Weekly Cryptocurrency Market Analysis: Altcoins Continue Their Uptrend As They Approach The Overbought Zone

The top altcoins maintained their upward momentum this week, reaching previous highs.

The fact that cryptocurrencies are trading in overbought areas of the market presents a difficulty. However, an overbought condition cannot last in a market that is in a strong trend. Each of these cryptocurrencies will be examined.

Threshold

Threshold (T) has risen above the $0.020 support and is currently in an uptrend. The price of the cryptocurrency rose to a high of $0.0633 before falling back to the previous high of $0.05. The resistance at $0.050 has slowed down the upward movement. At $0.050 level, the market is reportedly in the overbought zone. If the current resistance is overcome, the altcoin will go even higher. It is expected to reach the previous high of $0.09 again. The daily stochastic is at 80, which means that the cryptocurrency asset is in a bearish momentum. The altcoin that is the best performing cryptocurrency has the characteristics listed below. 

Current price: $0.04978

Trading volume: $466,569,120

The current upswing has broken through resistance at $2.18 and reached a new high. At $2.57, the cryptocurrency asset is overbought. At its recent high, the altcoin is experiencing rejection. If the price declines and breaks below the bullish trend line, the uptrend could come to an end. If it declines and bounces above the trend line or moving average lines, the uptrend will resume.
