The cryptocurrency market is buzzing with anticipation as Bitcoin nears the $100,000 mark, triggering heightened volatility in the altcoin market. Recent developments, including executive orders by former U.S. President Donald Trump supporting the crypto sector, have fueled optimism, particularly for certain altcoins. According to analyst Shayan Chowdhury, Trump’s meme coin, Ripple’s XRP, and Gate Token (GT) could emerge as top performers in the coming week.
Altcoins Shine Despite Bitcoin Dominance
Although Bitcoin’s dominance remains a focal point, altcoins continue to captivate the market’s attention. The close of 2024 saw the beginning of a potential altcoin season as the Bitcoin Dominance Index (BTCD) hit a peak and began to decline. However, the total value of altcoins hasn’t yet surpassed its previous all-time highs, signaling a need for further momentum.
For a full-blown altcoin season, Chowdhury suggests that BTCD needs to drop further, while the total altcoin market cap should exceed prior records. The Altcoin Season Index currently stands at a neutral 53, suggesting no clear altcoin trend yet. Nevertheless, with Bitcoin’s market dominance nearing 59%, a price correction could trigger significant gains for select altcoins.
TRUMP Meme Coin: Revival in Sight?
The official Trump meme coin has faced severe setbacks recently, dropping from its all-time high of $75 to $27.8 as of this writing—a dramatic 63% decline over the past week. In the last 24 hours, the coin has slid by more than 16%. Despite the downturn, analysts see potential for recovery, driven by growing trader confidence and renewed interest. The coin currently trades below its descending resistance line but could retest the $29 level in the short term.
XRP: Building Momentum for a Breakout

Ripple’s XRP has demonstrated resilience, holding firm above the critical support level of $2.91. At the time of writing, XRP is trading at $3.13, reflecting a 1.2% dip in the past 24 hours. Chowdhury highlights that while the token faces resistance along its downward trendline, a successful breakout could propel the price to $3.40 and potentially as high as $4. With bullish momentum building, XRP remains a strong contender for further gains.
Gate Token: Riding the Support Trend
Gate Token is showing strength as it clings to its ascending support line, sparking buying pressure among traders. Currently trading at $25, GT has risen by over 1.3% in the last 24 hours. Analysts predict that the GT/USDT pair could target a key short-term resistance level at $26, making it a token to watch in the days ahead.
Conclusion
As Bitcoin’s dominance continues to shape the broader market, select altcoins are positioned for potential breakout performances. TRUMP, XRP, and Gate Token have emerged as promising candidates for the week ahead, fueled by unique market dynamics and growing investor interest.
