The Made in USA coin index closed its first week of September with gains of more than 7%, driven mostly by sharp moves in tokens like Worldcoin and WLFI. But while those now face the risk of quick pullbacks, attention is shifting toward three other tokens.
All of these tokens display strong bullish chart patterns, whilst drawing steady inflows from whales and smart money. Together, they highlight where traders may find the next wave of momentum before the September rate cuts.
Chainlink (LINK)
The first coin on the list of Made in USA coins to watch is Chainlink (LINK). The token has had a subdued week, slipping 2.1%.
SponsoredOver the past 30 days, LINK is up only 5.6% — a relatively calm stretch compared to the broader crypto market. But behind the price, accumulation has been heavy.
Over the past 30 days, whales increased their holdings by 28.48%, adding about 1.10 million LINK, now worth roughly $24.7 million at $22.40.
Exchanges tell an even stronger story. Balances fell 2.33%, with 6.46 million LINK moving out, equal to nearly $145 million. This means not only whales but also retail and smaller holders are taking tokens off exchanges.
A big technical signal comes from the Relative Strength Index (RSI). RSI measures the strength of price moves on a scale of 0 to 100, with values below 30 showing oversold conditions and above 70 showing overbought conditions.
What makes Chainlink stand out is a hidden bullish divergence. Between July 1 and August 2, LINK reached a higher low, while the RSI slid lower, setting up a rally that pushed the price from $15.41 to $27.84 — a gain of approximately 80%.

For price levels, LINK holds support at $21.38. If this fails, the next downside levels are $18.63 and $15.44. On the upside, resistance sits at $24.74, and a clear break above $27.86 could set LINK up for another leg higher.
Pudgy Penguins (PENGU)
PENGU, the token tied to Pudgy Penguins, has corrected by about 17% over the past 30 days. But in the past 24 hours, it bounced 8%, bringing 7-day gains to 11.6%. This puts PENGU among the top made in USA coins to watch for the second week of September.
Smart money holdings jumped 6.65% over the past 24 hours, rising to 75.87 million. Smart money often positions ahead of short-term price moves, so this inflow is a notable signal—more so before the expected rate cuts, due in a few days.
It is worth noting that smart money takes positions expecting quick rebounds and gains, unlike long-term holders.
SponsoredAnd the strongest sign in that regard comes from the Relative Strength Index (RSI). Between July 7 and September 6, PENGU’s price made a higher low, while RSI made a lower low. This is known as a hidden bullish divergence.
Such divergences usually suggest that, despite short-term weakness in momentum, the broader uptrend is still intact and could resume. For traders, it often marks the start of a new leg higher, something smart money might be putting their hopes on.
If momentum holds, PENGU faces resistance at $0.032. Clearing that could open the way to $0.036 and $0.041. Conversely, a break below $0.027 would invalidate this setup and risk a slide toward $0.017.
Cardano (ADA)
Cardano rounds out the list of made in USA coins to watch, with signs of a rebound forming. Over the past week, ADA has slipped slightly, but whale activity tells a different story.
Sponsored SponsoredThe cohort holding 10 million to 100 million ADA has expanded its stash from 12.92 billion to 13.06 billion since August 28. That’s an addition of 140 million ADA, worth nearly $117.6 million at current prices around $0.84.
This heavy accumulation lines up with a bullish shift on the 4-hour chart. The 20-period exponential moving average (EMA) or the red line has crossed above the 50 EMA (orange line), and the price is now trading above all major EMA lines, including the 200 EMA. Traders often see such “golden crossovers” as early signs of a bigger rebound.
An exponential moving average (EMA) is a line that tracks price trends by giving more weight to recent moves. Traders often watch when shorter EMAs cross above longer ones as a signal that momentum is turning bullish.
Sponsored SponsoredThe 20-EMA line is now closing in on the deep blue or the 200-EMA line. Another bullish cross can help the Cardano price cross key hurdles.
For ADA, the next hurdle is the $0.85 resistance. Clearing that zone could open the path to $0.86–$0.87. A sustained breakout above $0.90 might set the stage for a push toward $0.96, a level not tested in weeks. On the downside, losing $0.80 would weaken this bullish view.
With whales piling in and technicals improving, ADA may be primed for another leg higher in September.
