LTC LINK ADA Line Up for Breakout as Ethereum Jumps 50%

Ether’s (ETH) 50% rally in the past month has it testing a potential record high at $5,000, and traders are already whispering about the next big “altseason.”

Historically, such periods have sent top altcoins like Dogecoin (DOGE) and XRP (XRP) soaring over 1,000%. In 2025, several underbought tokens with strong fundamentals are flashing bullish signals.

Three of them could be poised for outsized gains. Let’s take a look.

Litecoin Price Outlook: ETF Approvals and Bullish Fractal Improve Rally Potential

Litecoin (LTC), launched in 2011 by former Google engineer Charlie Lee, is one of the oldest cryptocurrencies, dubbed “the silver to Bitcoin’s gold.”

It shares Bitcoin’s proof-of-work model but offers faster block times and a larger supply. Despite surviving 14 years of market cycles, LTC hasn’t reclaimed its $413 peak from May 2021.

That could change if the SEC approves pending spot Litecoin ETF applications, which Bloomberg analysts give a 95% chance this year, potentially boosting its appeal to wealthy and institutional investors.

LTC/USD Technical Analysis: Price is Eyeing Rally Above $400

Litecoin is repeating a price structure seen before its 2017 and 2020 breakouts, which drove rallies from under $25 to above $400.

Since 2018, LTC has trended within a broad ascending channel, holding long-term support and repeatedly testing the $140–$170 resistance zone that capped gains in 2019, 2021, and 2023.

A breakout above this level, while trading well above its 50- and 200-week exponential moving averages (EMAs), could trigger a run toward the “ultimate upside target” above $400.

Additionally, an XRP fractal also hints at a major Litecoin price boom in 2025, as FxEmpire covered here.

Chainlink Price Outlook: This “Blue Chip” Crypto Firm is Undergoing a Classic Breakout

Chainlink (LINK), a decentralized oracle network, has failed to recover to its May 2021 record highs just like Litecoin. This “blue-chip” blockchain project has, however, rallied by over 125% since June, furthering its bull run out as altseason hopes mount.

Fundamentally, the LINK price boom has accompanied a slew of optimistic updates, listed as follows:

• ICE Partnership: Collaborating with Intercontinental Exchange to boost data feed reliability and expand use in traditional finance.

• Chainlink Reserve: New onchain treasury funded via Payment Abstraction; already holds $1M+ in LINK to support long-term network sustainability.

• Payment Abstraction: Lets enterprises pay in fiat or crypto, auto-converted to LINK using CCIP.

• Data Streams: Launched real-time US equities and ETF data across 37 blockchains for tokenized finance and synthetic products.

• Institutional Integrations: Expanded ties with Mastercard, JP Morgan, ANZ, and HKMA for crosschain settlement and compliance tools.

LINK/USD Technical Analysis: A 150% Rally Setup Ahead

LINK’s price has broken out of a multi-year symmetrical triangle pattern that has been forming since its 2021 peak, signaling the potential for a major upside move.

The breakout above the upper trendline comes with LINK trading well above its 50-week and 200-week EMAs, reinforcing bullish momentum. Based on the pattern’s height, the move projects an upside target in the $65–$70 range, levels last seen during the 2021 bull run.

Cardano Price Outlook: Real-World Adoption May Fuel Rally

Cardano (ADA) launched the Gero Crypto Card on Aug. 7, letting users top up with ADA and instantly convert it to euros for spending across Europe. Available in virtual and physical formats through regulated partners, it may boost ADA’s real-world utility by bridging Web3 and traditional finance.

Cardano’s stablecoin, DJED, is moving to a private, open-source model, with “Private DJED” enabling encrypted, confidential transactions for privacy-focused DeFi and DApps.

Growing optimism over a potential US-listed Cardano ETF adds another catalyst for institutional adoption.

ADA/USD Technical Analysis: Price Could Rise At Least 90%

Cardano’s price is trading within a well-defined ascending channel, with recent gains pushing it toward the channel’s upper trendline. The pattern has been intact since early 2023, supported by higher lows and consistent bounces off the 50-period EMA on the two-week chart.

If the bullish momentum persists, ADA could test the 0.618 Fibonacci retracement level near $1.67, a target that aligns closely with the channel’s resistance.

This move would represent a roughly 90% gain from current levels. Sustained closes above $1.67 could open the door for further upside, while failure to break the upper boundary may prompt a retest of mid-channel support.
