The cryptocurrency market remains flat on Friday as Bitcoin holds its range, but the weekend may not stay this quiet. Three setups stand out as clear altcoins to watch this weekend, each for a different reason.

One token is trying to trigger a sentiment shift after weeks of damage. Another is fighting to maintain an uptrend. And one has been moving against the broader market for days and could surprise again. With Bitcoin stuck, these three may guide most of the short-term action.

Balancer (BAL)

Balancer is one of the more sensitive altcoins to watch this weekend, following its recent November 3 exploit. The token dropped almost 47% between late October and November 22 as confidence broke.

Now, the project plans to return approximately $8 million in recovered funds, which may bring a slight sentiment boost.

A new discussion is now live on the Balancer Forum for feedback, outlining a suggested framework for redistributing assets recovered during the recent attacks on v2, including both whitehat rescues and internal recovery efforts.

From a price perspective, BAL still trades inside a falling wedge, which is a bullish structure if the lower band holds. Support near $0.62 has stayed firm for days. The first meaningful level is $0.73.

A close above it breaks the wedge and opens a move toward $0.84. If momentum improves, the next zone sits near $0.99, where the better part of the breakdown started.

The Bull Bear Power indicator, which shows whether buyers or sellers control the price, has printed shrinking red bars since November 26. Red bars mean bears are in control; shrinking bars mean their strength is fading.

This decline in bearish pressure aligns with the wedge support and the sentiment bounce following the compensation update.

If sentiment holds and the market stays steady, BAL could be one of the more reactive weekend movers.

Zcash (ZEC)

Zcash stays on the list of altcoins to watch this weekend because its long uptrend is still intact, but pressure has increased. The token has increased in value by more than 1000% in three months, but it has dropped by about 25% over the past seven days, indicating that its momentum has slowed. The key question for traders is whether ZEC can sustain the uptrend.

There is one early sign that it might.

Between November 11 and November 20, ZEC formed a higher low on the price chart while the RSI (Relative Strength Index) — a momentum indicator — made a lower low. This is called hidden bullish divergence.

It means the trend remains strong underneath, even if the pullback appears heavy. A similar pattern emerged between October 30 and November 11, with ZEC rallying by almost 74% immediately afterward.

When the price holds higher but the RSI dips lower, it often signals a continuation in strong markets.

For this case to play out again, ZEC must reclaim $582, which has been blocked every attempt since November 23. If buyers break that level, the next major barrier sits at $743. A close above $743 would confirm that the uptrend is back in control.

If ZEC drops under $440, the hidden bullish divergence breaks. That would mean a lower low has formed, and the short-term trend turns fragile. In that case, the weekend setup weakens, and ZEC loses its continuation signal.

For now, Zcash still maintains a cleaner structure than most assets and remains one of the technical altcoins to watch this weekend, as long as $440 remains intact.

Pi Coin (PI)

Pi Coin is the last name on the list of altcoins to watch this weekend, and it earns that spot for one reason: it continues to move against the market. While Bitcoin is down about 19% and Ethereum is down 24% over the past month, Pi Coin is down only 7%. That shows clear resilience. Over the last seven days, PI is up more than 12%, making it one of the few steady gainers in a weak market.

The chart now shows why Pi Coin is worth tracking.

A bullish crossover is getting close. The 20-day EMA is rising toward the 50-day EMA. An EMA is a moving average that gives more weight to recent candles. When the shorter EMA crosses above the longer one, it often signals rising momentum.

If this crossover is completed, Pi Coin could attempt to reclaim the one level it has not been able to surpass since late October: $0.295.

A clean close above $0.295 would confirm strength. That move requires almost 15% from current levels, but Pi Coin has already demonstrated its ability to outperform when the market slows.

Support levels sit close. The first line is $0.252, which is just under the current price. If that breaks, the next supports are $0.232 and $0.220. Below that, a deeper drop could open $0.209, especially if the bullish crossover fails to complete.

XRP has jumped almost 26% since November 21, but the move has been quiet because the price keeps getting stuck at one level. Now the structure looks more interesting. Buying pressure on exchanges has surged massively in the past eight days, and the latest bearish hit failed to push the XRP price under support.

XRP is sitting just below the major barrier that has capped every attempt since mid-November. If this level breaks, the entire trend can flip.

Support Intact as the Falling Wedge Holds

XRP price continues to trade inside a falling wedge, a bullish pattern that narrows while the price moves lower. Wedges like this usually break upward once buyers show strength.

The lower band at $2.14 has absorbed every sell attempt since November 25. Even when the bearish crossover between the 100-day and 200-day EMA (Exponential Moving Average) was completed, XRP did not break down. An EMA is a moving average that gives more weight to recent candles, and bearish crossovers normally add pressure. The fact that the price held firm shows that sellers lacked momentum.

At the same time, the XRP price has begun making higher volume pushes. The On-Balance Volume (OBV) line broke above the descending trendline that capped volume since November 10. OBV measures whether volume enters or exits a token. A breakout means more volume is entering the market. This shift often appears just before key resistance breaks.

However, a breakout confirmation is needed. OBV needs to make a higher high by crossing above its immediate resistance level of 6.64 billion.

To unlock the bullish move, the XRP price still needs a clean close above $2.28. That level has blocked every upside attempt since November 17.

Exchange Outflows Signal Heavy Accumulation

On-chain flow data now supports the bullish case. Exchange net position change — which shows whether tokens are entering or leaving exchanges — flipped deeply negative on November 19. Negative (red) readings mean tokens are leaving exchanges, which signals buying pressure.

On November 19, XRP outflows were about –59.32 million tokens. By November 27, the number hit –650.45 million. That is a surge of almost 1000% in eight days. When outflows rise this fast inside a tight range, it usually means large buyers are accumulating.

This explains why the $2.14 floor never cracked even after the bearish EMA crossover.

Key Levels Decide Whether XRP Price Finally Breaks Out

The range remains narrow. The first and most important level is $2.28. It has been a strong resistance since November 17. If XRP closes above this line with rising volume, the next major target becomes $2.55, which is above the upper trendline of the wedge. A breakout above $2.55 would flip the broader structure bullish and could even confirm trend reversal.

If the XRP price fails and breaks under $2.14, the next support sits near $2.02. Losing that level delays any breakout. However, that would require a surge in selling pressure and mean that the OBV breakout failed to gain momentum.

For now, the setup leans bullish. Buying pressure is up almost 1000%. Volume has started to shift upward. Price continues to defend support. If XRP gains just 2% more and clears $2.28, it can finally break a ceiling that has held for over ten days — and start a new leg higher.
