LINK is trading within a decreasing range, and this would necessarily imply a breakout after the passing out of volatility.
The BCH fever continues to move on the positive trend where reversal patterns have broken the strong resistance and trounced the going stagnatory bitcoin price.
The STX shows overpricing over support within a narrow range, which reflects an amassing and prospective bearish reinversion.
Some of those altcoins already showed some strength and resurrection in the second half of the year 2025. Other digital assets that can eventually outperform are the growing trend that interests traders and investors, even though Bitcoin remains a key medium in most portfolios. Three main altcoins are in focus: Chainlink (LINK), Chainlink (BCH), and Stacks (STX), according to their new price behavior and technical chart patterns. They are both capable of catching up with Bitcoin and leaving it behind in the short-term view, in regard to both technical indicators and framework.
Chainlink (LINK) has gone into the consolidation stage with a decrease in volatility.
Chainlink (LINK) has recorded major price fluctuations. The prices of LINK rose rapidly in the months of October and December of the year 2024, making it a significant bullish duration. The price rose and went higher in December towards the month's end. This burst was not the end of the fall, though, because LINK continued the process of decay, lasting till the first quarter of 2025.
Since February 2025, the asset has only been moving sideways, but slightly downwards. At the same time, LINK continued to be tested by the lower Bollinger band, meaning that there is constant selling pressure. The LINK is currently trading at 13.44, slightly higher than its 20-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) that stands at 13.06. The Bollinger Bands are converging, and the upper Bollinger Band is at the price of 14.06, and the lower Bollinger Band is at the cost of 12.06. When this tightening range is realized, this could be a sign that a breakout is imminent.
Bitcoin Cash (BCH) Upholds Uptrend and is Towering on Technical Fronts
One of the cryptocurrencies that has also shown one of the most recent and enduring recoveries in the past months is Bitcoin Cash (BCH), among the other leading cryptocurrencies. BCH was extremely unstable, and a significant decline in value occurred between mid-2024 and October 2024, yet after that, the cryptocurrency remained stable. The price-mad December came to a point in December 2024, and the new bullish season appeared.
BCH rose once again in November and December following a brief correction earlier in 2025. It is currently trading at 496.3, which is above the 20-day SMA of 484.3 and hence shows consistent upward pressure. It is now getting in line with the high Bollinger Band, which stands at 520.5. It is an overall bearish position, and that means that the market might face some hindrance in the coming days, although it should not expect this to hold as decisive price action breaks it out.
Stacks (STX) Tightening After Lengthy Correction
Stacks (STX) continues to provide a rather opposite (and not less interesting) technical setup. After the serious price rally at the end of 2024, with a sharp maximum point in December, STX fell into the steep correction phase. The prices shrank exponentially during the latter part of the initial quarter of 2025, and volatility became low.
STX has chiefly spent the time from March 2025 to now in the low range. One can observe on the Bollinger Bands that there is little distance between the upper and the lower band, and the upper band shows a value of 0.712, and the lower one is 0.575. The price value is 0.661, which is above the 20-day Simple Moving Average of 0.643 by a small margin. The trend indicates that the market is also shrinking, and this could be preceded by either a bearish or a bullish outbreak. The technical structure, on the other hand, is also beginning to recover early.
