As 2024 draws to a close, the crypto market is gearing up for significant moves. While Bitcoin’s anticipated climb to the $100,000 milestone might ignite rallies across the market, some altcoins are already showing potential for gains. Analyst Aaryaman Shrivastava highlights three altcoins to watch closely in the coming days, with XLM taking center stage.

XLM Takes the Spotlight

Stellar (XLM) may not be the top-performing token, but its recent price movements indicate strong investor confidence. Stellar’s upcoming Protocol 22 upgrade, set for a vote this week following successful testnet trials, could bolster market sentiment. Upgrades like this often trigger volatility, but a smooth implementation may solidify XLM’s bullish momentum.

Currently trading above the crucial $0.41 support level, Stellar is well-positioned to sustain its upward trend. This level has served as a robust floor, preventing significant price declines. However, a dip below $0.41 could invalidate the bullish outlook, potentially driving XLM down to $0.25.

YGG Faces Resistance

BANANA Eyes Token Unlock

Meanwhile, BANANA has seen its price drop by 9% in the last 24 hours, now trading at $60. Despite the decline, the altcoin remains above key support levels. The token faces increased circulating supply with an impending unlock of 250,000 BANANA, valued at $15 million. While the added supply could introduce volatility, strong market cues might support BANANA’s price. Ultimately, market sentiment will play a critical role in determining the token’s trajectory.

Market Implications

With major developments across these tokens, investors should watch closely for potential market shifts. As The Bit Journal emphasizes, market sentiment and technical catalysts often drive significant price movements in altcoins like XLM, YGG, and BANANA.
