Altcoins To Watch This Weekend: 3 Top Picks

The crypto market has picked up over the past 24 hours, and traders are now looking for altcoins to watch as weekend flows usually bring sharper moves. Some projects are showing fresh demand after new updates, others are building momentum on the charts, and a few are nearing levels that could decide their next trend.

This BeInCrypto curated list highlights three setups that stand out heading into the weekend — each for a different reason.

Keeta (KTA)

KTA is up about 36% in the past 24 hours. The jump follows Keeta’s new fiat anchor launch, which lets users move money between bank accounts and stablecoins with fewer delays. That upgrade increases real-world use, so traders could watch Keeta closely this weekend.

On the 12-hour chart, Keeta has broken above $0.32. The next important level is $0.36, which rejected the last push. A clean close above it can open a move toward $0.43.

The breakout attempt comes with rare support from the Wyckoff volume-color indicator, which is based on simple buying and selling strength.

A green bar shows buyers in full control, a red bar shows sellers controlling the move, a blue bar shows buyers gaining control, and a yellow bar shows sellers gaining control. Keeta has printed two strong green bars for the first time since late November. That shift hints that real demand is backing the breakout rather than a short-term spike.

If buying continues and Keeta closes above $0.36, the path to $0.43 opens. If the bars turn blue or yellow again, profit-taking may start. In that case, $0.27 becomes the key support. A break below it exposes $0.21, which flips the short-term trend back to weak.

Keeta remains one of the top altcoins to watch this weekend because its fundamental upgrade and rising buyer strength now line up with a breakout setup above $0.36.

Solana (SOL)

Solana is up about 6% in the past 24 hours, helped by steady news coming out of the ongoing Breakpoint event. The most notable update is JPMorgan using Solana to arrange a tokenized commercial paper issuance. That kind of institutional use case keeps interest high even while the broader chart still faces hurdles. And that makes SOL one of the top altcoins to watch over the next two days.

Between December 7 and December 11, Solana formed a higher low while the RSI formed a lower low. The RSI tracks the speed of buying and selling. When price climbs but RSI slips, it creates a hidden bullish divergence. This usually signals fading selling pressure even before momentum shows up on the chart.

The rebound has pushed Solana back toward $146, a level that has blocked every move since November 14. A clean daily close above it this weekend would confirm strength and set up a path toward $171. Solana needs roughly a 5% push to test that breakout, which is well within its normal range when buyers step in.

If $146 rejects again, the pullback zone remains near $127. That level has held since December 2 and continues to act as a strong floor. A break below it weakens the setup, but as long as the hidden bullish divergence stays active, Solana still has a chance to retest higher levels.

For now, Solana is on the weekend watchlist because both the chart and the Breakpoint news flow point to a possible attempt at $146.

Chainlink (LINK)

Chainlink is up about 4% in the past 24 hours. Coinbase naming LINK’s CCIP the default bridge matters because it can raise real usage. If more wrapped assets move across networks with CCIP, demand for LINK could rise over time.

An EMA crossover is forming on the 12-hour chart. EMA means exponential moving average. It is a moving average that gives more weight to recent prices. A bullish crossover happens when a smaller (20-period) EMA, in this case, rises above the longer (50-period) EMA. Traders use that crossover as a simple momentum signal. It suggests short-term buyers are gaining control.

LINK is trading above both EMAs already. That shows buyers are in control going into the weekend. If the 20/50 EMA crossover completes, LINK could try a quick push. The first level to clear is $14.23. LINK needs roughly 1.2% for a 12-hour close above it. A clean move above that opens $14.99, then $16.78.

If the crossover fails, risk returns to the downside. The key support is $13.37. A break below it would expose $12.44 and then $11.75. Right now, the chart and the Coinbase CCIP news line up. That combo is why LINK is a top token to watch this weekend.
