Over the past week, the cryptocurrency markets took a heavy hit. Bitcoin is now trading below $116,000, down 5.3% in the past seven days. Ethereum hovers below $4,300, also bleeding red among many other altcoins.
But amid this broader decline, three altcoins quietly challenged the trend. If you're looking for assets on the verge of price discovery, these three are worth a closer look.
Epic Chain (EPIC)
EPIC is the native token of the Epic Chain, a Ripple-backed project focused on real-world assets. It is quickly gaining momentum as one of the top RWA plays in cryptocurrency. Over the past 90 days, it has gained steady traction among large holders.

The true strength lies in its on-chain metrics. Smart Money holdings of EPIC have increased by 53.47% over the past three months, indicating that whales and early insiders are accumulating.
Meanwhile, exchange balances have decreased by 15.17%, meaning fewer tokens are available for immediate sale; a classic sign of an impending supply shock. This outflow also indicates that long-term holders are either moving assets to cold wallets or preparing to use them for practical purposes. Even the top 100 EPIC addresses have added over 12 million tokens to their holdings.

Over the past week, the cryptocurrency markets took a heavy hit. Bitcoin is now trading below $116,000, down 5.3% in the past seven days. Ethereum hovers below $4,300, also bleeding red among many other altcoins.
But amid this broader decline, three altcoins quietly challenged the trend. If you're looking for assets on the verge of price discovery, these three are worth a closer look.
Epic Chain (EPIC)
EPIC is the native token of the Epic Chain, a Ripple-backed project focused on real-world assets. It is quickly gaining momentum as one of the top RWA plays in cryptocurrency. Over the past 90 days, it has gained steady traction among large holders.

The true strength lies in its on-chain metrics. Smart Money holdings of EPIC have increased by 53.47% over the past three months, indicating that whales and early insiders are accumulating.
Meanwhile, exchange balances have decreased by 15.17%, meaning fewer tokens are available for immediate sale; a classic sign of an impending supply shock.

EPIC Price Analysis: TradingView
Technically, EPIC is already in a strong upward trend, having risen nearly 36% week over week. The price has clearly breached above $2.53, invalidating previous resistance zones, and is now hovering at $2.92, less than 4% from its all-time high of $3.02.
The next key level is $3.03 (Fibonacci extension target), and any close above it could send the token into uncharted price territory. If momentum continues, EPIC could be one of the first altcoins to stimulate true price discovery in this cycle.
However, if EPIC drops quickly below $2.53, the entire structure could become range-bound. While this would not invalidate the bullish trend, seeing an all-time high could be significantly delayed.

Saros (SAROS)
Saros, the Solana-based super app, combines decentralized finance, payments, and NFTs in one place. It was built to provide a seamless and comprehensive Web 3 experience for users.
Saros sees massive inflows: Nansen
Last week, whales added 0.29% more Saros to their wallets, a small but significant increase. What is even more exciting is the 58.33% drop in Saros balances across exchanges, a massive outflow for such a specialized token.
This indicates holding, but also preparing to use the protocol. It’s typically the kind of setup that precedes explosive moves.
Saros Price Analysis: TradingView
This altcoin is currently priced around $0.39, just 5% below its all-time high of $0.41. On the daily chart, it is consolidating under resistance at $0.39. A confirmed breakout above $0.40 then $0.41 could put Saros into price discovery mode.
On the flip side, if Saros's price falls below $0.37, the entire bullish structure could be invalidated in the short term.
BNB (BNB)
BNB, the native altcoin of the BNB Chain, continues to challenge market odds. The token is now trading within 4% of its all-time high.
What makes BNB an interesting case for reaching its all-time high is that, despite being a large token, it has posted positive numbers over the past week, with an increase of nearly 3%, while giants like BTC and ETH have seen significant corrections.
BNB Price Analysis: TradingView
The previous bullish trend for BNB pushed the price towards $866. However, it failed to surpass that, leading to lower highs. If BNB's price can break above $866, it will re-enter price discovery mode. The next price target is around $882.
Binance Coin (BNB) is currently trading around $834, following a daily drop of 3.4%. The chart maintains relatively stable support above $812. Any drop below this level would severely impact hopes of reaching an all-time high.
Meanwhile, the Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) remains near neutral territory (0.01), slightly positive, indicating that inflows are present but not strong. It has not yet confirmed a major accumulation phase for this altcoin, but it also does not indicate a full-range retracement either. A move above 0.02 would confirm strong inflows.
