The Altcoin Shift Is Closer Than Most Expect: 5 Coins to Buy Before the Next 90-Day Market Shake-Up
CryptoCompass editorial visual for markets coverage.
  • The TOTAL3 market capitalization is holding an important trendline, suggesting that altcoin selling pressure may be weakening.
  • The next 90 days could provide key signals on whether capital is rotating from Bitcoin into altcoins.
  • UNI, HBAR, GIGA, ALGO, and NOT represent different crypto sectors that could respond differently to improving market conditions.

The cryptocurrency market could be entering an important period as traders monitor signs of renewed strength across alternative digital assets. Recent attention has focused on the TOTAL3 chart, which tracks the combined market capitalization of cryptocurrencies excluding Bitcoin, Ethereum, and stablecoins. Although this development does not confirm an upcoming altcoin rally, it provides an important level for monitoring market direction.

If the market has a similar setup, the coming 90 days could be of special significance. If the market capitalization of the altcoins gets a boost, some investors may want to take another look at projects that have been languishing. But it would probably require the stability of Bitcoin, trading volume, liquidity, and investor appetite for the cryptocurrency to provide any meaningful rotation. Instead of targeting all cryptocurrencies to surge at the same time, market participants can concentrate on initiatives that have a known ecosystem, building, and use case. Some cryptocurrencies to watch this week are Uniswap, Hedera, Gigachad, Algorand, and Notcoin. 

Uniswap (UNI) Targets Continued DeFi Adoption

Despite its many other roles, Uniswap is still one of the key decentralized exchanges in the Ethereum ecosystem, facilitating token swaps and liquidity provision. Its relevance may grow with the return of market activity, as it allows more people to be involved in the decentralized finance sector. Key areas that will continue to drive UNI's performance will be trading volume, protocol revenue, governance progress, and competition. 

Hedera (HBAR) Focuses on Enterprise Blockchain Adoption

Hedera's attention is on a distributed ledger technology for applications that include payments, tokenization, and enterprise services. If the adoption of institutional blockchain picks up, its network activity will gain further traction. But actual network usage and continued demand will determine how the market will perform for HBAR.

Gigachad (GIGA) Remains Exposed to Meme Coin Sentiment

Gigachad is an example of a speculative meme coin, where market sentiment and community participation can affect its price movements. If it recovers more broadly, small-sized cryptos may be more popular. However, GIGA has a high level of volatility, with its valuation being more related to standard financial utility. 

Algorand (ALGO) Builds Around Blockchain Infrastructure

Algorand offers blockchain services for decentralized applications, payments, and tokenized assets. This may impact investor interest in the long term based on its ability to attract developers and stimulate network activity. ALGO has a significant challenge with competition between Layer-1 networks. 

Notcoin (NOT) Depends on Telegram-Based Ecosystem Activity

Notcoin has become popular via Telegram's gaming ecosystem and is still integrated in the entire TON community. Regular usage of apps via Telegram may help to keep interest in the project alive. But factors such as user retention, demand for tokens and ecosystem growth will become crucial. 

What Could Happen Over the Next 90 Days?

In the coming three months, the cryptocurrency sector could see a wider recovery or a further consolidation. Any "confirmation signals" such as a continued TOTAL3 recovery, increased trading volumes, and increased stability in the Bitcoin market would be helpful. For now, the five cryptocurrencies are still candidates to be on the market watchlist and are not confirmed breakout opportunities until such conditions come into play.
