Qtum (QTUM) & Vertcoin (VTC) to Undergo Halving in December – Multi Coin Analysis
In this article, BeInCrypto will take a look at ten cryptocurrencies that have interesting developments lined up for the month of November. These developments could potentially have a positive effect on their price.

- Current Price: $645.84
- Market Cap: $107 Billion
- Market Cap Rank: #3
BNB is the native token of Binance, one the most popular cryptocurrency exchanges in the world. It serves to pay transaction fees at a lower cost.
BNB implemented its Hard Fork called “Bruno” on the last day of November. It introduced a new burning mechanism and sped up the node synchronization process.
BNB is following a descending resistance line, and has been doing so since reaching an all-time high price on May 10. It is currently making its fifth breakout attempt.
If successful, the next resistance areas above the all-time high would be at $822 and $985.
Lisk (LSK)
- Current Price: $3.65
- Market Cap: $471 Million
- Market Cap Rank: #162
Lisk is a blockchain platform that focuses on application creation. It allows developers to build their own applications. The platform is creating an ecosystem of blockchain applications that can interact with each other. So far, numerous applications have been built on the platform.

LSK has been gradually moving upwards while following an ascending support line since Aug. It has bounced on this line twice (green icons), on Sept 29 and Nov 19.
Once it manages to break out from the $3.80 resistance area, it is likely to increase at an accelerated rate.
Qtum (QTUM)
- Current Price: $16.02
- Market Cap: $1.584 Billion
- Market Cap Rank: #81
QTUM is an open-source blockchain platform. Its goal is to combine the individual strength of Bitcoin and Ethereum into one. Therefore, it uses the Unspent Transaction Output (UTXO) model from BTC, while adding smart contracts and decentralized applications.
The first QTUM halving will transpire on Dec 1. Halvenings have often had a positive effect on a token’s price.
QTUM has bounced at the $14 horizontal support area (green icon). The area previously acted as resistance, and has now turned to support. Currently, the token is attempting to break out from a descending parallel channel.
If successful, it could increase towards the next resistance area at $22.
Chainlink (LINK)
- Current Price: $26.57
- Market Cap: $12.4 Billion
- Market Cap Rank: #20

TLM broke from the $0.37 horizontal area on Nov 23, and returned to validated it as support (green icon) two days later. Previously, the resistance had held since late July.
If the token continues to increase, the next resistance would be at $0.76.

STX reached a new all-time high price of $3.25 on Dec 1. While it has been decreasing since, it is potentially initiating a bounce at the $2.50 horizontal support area (green icon).
This is the previous all-time high resistance area and coincides with the previous descending resistance line.

XLM has been increasing alongside an ascending support line since July 20. More recently, it bounced at the line on Nov 28 (green icon).

- Market Cap Rank: #146
