TON Leads Altcoin Gainers

From the five altcoins that increased the most last week, TON increased more than double that of the second-place altcoin.

The TON price has increased since Oct. 13 in what is likely a five-wave upward movement (black). If correct, the price is in wave three. The sub-wave count is given in white, indicating that the TON price is in sub-wave four. 

The most likely target for the local top is at $3.43, created by the 2.61 external Fib retracement of wave two.

A decrease below the wave one high (red line) of $1.99 would invalidate this bullish hypothesis.

XDC Approaches Crucial Resistance

XDC has decreased below a descending resistance line since Aug. 11. The downward movement led to a low of $0.018 on Dec. 7. The price has been moving upward since and is approaching the descending resistance line.

Currently, the line also coincides with the $0.026 resistance area, increasing its significance.

If the XDC price fails to break out, it could fall toward the yearly lows at $0.018. On the other hand, a breakout could accelerate the rate of increase toward $0.032.

Will OKB Reaches Highest Price Since March

Out of the five altcoins analyzed, OKB is the one that has increased the most relative to its yearly lows. OKB price has been moving upward since June. After three unsuccessful attempts (red icons), it broke out above the $22.50 resistance area on Dec. 13. It has been increasing since and reached a high of $24.60 on Dec. 16. This is the highest price since March 2022.

If the upward movement continues, the next resistance would be at $32.30. Conversely, a daily close below $22.50 would indicate that the trend is bearish.

BSV Makes Breakout Attempt

The BSV price has increased alongside an ascending support line since Nov. 9. The upward movement led to a high of $48 on Dec. 12.

The BSV price fell sharply afterward, but created a long lower wick, validating the ascending support line. It made another attempt at breaking out above the $48 resistance area on Dec. 16.

Reaching a daily close above the $48 resistance area would be a decisive bullish sign, while a rejection could cause a drop toward the ascending support line at $43.

LDO Continues Range Consolidation

The LDO price has been moving upward since Nov. 9, when it validated the descending resistance line from which it previously broke out.

However, the upward movement has been very gradual. LDO is stuck in a range between $0.93 and $1.28. A breakout above the top of the range could catalyze an upward movement toward $1.80. On the other hand, a breakdown could initiate a fall toward $0.40.
