- A cup and handle pattern drives the recovery trend in layer 1 cryptos like Solana and Cardano.
Why Low Cap Altcoins?
Low cap altcoins often carry higher risks, but they also offer significant upside potential. These projects typically operate in emerging sectors, where a breakthrough can lead to massive price appreciation. Akash Network (AKT), Pendle (PENDLE), and Oasis (ROSE) are among the top coins for significant growth this year.
Akash Network (AKT)
Akash Network is a decentralized cloud computing marketplace that offers a cheaper, more efficient alternative to traditional cloud services like AWS and Google Cloud. The native cryptocurrency AKT has been in a correction trend for the past 10 months, wavering in a formation flag pattern.
Theoretically, the pattern drives a temporary pullback within two converging trendlines to replenish the exhausted bullish momentum. The coin price is around 18% away from a major breakout from the overhead trendline.
With sustained buying, the post-breakout rally could surpass the $10.5 barrier.
Pendle (PENDLE)
Pendle is an innovative DeFi protocol that allows users to tokenize and trade yield. Amid the recent market recovery, the PENDLE price bounced from $4.8 to $5.4, registering a jump of $12.2.
This upswing in the daily chart shows the formation of a classic reversal pattern called inverted head and shoulder. The pattern is characterized by three troughs, where the middle trough (head) is the lowest, and the two outer troughs (shoulders) are higher and roughly equal in height.
If the bullish momentum persists, the coin price could rise another 32% before a crucial breakout from $7.15. If the pattern holds true, the asset could rally beyond the $12.5 level.
Oasis Network (ROSE)
Oasis Network is a Layer-1 blockchain that prioritizes privacy and data security. ROSE, the native cryptocurrency of the network, currently trades at $0.09 with a market cap of $666.5 Million.
An analysis of the weekly chart shows the formation of cup and handle patterns. The chart setup shows a U-shaped recovery (the “cup”) followed by a smaller downward consolidation or pullback (the “handle”), with the breakout occurring when the price surpasses the neckline resistance.
Similar to other low cap altcoins, the ROSE price could rise 94% before a breakout from $0.186 and drive a post-breakout rally past $0.33.
