Let's do something interesting:

What are the top cryptocurrencies to keep an eye out for this week?

The first is Bitcoin. Read on to find out about the others.

1. Top Crypto: Bitcoin

First of all, Bitcoin's growth is unmatched by any other cryptocurrencies.

This much is evident by the flagship cryptocurrency's growing dominance, and how Blockchain Center clearly shows that we are now fully in a Bitcoin season.

No other altcoin is beating Bitcoin anytime soon.

In the charts, we have a few interesting things to look at.

Bitcoin's price action

We can see how parabolic Bitcoin has been over the last few weeks, as shown above. However, the Bears won't let the Bulls have this win so easily.

Bitcoin is now facing resistance around the $31,050 mark. The cryptocurrency is trading at $30,662 at the time of writing and still has to break past July's $31,860 to confirm a full Bullish takeover.

2. Ethereum

Ethereum, despite losing some of its dominance to Bitcoin, is still doing pretty well from a price perspective.

CoinMarketCap shows that while Bitcoin has rallied by about 2.5% over the last day at the time of writing, Ethereum is giving the mother cryptocurrency a run for its money with a 24-hour increase of about $2.7%.

In the charts, Ethereum appears ready to prove itself.

Ethereum's price action

The Bulls have done well so far, but still have their work cut out for them. Like Bitcoin around $31,800, Ethereum also has a price level to cross, to prove itself fully bullish.

The cryptocurrency has to break and close above the next semi-strong resistance of around $1,745 to prove that the bulls are now fully in control.

The last five candlesticks on Ethereum's chart have been bullish, so what's one or two more?

Overall, there is a significant chance of an Ethereum price rally and a possible break above this $1,745 level this week.

3. Solana

Few other cryptocurrencies come close to what Solana has accomplished as of late.

To begin with, COinMarketCap shows that Solana has rallied by about $3.4 over the last day, and by 26.53% over the last week.

Solana's price

Solana even appears ready to break and close above $30 in the charts, which is somewhat surprising.

This was the same cryptocurrency that lost more than 80% of its value last year in November after FTX went down.

Solana's price action

Solana is about to retest July's $32 high, and everyone is watching.

Why should you keep an eye out for Solana this week?

Keep an eye out, because the cryptocurrency's price action around this $32 zone determines whether Solana is a heavy buy or a strong sell.

4. Chainlink

Chainlink is arguably the star cryptocurrency of the week.

Take a look at what CoinMarketCap Calculates:

Chainlink

According to CoinMarketCap, Chainlink is up by 6.3% over the last day, and by 30% over the last week.

According to the charts, Chainlink has been massively bullish over the last three days, after breaking past the $8.2 resistance.

Chainlink's price action

The cryptocurrency appears to be having a bit of trouble around the $11 resistance.

However, this remains one of the most valid zones to keep an eye out for this week, because Chainlink appears ready to test the $9.8 support, and may even bounce off in a retest of $11.

Chainlink's price action

A break and close below $9.8, however, will signal a continuation of the current downtrend.

5. XRP

XRP has arguably enjoyed the most bullishness this year, out of the top 10 cryptocurrencies on the market.

Bitcoin's bullishness over the last day also favoured this cryptocurrency, as CoinMarketCap data shows that XRP is up by 1.5% over the last day, and by 4.7% over the last week.

XRP's price

However, in the charts, we can see that XRP is inside a symmetric triangle, and is now struggling to bounce off this formation's lower support and aim for higher highs.

XRP's price action

From a deeper perspective, XRP is trading at about $0.527 at the time of writing and must break through the $0.55 resistance to the upside to confirm a full bullish bounce.

If the bulls fail to initiate this break and close above $0.55, however, the consequence may be drastic, as XRp explores lower lows.
