#TopContentChallenge# 3 Altcoins Possible to Reach Highs in the Third Week of August.
Cryptocurrency markets have been taking a serious hit over the past week. Bitcoin is currently trading below $116,000 and has lost 5.3% of its value over the past seven days. Ethereum, meanwhile, is trading below $4,300 and, like many other altcoins, is in the red.
However, despite this general decline, three altcoins are quietly defying the trend. If you're looking to capture assets on the brink of price discovery, you should take a closer look at these three.
Epic Chain (EPIC)
EPIC, a Ripple-backed project, focuses on real-world assets. It's rapidly gaining momentum as one of the top Real-World Asset (RWA) plays in the cryptocurrency world. Over the past 90 days, it has steadily gained popularity among major investors.
The real strength lies in on-chain metrics. EPIC's Smart Money holdings have increased by 53.47% in the last three months, indicating accumulation by whales and early investors.
At the same time, cryptocurrency exchange balances have fallen by 15.17%, meaning fewer tokens are available for immediate sale—a classic sign of an impending supply shock. This outflow also suggests that long-term investors are moving their holdings to cold storage or preparing for redemption. Even the top 100 EPIC addresses have added over 12 million tokens to their holdings.
Technically, EPIC is already in a strong uptrend, up nearly 36% on a weekly basis. The price has broken cleanly above $2.53, invalidating previous resistance zones, and is currently trading at $2.92, just 4% below its all-time high (ATH) of $3.02.
The next significant level is $3.03 (a Fibonacci extension target), and any close above it could send the token into uncharted price territory. If the momentum continues, EPIC could be one of the first altcoins to trigger a true price discovery this cycle.
However, if EPIC quickly falls below $2.53, the entire structure could remain range-bound. While this wouldn't invalidate the uptrend, the vision of reaching a new all-time high could be significantly delayed.
Saros (SAROS)
Saros is a Solana-based superapp that combines DeFi, payments, and NFTs. It's designed to provide users with a seamless, all-in-one Web3 experience.
Last week, whales added 0.29% more SAROS to their wallets, a small but significant increase. Even more striking, SAROS balances on cryptocurrency exchanges dropped by 58.33%, a significant surge for this niche token.
This suggests HODLing, but also indicates preparation for protocol adoption. It's a setup that often foreshadows explosive movements.
This altcoin is currently trading around $0.39, just 5% below its all-time high of $0.41. On the daily chart, it is consolidating below the $0.39 resistance. A confirmed break above $0.40 and then $0.41 could push SAROS into price discovery mode.
On the other hand, if SAROS's price falls below $0.37, the entire bullish structure could be invalidated in the short term.
BNBUSD
BNB continues to defy market expectations. The token is currently trading within 4% of its all-time high.
What makes BNB so attractive about reaching a new all-time high is that despite being a large market capitalization token, it has been charting positive figures over the past week, up almost 3% while other giants like BTC and ETH have corrected significantly.
BNB's previous uptrend pushed the price towards $866. However, it failed to break above this level and formed lower highs. If the BNB price can break above $866, it will enter price discovery mode again. The next price target is around $882.
BNBUSD is currently trading around $834 following a 3.4% daily decline. The chart shows relatively stable support just above $812. A drop below this level would hinder any hopes of reaching a new all-time high.
Meanwhile, the Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) is still near neutral territory (0.01) and is trending slightly positive, suggesting that inflows are present but not strong. It doesn't yet confirm a major accumulation phase for this altcoin, but it doesn't signal a full-scale dump either. A break above 0.02 would confirm strong inflows.
