Crypto Market Watch: Top Altcoins to Buy Right Now Instead of Bitcoin

Bitcoin has been struggling to hold its momentum, but some altcoins are proving surprisingly strong. While the market remains uncertain, certain tokens are flashing signs of a breakout. Crypto analyst Credible Crypto believes Litecoin (LTC) and XRP could be the ones to watch in the next big rally.

Despite Bitcoin dipping below $80K, both altcoins have held their ground, showing resilience while BTC wavers. Meanwhile, Ethereum (ETH) remains stuck around $2.1K – but could it be gearing up for a surprise move?

Altcoins Gain Attention as Bitcoin and Ethereum Cool Off

Since the Bitcoin and ETH craze is fading, several altcoins are standing out in the current market. Solana, Pi Network, Dogecoin, and Cardano have rebounded strongly, presenting investment opportunities. Dogecoin saw a 10.90% jump to $0.2044, largely driven by speculation of a potential ETF approval, which has fueled optimism among investors. Cardano is also showing positive buying signals, indicating a potential upward move.

Litecoin and XRP Show Stability

Litecoin and XRP have remained among the most stable altcoins during Bitcoin’s decline. Credible Crypto notes that while BTC has fallen below key support levels, LTC and XRP have held their ground, making them strong candidates to lead the next market recovery.

At the time of writing, Litecoin is trading at $127, showing slight gains, while XRP is at $2.15, down 1.6% for the day.

Crypto analyst BearBull points out that XRP’s current support could be tested if it drops to its high-timeframe (HTF) demand zone around $1.60. Meanwhile, Litecoin appears to have a stronger position, as its local low at $80 is still 33% away—compared to XRP’s 15% margin. Credible Crypto agrees, noting that if XRP breaks its range lows and enters HTF demand, it might weaken short-term, though its overall long-term outlook remains bullish.

Why Bitcoin Consolidation Matters

Bitcoin recently dipped to $79,000 before recovering to $85,070. Credible Crypto predicts BTC will trade sideways between $74,000 and $99,000 before making a major move. This consolidation phase could create an opportunity for select altcoins to gain momentum.

Currently, Bitcoin dominance remains above 60%, limiting broad altcoin growth. However, certain tokens like XRP, Litecoin, Solana, Pi Network, Dogecoin, and Cardano have gained investor interest.

CryptoQuant CEO Ki Young Ju suggests that, unlike past bull runs where most altcoins surged together, this time only a select few—especially those linked to institutional adoption, stablecoins, and meme coin speculation—will see significant gains.

Market Outlook: Which Altcoins Will Lead the Next Rally?

The total crypto market cap now stands at $2.76 trillion, retesting 2021 highs. However, many altcoins are still down over 80% from their peak. In this environment, investing in projects with real utility rather than hype may be the best strategy for navigating the current cycle.
