3 Altcoins Steal the Spotlight This Week – Are They Poised for a Recovery?

Jakarta, Pintu News – As the weekend approaches, several altcoins are starting to show early signals that could determine price movements in the short term. From bullish momentum returning to sharp declines indicating potential trend exhaustion, the market is currently presenting a mixed technical picture.

Here is an analysis of three tokens that investors should monitor ahead of the weekend, according to a report by BeInCrypto.

Decred (DCR)

Decred recorded a strong bullish movement, rallying sharply up to $24.70 after breaking back through the $20.22 pivot level. This impulsive candlestick confirmed that buyers were back in control of the market after forming a higher low structure above $17.45. This move shifted the short-term momentum to bullish convincingly after a long consolidation phase.

As long as the price holds above $22.84, upside momentum is maintained, with $25.94 as the next key resistance. If the daily closing price is able to stay above $25.94, further upside potential is open towards the $30.06 area.

Interestingly, DCR shows a weak negative correlation with Bitcoin of -0.09, indicating that DCR’s movements are relatively less affected by general BTC volatility.

The bullish scenario will be invalidated in case of a daily close below $20.22. Failure to hold this level will shift the momentum back to neutral and open the door for a drop towards $18.79. If the $17.45 level is also broken, the higher low structure will be completely broken and confirm the return of a broader downtrend or a prolonged consolidation phase.

Polygon (POL)

Polygon continued its decline and set a new record low price of $0.0839. The altcoin briefly plummeted by 22.8% before recovering the losses slightly. The session closed with a 12.8% correction, reflecting the still strong selling pressure and weak market confidence, as POL continues to struggle to form a stable price floor.

On-chain signals provide some optimism. The Chaikin Money Flow indicator formed a bullish divergence against POL’s price movement, indicating that outflows are starting to diminish even though prices still appear weak. This shift hints at an increase in demand behind the scenes, which could help POL reclaim the $0.1024 level and continue its recovery towards the $0.1193 resistance.

However, downside risks remain high if market sentiment does not improve. Sustained bearish momentum could force POL to set a new record low again. If that happens, the bullish divergence pattern that started to form will fall, reinforcing the existing downtrend and delaying any meaningful recovery as sellers continue to dominate the price movement.

Optimism (OP)

Optimism also set a new price record low in Friday’s intraday session, dropping to $0.1579. This movement extended the downtrend that has continued to pressure prices throughout the week.

Cumulatively, OP has now corrected close to 40%, confirming the continued selling pressure and weakening investor confidence in the past few trading sessions.

Momentum indicators are signaling that selling pressure may be starting to approach a saturation phase. The Money Flow Index has almost entered the oversold area, a zone historically often associated with potential reversals.

If this signal is confirmed, it could trigger dip buying and help OP reclaim the $0.1817 level, opening up room for an increase towards $0.2128 or even $0.2506.

Conversely, bearish risks remain high if market sentiment continues to deteriorate. Failure of the price to stabilize could drag the OP down through $0.1579. The printing of a new record low would invalidate the emerging bullish divergence setup, reinforce the dominant downtrend, and delay recovery attempts as the control is still in the hands of sellers.
