Altcoin Performance Over 90 Days: Virtuals Leads with 8106% Gains

The last quarter of 2024 proved bullish for digital assets, driven by the victory of pro-crypto candidate Donald Trump in the 2024 US presidential elections. This development propelled Bitcoin (BTC) to a record high of $108,000. Among cryptocurrencies, Virtuals Protocol (VIRTUAL) emerged as the highest gainer over the past 90 days.

Data from CoinMarketCap shows Virtuals Protocol surged by 8106% in Q4 2024. The AI and Metaverse platform gained traction with increasing adoption of its AI-driven virtual environments.

Trailing Virtuals, the Solana-based meme coin Fartcoin (FARTCOIN) recorded a 2191% gain, reaching $1.45 and attaining a valuation of $1.45 billion. This placed it ahead of 939 companies listed on the Russell 3000 Index.

The weekly chart provided by TradingView below shows that the altcoin rally is gradually picking up pace again as the Relative Strength Index (RSI) reads a value of 64.90 which means that the buying pressure is still quite high and the chances of the resumption of the uptrend are high. The gradient of the line also suggests upward momentum in the near future.

The MACD indicator remains bullish with the MACD line continuing its path above the signal line (red). However, the intensity of the MACD histogram has started to decline which means that the capital flowing into altcoins is not high enough.
