Despite a sharp decline in the global cryptocurrency market, some altcoins are still showing incredible strength and approaching all-time highs (ATHs). Investors see this as an opportunity to accumulate before the next recovery.
Here are 4 altcoins that analysts say have the potential to break out next week: USELESS, Mantle, Ethereum and Bitcoin Hyper.
USELESS (USELESS): Almost Fully Recovered After Crash
USELESS is one of the few meme coins that has maintained trading near its peak despite the market-wide decline on Friday. The coin is now only 19.7% away from the ATH of $0.444, showing strong buying power compared to most other altcoins.
In the past 24 hours, USELESS has increased 67%, trading around $0.368, trying to hold the $0.364 support zone. The 50-day EMA continues to consolidate the uptrend, opening up the possibility of retesting the old peak in the short term.
If selling pressure appears soon, USELESS could correct below the $0.292 zone, even to $0.230, losing the current bullish signal.
Mantle (MNT): Waiting for a breakout to set a new high
Mantle is emerging as a strong candidate in the group of potential altcoins that can set a new high. The token is currently trading around $2.15, about 33% away from its ATH of $2.87.
While this is a fairly high increase, the 32% momentum in the last 24 hours suggests that MNT is definitely within reach. If the price breaks the resistance of $2.29 and turns it into support, MNT could continue to rise towards $2.87, setting a new record.
However, if the market weakens or selling pressure increases, a drop below $1.92 could send the price back to the $1.77 area, losing upside momentum.
Ethereum (ETH): Maintaining Leadership Among Major Altcoins
Ethereum is currently trading at $4,162, just below the key resistance zone $4,222. After a strong bounce from $3,742, ETH has gained 10% in just 24 hours, indicating that investor confidence remains strong.
According to the Ichimoku Cloud pattern, the short-term trend of ETH remains positive. If ETH succeeds in turning $4,222 into support, the price could rise to $4,500, even testing the next resistance at $4,956.
On the contrary, if it fails to maintain this zone, ETH risks a correction to $4,000 or lower, erasing most of its recent gains.
Bitcoin Hyper (HYPER): The New Mystery of the 2025 Altcoin Season
Along with the three coins above, Bitcoin Hyper (HYPER) is attracting attention for its unconventional approach — bringing scalability and high speed to the Bitcoin network.
HYPER is developing a Layer-2 solution for Bitcoin, using Solana Virtual Machine (SVM) to achieve sub-second transaction speeds and near-zero fees. This model enables Bitcoin to support dApps, DeFi, and meme coins, something that the mainnet (Layer-1) cannot do.
HYPER's Presale raised over $22.7 million, reflecting investor confidence in the project's vision. Many experts believe that HYPER could become one of the altcoins leading the Q4/2025 bull run when Layer-2 technology for Bitcoin enters the commercialization phase.
Summary
USELESS, Mantle, Ethereum, and Bitcoin Hyper represent four distinct directions in the altcoin universe — from community meme coins to enterprise-grade blockchain platforms. Despite the market being under pressure, a new wave of recovery could start as early as October, and these altcoins are likely to be among the leaders.
