Solana (SOL), Ripple (XRP), and Minotaurus (MTAUR) are getting attention as top cryptocurrencies for the current market cycle. With strong price performance, promising technical patterns, and developments around regulation and utility, these assets are catching the eye of buyers.

Solana (SOL) Rallies on ETF News and Breaks Key Technical Levels

Solana’s price has risen by more than 12% in the last one day and is currently exchanging hands at 261 USDT, all-time high after the BTC price jumped to 99,000 USDT. This rally happens at the same time as the US regulator has been reported to have started meeting with Solana ETF applications which are submitted by asset managers including VanEck, 21 Shares, Canary Funds and Bitwise.

CryptosRus, a cryptocurrency analyst who has more than 245K followers, has predicted that Solana can hit 4,000 USDT to 5,000 USDT in this market cycle. In his view, the bullish “cup and handle” formation in Solana’s weekly chart strengthens this target. “With Solana breaking out of its massive cup and handle, the cup depth has a price target of around 5,000 USDT,” he noted in an X (formerly Twitter) post.

From a technical perspective, Solana has already formed the handle of the pattern and is trying to rise above the previous record at 261 USDT. If this breakout is successful, this pattern can revert to a price surge of up to 70% in the coming weeks and push the asset price towards 459 USDT. It is also believed the departure of the SEC chair, Gary Gensler, in January 2025 might result in better conditions for cryptocurrencies, including Solana ETFs.

Ripple (XRP) Shows Strength Amid Market Optimism

Ripple’s XRP token has also done well and hit the 1 USDT mark this week, up almost 200% since its low in June. This has been coupled with raised buying pressure and expectations of new decisions on the regulatory front regarding Ripple’s token – XRP. Rumours that the US regulator chairman Gensler has resigned due to the victory of Donald Trump have boosted hopes that the adapted lawsuit against Ripple may be stopped.

According to market analyst Armando Pantoja, XRP has the potential of touching 8 USDT to 30 USDT if the rules become favorable. He notes that the last major rally for XRP token which took the token price from a few cents to 3.84 USDT happened under similar macro conditions.

In terms of price analysis, XRP is currently in the middle of building a bullish pennant on its weekly chart, which is viewed as positive by experts. If the price rises above the first and second resistance levels at 1.33 USDT and 1.88 USDT, buyers expect another wave up. Furthermore, the company’s intention of introducing RLUSD, a US dollar-backed stablecoin, is expected to contribute towards increasing the use of the asset in blockchain payments and thus drive long term rally.

Minotaurus (MTAUR): A Rising Star in Blockchain Gaming

Minotaurus (MTAUR), a new cryptocurrency that targets the gaming industry, is rapidly becoming a holder’s favorite among blockchain tokens. It has already garnered over 266,000 USDT in its presale; early buyers have enjoyed great benefits since the token’s value has seen a 50% surge in presale.

While the majority of tokens are more of a speculative asset, MTAUR is anchored within the Minotaurus gaming ecosystem where it is used to unlock avatars and upgrades. The project has been audited by SolidProof and Coinsult which give the platform credibility and trust.

Minotaurus has chosen the casual gaming market as its main area of interest, and this market is still expanding around the world. The team has initiated referral programs, free giveaways, and encouraged participation within the gaming community to involve gamers, and token holders. Subsequently, the project is in the midst of a 100,000 USDT giveaway and is well placed to become a major force in blockchain gaming.
