The New Year brought a fresh wave of optimism among investors, which is evident in Bitcoin’s price reaching $99,000. This resulted in a bunch of altcoins also marking their new highs, with meme coins also being part of the cohort.

BeInCrypto has analyzed the three altcoins that are growing independently and presenting a price increase for investors to watch closely.

Act I: The AI Prophecy (ACT)

ACT is trading at $0.35 after rebounding from its $0.25 support level in late December 2024. The altcoin is now approaching the resistance of $0.41, with market momentum suggesting a potential breakthrough in the near term.

The upcoming “New Paradigm” upgrade for ACT’s chain is expected to introduce a new framework, enhanced integration, and fresh team members. This development has generated optimism among investors, positioning ACT for significant growth if the upgrade delivers as anticipated.

If market reception aligns with expectations, ACT could breach $0.41 and rally toward $0.60. However, failure to break resistance may lead to consolidation between $0.30 and $0.41, delaying further progress.

UNUS SED LEO (LEO)

LEO is among the few tokens that have not achieved a new high in the past three weeks despite the recovering market. Its current all-time high (ATH) stands at $9.80, reflecting the token’s potential for a significant breakout in the near term.

The altcoin has shown resilience by maintaining support above $8.94 for several days. This stability has kept LEO afloat, positioning it only 7.3% away from forming a new ATH. Investors are closely monitoring these levels as a breakout appears increasingly likely.

However, investor selling remains a key concern. Any unexpected sell-offs could push LEO below its $8.94 support, potentially dragging the token to $8.45 and invalidating the bullish outlook.

Movement (MOVE)

Another key altcoin to watch, MOVE, has remained below the $1.15 barrier for over a month and a half, struggling to close above this critical level. Breaking $1.15 is essential for the token to surpass its all-time high of $1.41, making this resistance a key focus for investors.

The upcoming token unlock, valued at $54 million, adds intrigue to MOVE’s price action. While smaller than last month’s $2.43 billion release, the reduced unlock size could mitigate downward pressure, keeping investor optimism alive for a potential breakout.

Failure to breach $1.15, however, may prolong the ongoing consolidation between $0.75 and $0.91. This could invalidate the bullish outlook, delaying MOVE’s chances of achieving new highs.
