Here’s the latest snapshot of momentum in the crypto market — from the Aussie angle — and three coins that are showing signs of strength in the next 24 hours. While no guarantee, the signals suggest these may be worth keeping on your radar.
🔍 Market & Indicator Context
Heat-map tools like those on COIN360 and QuantifyCrypto show strong colour-intensity (i.e., strong price moves + volume) in certain coins — which often signals early momentum. Technical-indicator decks (e.g., RSI Hunter) show that across the market many large-cap coins have RSI values reflecting resistance-zone behaviour (i.e., momentum increasing but some caution) — see RSI data for e.g. XRP at ~85 (over-bought zone) and for Cardano ~61. Traders frequently emphasise that combining momentum tools — e.g., RSI, MACD crossover, moving averages, volume/OBV — gives better signals.
Given that backdrop, here are three coins that appear to be gaining genuine momentum, and could be considered for a shorter-term position (next 24 h) with the aim of capturing a steady move rather than a wild gamble.
✅ Top 3 Coins to Watch (Next 24h)
1. Ethereum (
$ETH )
Current price ~ US$3,892 (see finance snapshot above)RSI Hunter lists ETH’s RSI ~67, stating it is in a “Resistance Zone” but not yet clearly over-extended. As the second-largest crypto by market cap, it has relatively higher liquidity and is more likely to absorb momentum moves without extreme volatility.From heat-map perspective, large-cap coins are lighting up — meaning investors are piling in and seeing short-term opportunities. Given that, ETH is positioned to move up steadily if sentiment remains positive.
2. Cardano (
$ADA )
Current price ~ US$0.646 (see finance snapshot above)Its RSI is around ~61 (per RSI Hunter), indicating momentum but with room to run.It is not yet in the over-bought territory (above ~70), which means entry now still has upside potential rather than being saturated.If the overall alt-coin momentum continues (and the heat-map suggests many altcoins are showing green intensity) then ADA could be one of the altcoins that moves steadily and stays more stable than ultra-low-cap coins.
3. Chainlink (
$LINK )
Although not captured in our finance snapshot, LINK shows strong momentum indicators: RSI ~66.87 and recent volume uptick per RSI Hunter. Chainlink has good fundamentals (oracle network, DeFi utility, ecosystem integrations) which supports steadiness rather than purely speculative hops.In a heat-map sense, it tends to move when broader alt-momentum arrives, so if we’re seeing “alt season light” or alt momentum from Australia-based investors (who often chase utility tokens), LINK could be a smart choice.
🧭 Why These Three?
They belong to the higher-liquidity, better-supported segment of crypto — meaning less prone to wild dumps compared to micro-cap coins.Each shows momentum (RSI + heat-map behaviour) but not yet extreme over-bought (except ETH is closer to resistance), which gives a window.From an Australian investor viewpoint (time zone, market hours, trading accessibility), these coins are globally traded so 24h moves are viable.They collectively cover: a major platform (ETH), a large alt with upcoming ecosystem potential (ADA), and a mid-cap utility token (LINK) — giving a diversified entry within the momentum-theme.
⚠️ Key Arguments & Considerations
Argument FOR: If the heat-map is lighting up (which it is) and more capital is pouring into alts, then coins with utility + liquidity are the best vehicles for “steady momentum” rather than risk-only speculative coins.Argument AGAINST: Crypto markets are notoriously volatile. Momentum can reverse fast. Even coins showing good signals can hit sudden resistance or macro-headwinds (regulation, macro-economics, whales).Australian angle: Aussie investors often face time-zone effects (e.g., US market moves overnight) and regulatory concerns (e.g., tax/treatments). Keep that in mind.24-hour horizon: That’s a short time span in crypto; you may capture a move but you also risk being caught in pullbacks. Use stop-losses or risk control.
🏁 Suggested Action (If You Choose to Act)
Consider entering one or more of these coins now, with a plan to monitor price action closely.Set a risk threshold (e.g., 3-5% stop-loss) because the next 24h can throw surprises.Avoid over-leveraging: Use minimal leverage (if any) — you’re going for momentum, not a moon-shot.Keep an eye on the broader market: If the crypto “heat” starts to fade (fewer green blocks on the heat-map), you may need to exit quickly.
