These Altcoins Are Showing High Social Dominance After Recent Price Swings

According to crypto intelligence platform Santiment, some altcoins have been enjoying increased attention from investors over the past few days. This comes as the crypto market continues to undergo a positive recovery from its recent slump in the aftermath of the Bitcoin ETF launch.

These Altcoins Show Potential For More Profit: Santiment

In a post on the X platform, Santiment revealed that three altcoins, including Chainlink (LINK), Immutable X (IMX), and Pyth (PYTH), have become assets of mainstream interest in the past few days. 

This revelation is based on their performance in terms of Social Dominance, an indicator that compares the social volume of a particular asset to the combined social volume of the top 100 cryptocurrencies by market capitalization.

As shown in the chart above, the Social Dominance of these three altcoins has seen a notable spike in recent days. Interestingly, Santiment has associated this renewed investor interest in Chainlink, Immutable X, and Pyth, with their market cap growth in the past week.

According to data from Santiment, the valuations of LINK, IMX, and PYTH have increased by 34%, 23%, and 26%, respectively, in the last seven. The on-chain analytics noted that the mainstream crowd discussion around these altcoins will lead to FOMO (fear of missing out) amongst investors.

Santiment further highlighted that this FOMO can trigger high price volatility and increased buying pressure for Chainlink, Immutable X, and Pyth. Ultimately, this can lead to more price gains for the three crypto assets.

Chainlink Price Overview

The price performance of Chainlink in the past week has been the most impressive of the three altcoins highlighted by Santiment. According to data from CoinGecko, LINK’s value has jumped by more than 24% in the past week.

In a week dominated by Bitcoin’s resurgence to above $43,000, Chainlink managed to become one of the biggest gainers in the last seven days. The cryptocurrency’s price registered a positive run to almost as high as $19.

As of this writing, the Chainlink token is valued at $17.69, reflecting a 1.2% price decline in the last 24 hours. The altcoin appears to be witnessing some amount of downward pressure as it is struggling to hold above the $18 level.

Nevertheless, Chainlink continues to lay a strong claim to a spot amongst the top 10 largest cryptocurrencies by market capitalization. With a market cap of over $10 billion, LINK ranks as the 13th-largest asset in the cryptocurrency sector.

Top Altcoins Poised To Make Waves This Week: Crypto Analyst

Miles Deutscher, a crypto analyst, recently shared insights on altcoins that are catching his attention for the upcoming week. In a post on X, he starts by noting the market’s recent cool-off, suggesting this phase is creating new opportunities for savvy investors. Deutscher also emphasizes the importance of staying informed and ready to capitalize on these shifts.

Top Altcoins To Watch This Week

Injective (INJ)

According to Deutscher, Injective (INJ) is experiencing a lull in hype, but this should not undermine its strong performance throughout the year. He believes that if the bullish momentum continues, INJ could reach its local highs in the $19’s. “Monitoring closely, as it runs hard when it runs,” Deutscher states, highlighting the potential for rapid gains.

At press time, INJ was trading at $15.88 after being rejected at the 0.618 Fibonacci retracement level of $17.13.

Pyth Network (PYTH)

Deutscher points out that PYTH is in an interesting position with attributes favored by the market: it’s a new, shiny coin with a low float and perpetual contracts. However, competition from other Solana tokens, like Jupiter and JITO, may temporarily divert attention. For those already holding PYTH, Deutscher advises to hold but not to add more unless the price drops.

SuperFarm (SUPER)

SUPER is part of the trending gaming narrative and has been gaining attention from significant creators and influencers. Despite its volatile funding, Deutscher sees potential for a FOMO-driven price increase. “It could be one of those ‘it’s already up too much, I’m not buying’ plays,” he speculates, suggesting that late buyers might drive the price even higher.

Cosmos (ATOM)

The recent approval of the ATOM Halving proposal is a significant development for Cosmos. This change will halve the maximum inflation rate from 20% to 10%, potentially impacting ATOM’s price action (PA). Deutscher is watching this closely for signs of a developing trend.

dYdX (DYDX)

The unlocking of $524 million worth of DYDX on November 28th is a crucial event, especially since these tokens will be released on the DYDX chain, not supported by centralized exchanges (CEXs). Deutscher anticipates a complex interplay of market psychology around this event. “Watching to see if the head and shoulders pattern continues to play out,” he comments, suggesting possible price movements following the unlock.

Solana (SOL) And BONK

SOL’s struggle to break past $58 is noted by Deutscher, placing it in a “no trade zone” for now. However, a breakthrough could lead to significant gains. BONK, a Solana-based meme coin, is also on his radar due to its higher volatility and correlation with Solana’s movements.

Solana price
Vertex (VRTX)

Finally, Deutscher highlights the significant volume increase on Vertex, surpassing DYDX and Uniswap. Despite suspicions of wash trading due to low open interest (OI) compared to volume, he sees potential in Vertex and perceives a resurgence in the popularity of perpetual decentralized exchanges (DEXs).
