Top 3 Altcoins to Watch Amid FOMC Meeting

The cryptocurrency market records an increased volatility over the past week as anticipation builds around the upcoming FOMC meeting. Additionally, investors are closely watching the upcoming meeting as major market events could take place. While no immediate cuts are expected, investors still remain highly skeptical.

Considering the market sentiments, if Powell signals a potential rate cut, the altcoin market could record a strong comeback, however, the uncertainty looms over the market.

While some stay cautious, many consider this to be an excellent opportunity to enter into the crypto market at a discounted price tag.

Ripple’s XRP

With an intraday trading volume of $4.7 billion, the XRP price has dropped approximately 7%, highlighting increased selling pressure. Moreover, the market cap of this altcoin has dropped $126.18 billion, resulting in its dominance coming down to 3.9353%.

In the Cross EMA 50/200-day, the EMA 50-day continues recording a strong resistance around the $2.20 mark. Additionally, the 200-day shows a key reversal point just above the $2.40 level. Reclaiming the 50-day EMA plays a crucial role in this altcoin regaining momentum in the coming time.

On the other hand, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) had breached the overbought range, but the momentum was short-lived, resulting in it plunging below that range. Since then it has been recording a sharp drop and is now below the neutral point at 46.14.

A sustained bearish action may result in this altcoin retesting its lower support trend levels of $2.15 or $2 respectively. However, a bullish reversal may push the value of XRP price toward its immediate resistance levels of $2.20 or $2.40 shortly.

Solana (SOL)

After recording a strong comeback over the past few days, the SOL price has lost momentum over the recent times, resulting in it dropping over 7% today. With this, its trading value has dropped below the $150 mark again. Moreover, with a market capitalization of $77.24 billion, it has a market hold of 2.3938%.

The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) witnesses a steady decline in the green histograms. Moreover, it is forming a bearish trend by displaying a red histogram in the 4H time frame. Adding to this, the averages 12 & 26-day have experienced a bearish convergence, suggesting a negative outlook.

The Exponential Moving Averages 20, 50, 100, & 200 are all above the Solana price trend, suggesting an intense selling pressure for the altcoin in the crypto market. Considering the present sentiments, investors are suggested to monitor the price action closely.

Maintaining the SOL coin price above its $149 level could set the stage for it to retest its immediate resistance level of $155. Conversely, a sustained selling pressure may pull the value toward its pivotal support level of $142.50.

Chainlink (LINK)

Following in the footsteps, the Chainlink price has witnessed a drop of 7.25% in 24 hours with a trading volume of $518.69 million. Adding to this, it has lost 14.65% in seven days and 18.22% in the last 30 days.

The Simple Moving Average (SMA) recorded a negative crossover, highlighting increased selling-over-buying pressure for the LINK price in the market. Moreover, the Stochastic RSI indicator records a similar trend in the Chainlink chart, highlighting a bearish outlook in the upcoming time.

If the bearish rally continues, in that case, the Chainlink price may plunge toward its crucial support trendline of $12.65. Positively, a bullish reversal could push the price toward its upper resistance levels of $13.45 or $14.20, respectively.
