BEST Altcoins of 2026 (BUYING SEASON)

Added: 2026-05-28

[00:00:00]Altcoin buying season is right around the corner as Bitcoin is showing a little bit of stumbling at the center point of a very, very important level that I've shown you on this show over the last few weeks, but a lot of altcoins that we've been mapping out have been performing very, very well and I'm going to go over my tier list to figure out and basically map out which altcoins I'm going to be buying into heaviest over the course of this year.

[00:00:27]As I said at the beginning of the video, Bitcoin has been slapped down on the daily candles. We were not able to prove this point of 76,800 as support and have dropped pretty decent amount so far, but we might actually be headed to the bottom of the channel around 71,900 in very short order. Now, the good news within this is that we've actually been looking for a calm down on the money flow moving to the upside to give a historic pattern of a Bitcoin bear market coming to an end where Bitcoin's money flow actually moves to the green and then falls back down to equilibrium for a few waves before taking back off to the upside. And just to show exactly what I'm talking about here, we have a red dot on the weekly for Bitcoin on Market Cipher B. The money flow showing a little bit of tiredness after a very, very sharp return to the green and a very short-lived red money flow moment.

[00:01:23]Now, if you're new and you want to check out what I'm talking about here in more precise detail, I like to buy altcoins in the chop zone. I like to buy altcoins when the money flow is riding back and forth between red and green right after the big dip in money flow to the downside. What we have going on currently is the beginning of that chop zone forming and this happens basically every time we come out of a bear market, we get a little bit of swoop to the upside and then have to ride in this accumulation zone which is marked out here, marked out here, and now we're starting to show those similar signs in our current structure. For some, this 3% dip over the last few days is going to be heartbreaking. For me, I'm excited that the historic pattern of Bitcoin and general crypto markets is continuing, which means that the compass that I'm using to time when I go in and out of all coins is likely to work just fine in the next few years here. I'm not like the people on the outside waiting for Ethereum to go to $10,000 in the blink of an eye and shoutout to Vitalik Buterin. Hope the operation goes well.

[00:02:28]Ethereum, please don't die. But, let's hop into exactly the projects that I think are going to be the strongest to buy over the course of the next few months as I see the strength in Bitcoin re-solidified, people realize it's not going to zero, and the market continues trudging forward, and innovation continues. As a quick recap of my last tier video, on the S tier, I have Morpheus, Chainlink, Solana, Tao, and Canton Network. And they are staying there. I feel great about these projects still, but there's a whole pile of projects down below that need to be placed. And let's get into exactly what I feel is going to be some of the strongest projects still remaining to cover, and then go down the list from there. Now, first and foremost on this list that must be moved to the upside is BNB, folks. BNB is absolutely an S tier coin. Now, the chart has a mechanical price defense mechanism. Something mechanical is going on within the BNB network that protects the price from cascading below $500. In this current structure, where we assume that Bitcoin is likely to writhe and kind of flail around here in the 60 to $75,000 range, it's not out of pocket for me to expect a little bit of chop in BNB's price fluctuations, but as long as I'm not buying $800 or more BNB, I'm I'm feeling decent. Now, as I said, on Bitcoin's timing, I am going to wait for a little bit more chop to happen on Bitcoin's price action before hammering back into alts, but BNB's general price defense moment is at $550.

[00:04:04]This is one of the strongest coins in crypto. This is a token that's integrated with the world's largest exchange, and it's likely not going anywhere. So, it absolutely deserves this spot at the S-tier level. Now, this next one we've been covering on the live show basically every single day. And the metrics were there for months. The revenue was exploding on it. It was moving to the beat of its own drum this entire bear market, and that token is Hyperliquid. I definitely feel good about placing Hyperliquid in the S-tier list. Now, this is a newer project, but it is very, very focused on the revenue gained from perpetuals. Leverage traders and large whales going in, trading, and this project collects a massive amount of revenue when the market gets more volatile. Key things I see is volume is increasing very, very sharply. It hit a recent all-time high of $64.60, and it really didn't ever break down below the 30 mark when we originally started really deciding that this was here to stay, right around January and February of 2026. Since that time, it's risen, at the time of this recording, by 104%, but where it's at right now, a new all-time high has been accomplished. A general bullish structure would be for Hyperliquid to go check out the support at $50, and then from there, you're basically looking at $10 increments, right? $50 is a likely turbulent zone.

[00:05:31]40 stands very strong support, and honestly, anything around the 40, 30 to $40 is just fine for me in adding to a high position here. It is an altcoin with a $15 billion market cap, though.

[00:05:45]This market cap is growing very, very quickly and Hyperliquid is rising up the ranks.

[00:05:50]Feels like almost every single day.

[00:05:52]Today it's taking a little bit of a breather and I actually want to see this price take a breather down into the support levels to see it confirmed. Now I got into crypto for freedom and this one not only offers massive amounts of freedom and privacy, but it's offering one of the best structures an altcoin has in the entire industry and that project is Monero. Monero belongs at the top. Monero is one of the few locations that we have to actually enjoy financial privacy left on planet Earth and I think that more and more people are going to opt for privacy as things get more institutionalized. And like I said, from a trading standpoint, this chart is made of dreams. From what I see, it's sitting at a $400 per token level right now.

[00:06:36]It's coming off of a massive blow off top where it ran to $800.

[00:06:40]Currently trying to fight for its right between the three to $400 range, but anything between two to $300 is a damn good snag for my portfolio on Monero.

[00:06:50]And if it never comes down to those levels and actually is able to pop off up here, I'll miss my entry point, but I have to remain patient and look to buy these levels of support. Develop the volume from here in 2017, here in 2021 and here in 2025. Now this next one's going to surprise people that I still have a mind's eye for it. It's an old school coin, but I like the chart a lot. It's got a lot of volatility.

[00:07:16]It's a smaller market cap, uh, but it's been around for a very, very long time and people love it, people hate it. So I love seeing things like this pump. It makes people absolutely It's Stellar Lumens. I know that came out of left field, but you know, Stellar Lumens, I do believe actually belongs in the A tier list.

[00:07:35]Uh, it is a good project. Stellar Lumens has RWA integration and the general chart on this thing is extremely volatile. Now, something very key to pay attention to on Stellar Lumens is that the pumps only last for a few weeks.

[00:07:50]Like here in 2024, where you basically had 2 weeks of up only action, it prints a 550% gain, and then collapses back down. But, the thing about this is is that we have a generalized higher low trend line being developed on this project. So, give a little bit more turbulence to Bitcoin, a little bit more wonder, and people freaking out acting like crypto's dead forever. Don't be surprised if this thing goes near the 11 cent market. It's at 16 cents right now, but the volatility of this project is what gets me really excited. And actually, the price per token hasn't been diminished nearly as much as a lot of the old school altcoins that have had massive inflation, the price wasn't able to move nearly what the price is able to move on Stellar Lumens. So, this is actually a really interesting project.

[00:08:36]It's been around for a long time. It moves very aggressively when it wakes up, and I think it deserves a spot right there in the A tier. Now, this final project I haven't forgot about. It was a great pick in the last bull market, and now it's coming back down to basically do or die support levels, and I'm not giving up on it. This project is Aerodrome Finance. I have not seen anything systemically come out to replace Aerodrome for the services it provides to the base network. I'm still of the opinion that Coinbase has captured Ethereum and will continue to build on top of its ecosystem and throw institutional money into the base ecosystem.

[00:09:14]Now, Aerodrome's sitting pretty flat right now. It's come down aggressively all the way to the lows of 29 cents.

[00:09:20]Currently sitting at 42 cents, this thing offers an insane risk to reward ratio, even if it just protects itself at this 29 cent level and decides to pop back up when the juice comes back to crypto. Tons of transactions are still happening on Aerodrome, and I actually think that anything under 50 cents is a decent spot to start buying this thing again. I was able to get in originally around 18 and slung it a few times over two bucks, which was great, but now we've come back home, and it's time to start thinking, is this a dead project or is it something that I want to throw my money after once again? And you know what? I'll do it again, okay? I will do it again. I like Aerodrome, and honestly, you know, it's been that way for a while. Anything under 50 cents makes sense for me to start looking at Aerodrome more seriously, but this all depends on the timing of Bitcoin's money flow to my general thesis.

[00:10:14]And I think that we are going to have some turbulence. I want Bitcoin to be able to defend the bottom end of this channel, and then, over the course of the next month or two, see this money flow just kind of equal out and start to move back to the upside in a big, big way. This has happened time and time again. This is not my first rodeo. I still like all coins a lot, but the whole goal with all coins is to get in and get out and get myself more Bitcoin by my short-term exposure to them. And I love your comments.
