Weekly cryptocurrency analysis of Toncoin, Maker, IOTA, XDC Network and Mantle brought to you by Coinidol.com.

Market volatility is impacting the best-performing cryptocurrencies as altcoins struggle to regain previous support levels. Moreover, as the market enters an overbought condition, the upside moves are temporary.

Toncoin

At the time of writing, the altcoin has reached a high of $1.76. The altcoin is in an uptrend and has reached the overbought area of the market.

Maker

Maker (MKR) is making up ground as it returns above the moving average lines. The cryptocurrency was in decline, hitting a low of $980 on August 17. As the altcoin consolidated above the $1,000 support level, bulls pounced on the dips. The rally has reached a high of $1,220.93.
