Crypto Market Cap Rises: These 7 Altcoins are in the Spotlight!

Jakarta, Pintu News – The crypto market is on a roll, with TOTALCAP setting a new record high after breaking through a key level and showing strong momentum on August 11, 2025.

Since April, Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and XRP (XRP) have been the main movers, but small-cap altcoins seem to be gearing up for a big price surge of their own.

Let’s take a look at some charts to identify the altcoins worth paying attention to in August, according to CCN.

Why are Crypto Prices Rising?

The crypto market capitalization is starting to enter the current uptrend phase after successfully breaking the descending resistance trend line and retesting it as a support level (black circle) in April 2025.

Since the trendline has been in place since the previous record high, this retest is a strong signal that a new uptrend has begun.

In July, the crypto market capitalization broke through short-term resistance again (dotted line) and today reached a new record high. The strength of this trend was evident last week when TOTALCAP formed a bullish engulfing candlestick pattern (green icon).

Momentum indicators are also supporting this rally. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is at 70, while the Moving Average Convergence/Divergence (MACD) continues to move positively.

An RSI movement above 70 is usually the phase where the price increase takes place the fastest. The first area of resistance is at $4.40 trillion, which is formed from the 1.61 external Fibonacci retracement of the previous drop.

Who Leads the Rally?

So far, Bitcoin and other large-cap altcoins such as Ethereum (ETH) and XRP have recorded significant price increases, becoming the main drivers of the altcoin season in 2025.

The biggest laggards are the altcoins outside the top 10, which haven’t even been able to double in price since the low point in April.

Even so, the chart of the small-cap altcoin looks very bullish, forming a 1-2/1-2 wave pattern (green and black) since the April low.

If this calculation is correct, the small altcoins will soon enter the fastest rising phase, which is sub-wave three of wave three. RSI and MACD support this bullish prediction. MACD has formed a bullish cross, while RSI is above the 50 level (black circle).

As such, the most promising altcoins for August are likely to come from outside the top 10, as the chart projects a rise of at least 85% to reach a market capitalization of $571 billion in the next few weeks.

If this level does not become a temporary top, the next resistance target is at $6.67 trillion.

List of 7 Altcoins to Watch Out For

The most promising altcoin for August is forming a bullish 1-2/1-2 wave pattern and has entered sub-wave three of wave three.

Chainlink (LINK) and Pendle (PENDLE) broke through resistance levels last week and managed to set new annual highs. With little resistance above current prices, their rallies are likely to continue throughout August.

Avalanche (AVAX) and Sui (SUI) have similar formations, but both have yet to break resistance. This opens up the opportunity for them to catch up soon.

Litecoin (LTC) and Bitcoin Cash (BCH) are also showing interesting formations, as they have broken out of a symmetrical triangle pattern formed over six years.

Meanwhile, the price of XRP managed to break out of its triangle last December, then surged more than 200% in just one month.
