The Weekend Wake-Up Call for Bitcoin
Over the weekend, Bitcoin (BTC) flexed its muscles, breaching the $10,000 threshold for the first time in 2020. For many currency enthusiasts, this moment felt like waking up to find the coffee maker actually worked after a night of questionable decisions. But while BTC is getting all the headlines, it seems the altcoin party is just starting.
Altcoins Rising: A Compelling Performance
Amidst the bullish Bitcoin news, several altcoins decided to crash the party and stole the spotlight. Leading the parade are Tezos (XTZ), Lisk (LSK), and Binance Coin (BNB), all of whom have shown staggering returns. Here’s a summary of their performances:
- Tezos (XTZ): Surged 118%
- Binance Coin (BNB): Up 120%
- Lisk (LSK): An outrageous 450% increase!
These altcoins clearly didn’t get the memo to remain in the background while Bitcoin dazzles, and who could blame them?
Tezos: The Underestimate No More
Tezos began to show real promise, forming a clear support and resistance structure at 0.000084 satoshis. In simpler terms, it laid down a solid foundation and said, “I’m not going anywhere!” Currently, the XTZ/BTC pair is bumping its way against a significant resistance, hovering around the 0.0002600-0.0002700 satoshis mark.
The trading volume is an important clue here. If volume rises alongside price, it’s a good sign that investors are ready to ride the wave. Should it manage to flip the 0.00257 satoshis level for support, a trip to 0.00035 looks likely, with a potential excursion up to 0.0005-0.00051 satoshis following closely behind.
Binance Coin: Riding the Future Finance Wave
Binance Coin has also been in the limelight, bolstered by the hype surrounding the launch of futures trading on the Binance platform. Investors flocked in like moths to a flame, with the BNB price breaking above $18.80 and racing towards $25.
But let’s not jump the gun. This might be a textbook ‘buy the rumor, sell the news’ situation. It’s essential for BNB to clear the $25-25.50 area with a solid daily close to maintain momentum. If it falters here, potential support areas are around $21.70 and $22.50, where buyers can maybe snatch up a bargain before the next ride.
Lisk: The Sleepy Giant Awakens
Last but not least, Lisk has exploded from a humble $0.50 to an eye-popping $2.80 in just six weeks. Talk about a glow-up! It’s been a bumpy road for Lisk, shaking off a long-term downtrend that cried out for a resurgence.
However, the journey isn’t over yet. Lisk’s swing up is one for the books due to immense volume increases. Its current battle lies around the $2.30 resistance line, and any failure to close above could trigger a retracement to seek out support around the $1.60 mark.
Gaps, Gaps, and More Gaps
One key reason for Lisk’s meteoric rise (no, not due to a spontaneous combustion) is the significant gaps between support and resistance levels in altcoin charts. Unlike the more mature Bitcoin market, altcoins can experience wild price swings due to these gaps. In LSK’s case, after 0.0001150 satoshis, the next resistance isn’t until 0.0001700 – a bountiful 50% away!
If Lisk can bust through the 0.0002270 satoshis level, expected bullish momentum could send traders to the moon! But failure means a reality check could bring it back to 0.0001700 for a second look.
