Altcoin season is in the air. If you’re not feeling it, then it’s probably because the season is moving inversely this time.

In 2017, the season started when big-cap names such as Ethereum, Ripple, and Monero made big moves at around the same time last year. Nowadays, these altcoins are frozen as they trade in a narrow range with very little volume. However, small-cap alts such as Ravencoin (RVN/BTC), ChainLink (LINK/BTC) and DOCK (DOCK/BTC) have risen by anywhere between 100% – 300%. We believe that the next candidate for a big push is Pundi X/Bitcoin (NPXS/BTC).

Technical analysis shows that NPXS/BTC is gearing to ignite a massive bull run. Right now, the market is still in accumulation mode as it is trading in a range between 0.00000021 and 0.00000030. However, we are seeing signs that tell us that this phase may be over soon.

Yesterday, October 22, the market got a massive volume influx of 11.198 billion Pundi X units. That figure is over 485% of its daily average. This suggests that the smart money is heavily buying positions at this level. In terms of timing, the volume uptick hints that we are at the latter stages of base building. The smart money bought heavy positions because the train is about to leave the station.

The strategy is to buy the breakout at 0.00000030 after NPXS/BTC generates volume of 4 billion Pundi X units. Those who bought at the bottom end of the range might take profits at the resistance. The market needs buyers to absorb the selling pressure and attract breakout traders.

Once breakout is complete, the market will likely have the momentum to rally to our initial target of 0.00000052 first and then 0.00000070.

The process may take a month.

The Loom Network/Bitcoin pair (LOOM/BTC) dropped to as low as 0.00001001 on August 14, 2018. At that price, the market lost almost 88% of its value from the 2018 peak of 0.00008199.

Like we’ve seen in many altcoin cases, LOOM/BTC started to bottom out after suffering tremendous losses. This process is always difficult to time, especially if the market has a price history of fewer than six months. However, we can always rely on reversal structures to see if the bottom is already in place. We’re seeing LOOM/BTC mark its bottom as well as end its downtrend using a reliable reversal pattern.

Technical analysis shows that LOOM/BTC has taken out resistance of 0.000019 on October 10, 2018. This triggered the breakout from the double bottom structure on the daily chart. The pattern tells us that the support area of 0.00001 has been created and has completed the retest. The creation of this support attracted bargain hunters and bottom fishers. This generated the momentum needed to breach resistance of 0.000019.

The breakout looks convincing as well. On the day of the breakout, LOOM/BTC generated volume that’s over 428% of its daily average. This suggests that the fear of missing out is creeping in. Participants are buying at a higher price in massive numbers. This is the state of mind that ignites powerful bull runs. 

The strategy is to buy on dips as close to 0.000018 as possible. The market is still close to overbought territory, which tells us that it may go below the breakout. As long as LOOM/BTC stays above 0.000018, it has the momentum to rally to our target of 0.000028.

The process may take more than a month.

On our August 29, 2018 trade recommendation, we anticipated NEO/Bitcoin (NEO/BTC) to breakout from the large falling wedge on the daily chart. We emphasized the importance of buying only after the pair generates volume of 1 million NEO units. Without heavy volume, the breakout would not look convincing to breakout traders and trend followers. Hence, there wouldn’t be enough momentum to ignite a massive rally.

Though NEO/BTC broke out from the falling wedge as expected on August 31, the volume it printed was way below our requirements. As a result, the breakout rally was short-lived since bottom fishers saw the low volume breakout as an opportunity to take profits. The selling drove the market down. Nevertheless, this gives us a chance to buy the bottom before NEO/BTC takes off.

Technical analysis shows that NEO/BTC is respecting the historical support of 0.00245. This view comes after the pair successfully completed the retest when it dropped to as low as 0.00239 on October 15 but bulls came to the rescue and lifted the market above the support. We watched NEO/BTC from that point to see if the support will hold. The confirmation came on October 18 when volume suddenly surged. This was a signal that participants are comfortable accumulating at this level.

More importantly, the daily RSI appears to have printed a new higher low at 32.6. This is an encouraging sign as it shows that participants are no longer waiting for extreme oversold readings before entering long positions.

The strategy is to buy as close to 0.00245 support as possible. As long as the market remains above this level, it has a very good chance to rally to our initial target of 0.0034 and then 0.0046.

The process may take more than a month.
