3 Altcoins To Watch If Bitcoin Drops Under $80,000

by

So, Bitcoin has decided to take a nap and tumble down about 24% since November 11. Naturally, everyone’s scrambling for the next big thing if it plummets below $80,000, which seems more likely by the day. But don’t panic-there are a few altcoins that may just give us the finger to Bitcoin’s fall. Let’s dive into some options that are staying strong or, better yet, moving in the opposite direction (yes, you read that right).

Zcash (ZEC)

Hold onto your wallets because Zcash is one of the few shiny spots in this crypto disaster zone. With charts that actually look… stable (what a concept!), ZEC has a juicy -0.87 correlation with Bitcoin. Translation? ZEC tends to go up when Bitcoin goes down. Take that, Bitcoin.

So why is this important? Well, Bitcoin’s trend is looking like it might be on its deathbed, with the 100-day EMA sneaking up to cross below the 200-day EMA. If that happens, say hello to a potential sub-$80,000 world.

ZEC hasn’t just been sitting there, though. After its breakout on November 14, it’s been riding the dips like a champ. The key resistance level is $749. Break that, and we’re eyeing $898. But a clean break could take us all the way to $1,010. You know, no biggie.

If Bitcoin continues to crash, Zcash might just rise like a phoenix while everyone else is crying in their coffee.

One more thing: the Bull Bear Power indicator is telling us that buyers are staying strong. It’s been more positive than that one friend who always claims to be ‘fine’ when they’re clearly not. So, if Bitcoin falls again, Zcash is positioned to make a comeback.

But hey, if ZEC falls below $488, we might want to rethink our plans. In that case, it could dip to $421, but only if Bitcoin stops being a hot mess.

Pi Coin (PI)

If Zcash isn’t your thing, maybe Pi Coin will be your knight in shining armor. This little gem has been one of the few to actually thrive in a market where everyone else is playing dead. Over the past month, while Bitcoin’s been on a downward spiral, Pi Coin has soared almost 18%. Like the little engine that could, but for crypto.

The secret sauce? Pi has a -0.87 correlation with Bitcoin. So, when Bitcoin’s crying in the corner, Pi Coin’s out there partying like it’s 1999.

The price structure’s looking good too. Pi is close to breaking through a key resistance at $0.25. If it manages to break that, we’re off to $0.29 and maybe even higher, depending on Bitcoin’s mood. But if it dips below $0.22, then things might get ugly fast. Think $0.20 ugly.

And if you’re into that “big money flow” thing (who isn’t?), Pi’s got that too. The Chaikin Money Flow indicator is showing that big buyers have been all over Pi like a kid on Halloween candy. This is good. Very good.

CMF’s sitting at a cool 0.11. Break that, and we might see another uptick. Pi Coin is, quite frankly, looking pretty darn solid compared to the rest of the crumbling altcoin kingdom.

Tensor (TNSR)

Let’s not forget about Tensor, which seems to be doing everything right-at least when it comes to crashing Bitcoin’s party. With a -0.90 correlation to Bitcoin, Tensor has been dancing to its own beat, soaring 340% last week, even as Bitcoin was busy falling apart.

How? Well, one wallet has been quietly stockpiling a ridiculous amount of TNSR during this rally. And guess what? It worked. Even with low activity on Tensor’s NFT marketplace (which, let’s face it, has been struggling), the price is still climbing.

The NFT trading platform token on Solana has suddenly come back to life, exploding almost +800% in a single day.

The move wasn’t random.

And the chart? Let’s just say it’s looking like it might win the “Best Recovery” award. The 20-day EMA has crossed above the 50-day and is eyeing the 100-day. If it breaks above that, Tensor could go full-on rocket mode.

Tensor’s currently hanging around $0.24 after reaching $0.36, but if it can smash through $0.38, we could be looking at $0.44, maybe even $0.72 if everything falls into place. Just don’t get too comfy. If Bitcoin decides to be a hero again, TNSR might slide down to $0.17, so keep your eyes open.

For now, with its strong accumulation, improving averages, and a fantastic negative correlation to Bitcoin, Tensor is definitely worth a spot on your watchlist.
