The cryptocurrency market is showing strength once again as it rebounds from an initial bearish pullback earlier today. Bitcoin (BTC), the leading cryptocurrency, has risen by 1.33% and is currently trading near the $103K mark. Following BTC's lead, two prominent altcoins—Fantom (FTM) and Lido DAO (LDO)—have grabbed traders' attention with notable gains.

Both tokens are now testing critical resistance levels, raising the possibility of further bullish breakouts.
Fantom (FTM):
Fantom (FTM) has surged over 8% today, extending its impressive 90% rally over the past 30 days. Currently, the $FTM token is trading at $1.34, just below a crucial resistance zone that stretches between $1.32 to $1.39, as highlighted in the 4-hour chart below:
If the price manages to break above $1.39, this breakout could fuel a further rally toward the next resistance level at $1.67—a potential 20% gain from the top of the current resistance zone.
The Relative Strength Index (RSI), currently at 63.97, indicates growing bullish momentum but remains below the overbought zone, signaling room for further upward movement.
Lido DAO (LDO):
Lido DAO (LDO) has also seen a 4% gain today, following a remarkable 100% rally over the last 30 days. Notably, the token has formed a bullish cup-and-handle pattern, which often signals an imminent breakout. As shown in the daily chart, $LDO is trading at $2.31 and is testing the neckline resistance trendline:
If LDO successfully breaks above the neckline resistance, it could pave the way for a sharp move toward the next resistance levels at $2.70 and $3.05—a potential 32% upside from the current price.
The RSI, currently at 70.24, is near the overbought zone, signaling strong momentum.
Are Breakouts on the Horizon?
Both Fantom (FTM) and Lido DAO (LDO) are showing robust price action, gaining momentum alongside the broader altcoin market. With Bitcoin stabilizing above $100K, investor confidence is rising, and traders are watching closely as these two tokens approach critical resistance levels.
For FTM, a breakout above $1.39 could signal a continuation toward $1.67.
For LDO, a successful breakout from the cup-and-handle pattern could trigger moves toward $2.70 and $3.05.
As altcoins recover and regain momentum, these potential breakouts could be the next key drivers of the market.
