Altcoins are gaining upward momentum again.

Weekly cryptocurrency market analysis from Coinidol.com. XRP, Stellar, Synthetix, BitDAO and Solana in the top 5 gainers of the week.

This week several cryptocurrencies broke above moving average lines and overhead resistance levels. Altcoins are gaining upward momentum again. 

However, the uptrend is limited by the overbought condition of crypto assets. Let us take a closer look at some of these cryptocurrencies on Coinidol.com.

XRP

The price of Ripple (XRP) has been rising since its recent surge on July 13. The upward momentum peaked at $0.94. When the market reached its last high, the positive momentum was caught. The cryptocurrency has declined and is now trading between $0.70 and $0.80. 

Over the past five days, XRP has been trading within a narrow range. XRP is currently rising to retest recent highs. If the price breaks the initial resistance at $0.80, the uptrend will resume. The market will rise to a high of $1.42. XRP will decline and find support above the breakout level of $0.55 if the bears break below the existing support. 

For the period 14, XRP is at a Relative Strength Index level of 71. XRP has reached the overbought zone of the market. Further price gains are unlikely.

Solana

Solana (SOL) is in an uptrend but is unable to sustain upward momentum above $26. Earlier, the price of the cryptocurrency broke through a barrier and climbed to a high of $32.50. The altcoin fell back below the level of resistance.
