Over the past week, crypto markets have taken a beating. Bitcoin is now trading under $116,000, slipping by 5.3% in the last 7 days. Ethereum is hovering below $4,300, also bleeding red among many other altcoins.
But amid this broader downturn, three altcoins have quietly defied the trend. If you’re looking to catch assets on the verge of price discovery, these three deserve a closer look.
Epic Chain (EPIC)
EPIC is the main token of Epic Chain, a Ripple-backed project focused on real-world assets. It’s quickly gaining traction as one of the top RWA plays in crypto. Over the past 90 days, it has steadily gained traction among the big holders.
The real strength lies in its on-chain metrics. Smart Money holdings of EPIC have surged 53.47% over the last three months, suggesting whales and early insiders are accumulating.
At the same time, exchange balances dropped 15.17%, meaning fewer tokens are available for immediate sale; a classic sign of an upcoming supply shock. This outflow also hints that long-term holders are either moving assets to cold wallets or preparing for utility use. Even the top 100 EPIC addresses have added over 12 million tokens to their stash.
Technically, EPIC is already in a strong uptrend, having risen by almost 36% week-on-week. The price broke out cleanly above $2.53, invalidated previous resistance zones, and is now hovering at $2.92, less than 4% shy of its ATH at $3.02.
The next key level is $3.03 (a Fibonacci extension target), and any close above it could send the token into unexplored price territory. If momentum holds, EPIC could be one of the first altcoins to trigger a proper price discovery this cycle.
However, if EPIC quickly dips under $2.53, the entire structure can become range-bound. Although this won’t invalidate the bullish trend, the all-time high vision might be significantly delayed.

Saros (SAROS)
Saros is a Solana-based super app that combines DeFi, payments, and NFTs in one place. It’s built to give users a smooth, all-in-one Web3 experience.
In the past week, whales added 0.29% more SAROS to their wallets, a small but significant uptick. What’s even more compelling is the 58.33% drop in SAROS balances across exchanges, a massive outflow for such a niche token.
This suggests HODLing, but also prep for protocol utility. It’s typically the kind of setup that front-runs explosive moves.
This altcoin is currently priced around $0.39, only 5% under its all-time high of $0.41. On the daily chart, it’s consolidating under the resistance of $0.39. A confirmed breakout past $0.40 and then $0.41 could put SAROS into price discovery mode.
On the flipside, if the price of SAROS breaks below $0.37, the entire bullish structure might get invalidated in the short term.
BNB (BNB)
BNB, the native altcoin of the BNB Chain ecosystem, continues to defy market odds. The token now trades within 4% of its all-time high.
What makes BNB a compelling case for an all-time high is that, despite being a large-cap token, it has been charting positive numbers over the past week, up almost 3%, while other giants like BTC and ETH have corrected substantially.
BNB’s previous uptrend pushed the price toward $866. However, it failed to break past that, creating lower highs. If the price of BNB manages to break past $866, it would again go into the price discovery mode.The next price target sits close to $882.
Binance Coin (BNB) is currently trading around $834, following a 3.4% daily drop. The chart holds a relatively stable support just above $812. Any dip under this level would hit the all-time high dreams hard.
Meanwhile, the Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) is still hovering near neutral territory (0.01), slightly positive, which implies inflows are present but not strong. It’s not yet confirming a major accumulation phase for this altcoin, but it’s not pointing to a full-scale dump either. A move past 0.02 would confirm strong inflows.
