Let’s take a closer look at today’s altcoins showing breakout signals. We’ll explain what the coin is, then dive into the trading charts and provide some analysis to help you decide.
1. BitTorrent (BTT)
BitTorrent BTT is a popular peer-to-peer (P2P) file-sharing and torrent platform which has become increasingly decentralised in recent years. Since its acquisition, BitTorrent has added various new tools, with a dedicated native cryptocurrency token, BTT, released in February 2019. BTT was launched on TRON’s own blockchain, using its TRC-10 standard. According to its official literature, BitTorrent is currently the world’s “largest decentralised P2P communications protocol”.
BTT Price Analysis
At the time of writing, BTT is ranked the 50th cryptocurrency globally and the current price is US$0.00000201. Let’s take a look at the chart below for price analysis:
BTT has been in a higher-timeframe downtrend since its 4,790% pump during Q1 2021. From late June 2021, the price has ranged between approximately $0.000004598 and $0.000002677.
Old swing lows near the current price recently broke. This approximate area, near the higher-timeframe range low, could offer support again on higher-timeframes.
However, the current macro market conditions suggest further downside. Multiple retests of a level – in this case, the fourth retest – and traders “selling the news” of February 22’s Mainnet launch increase the probability of this region turning to resistance.
The daily chart suggests that a zone around the February open, from $0.0000020300 to $0.0000021078, may offer resistance – although the price might reach as high as $0.0000021799.
A break of this resistance could run short stops into higher-timeframe resistance around $0.000002557 – near the 2022 yearly open. If the price does reach this far, volatile price action in this area hints at resistance between $0.000002557 and $0.000003382.
Short-term rallies may occur, but the price is more likely to find a long-term bottom in an inefficient area above 2020’s accumulation range. This area reaches from $0.000001042 to $0.0000005337, with $0.0000009500 starting higher-probability support.
2. Iost (IOST)
IOST‘s blockchain infrastructure is open-source and designed to be secure and scalable, all in the hope that it will serve as the backbone for online services in the future. One of the biggest challenges that IOST aims to resolve centres on how big companies may not be able to embrace blockchains in a customer-facing environment unless they are scalable. The Internet of Services Token is put forward as a way of tackling this problem.
IOST Price Analysis
At the time of writing, IOST is ranked the 134th cryptocurrency globally and the current price is US$0.02334. Let’s take a look at the chart below for price analysis:
IOST rallied 436% during Q3 2021 and almost set new all-time highs before selling off 78% into its January 2022 low.
A retest of the 2022 yearly open, near $0.03125, started a new wave of selling in early February. The subsequent break of the February monthly open created a new area of resistance between $0.02459 and $0.02643 – an area that is also inefficiently traded and has confluence with the 9 and 18 EMAs.
If this resistance breaks, a move toward the 2021 yearly open might find resistance between $0.02874 and $0.03200. Any potential move through this resistance will likely find a ceiling near an inefficient higher-timeframe level at $0.03499.
Old support near $0.01889 created a sharp bullish reaction in late January. This region, down to $0.01774, could provide support again.
However, a longer-term bottom is more likely to be found between $0.01427 and $0.00696, perhaps after Q1’s releases finalise, where higher-timeframe charts show an inefficiently traded area.
3. Swipe (SXP)
Swipe SXP is a platform that looks to form a bridge between the fiat and cryptocurrency worlds with its API that is designed to create global payment cards powered by its native SXP token. Swipe also has an on-chain product called Swipe Swap, an Automated Market Maker which is forked by Uniswap, SushiSwap and THORchain, and is powered by Swipechain. This ecosystem is powered by the Swipe Token SXP, which functions as the fuel for the Swipe Network, and is used for paying transaction fees and securing Swipechain through bonding and governance.
SXP Price Analysis
At the time of writing, SXP is ranked the 178th cryptocurrency globally and the current price is US$1.28. Let’s take a look at the chart below for price analysis:
SXP retraced 81% from its May 2021 all-time high and is entering an area of possible higher-timeframe support.
Multiple resistance areas on the daily chart converge between $1.303 and $1.418, with the February monthly open and the 9 and 18 EMAs marking the middle of this zone.
However, an inefficient area on higher timeframes that could offer support starts nearby at $1.244, although $1.203 and below may be a more sensitive area. This proximity of resistance and support might trigger consolidation in the short term.
This higher-timeframe possible support covers a wide area and could fill down to $0.742, where January 2021’s bullrun began. Bears may be taking profits in this area. Meanwhile, bulls might wait for signs of genuine demand (not just mild rallies from short-covering) to begin more significant accumulation.
A break of the current resistance might reach overlapping old consolidation ranges between $1.532 and $1.641. If this potential resistance breaks, the 2022 yearly open near $2.025 might mark the next possible resistance level. A move to this level could signify the start of a more extensive accumulation range or trend reversal.
