able to Monthly Close above the Monthly red $0.83 level, thus maintaining it as support.
But ALGO has a history of producing downside wicks below the red $0.83 level; ALGO has done this in recent history as well as back in mid-2021.
In mid-2021, ALGO would form a Diamond-Shaped bottom with its downside wicks below the red $0.83 level.
What’s interesting is that ALGO also has a chance at forming the same Diamond-Shaped bottom this time around as well.
It has already formed a Lower Low with its wicks - if ALGO is able to wick into the green Higher Low I’ve outlined and still Monthly Close above the red $0.83 level then history may very well repeat itself and ALGO will follow the blue path to ~$1.40.
