3 Altcoins That Are Outperforming Bitcoin and Will Likely Face Consequences

                                 

The crypto market is going through a period of massive recovery

in the past few months, which has caused the investors’ optimism to return. While all eyes are on Bitcoin (BTC), as usual, the largest coin seems to be struggling with a major resistance level at $8,000 at the moment. While this level was breached a few times now, every breach resulted in a correction. At the time of writing, BTC is approaching this level yet again, with its current price being at $7,985,79, and rising further. The price managed to grow by 1.06% in the last 24 hours, and will undoubtedly hit $8,000 in a matter of hours, if not sooner.

However, while Bitcoin continues to remain volatile and struggles with waves of growth and decline, there are some altcoins that are not following its path. Of course, most of them are performing in pretty much the same manner as BTC, as they always had. But, a few coins have actually managed to outperform Bitcoin in recent months. While optimists believe that this might lead to decoupling from Bitcoin — something that only Binance Coin (BNB) managed to pull off up to this point — it is likely that there will be consequences for these cryptos. This likely means that a price drop for these specific coins awaits somewhere in the near future, as outperforming BTC during bull runs is not something that goes unnoticed — or unpunished.

Altcoins outperforming BTC

1. Bitcoin Cash (BCH)

Out of all the coins in the Bitcoin family, BCH has been one of the best performers ever since April 1st. It even managed to outperform BTC by nearly 25% during this time, which may come as a surprise, considering that this was a project whose update caused a second market crash back in November 2018.

However, this event, which also gave birth to Bitcoin SV (BSV) might be the very reason why BCH is outperforming BTC. Or, rather, BSV itself might be the reason. While BCH has been doing better than BTC, BSV has been outperforming BCH. In other words, the rivalry between the two, rather than the desire to get in line with Bitcoin, might be what fuels Bitcoin Cash’s great performance.

2. BitTorrent (BTT)

BitTorrent has been one of the best performers for a while now. The coin launched on January 28th on Binance Launchpad, and developed within the TRON ecosystem is still growing rapidly. In fact, it is rising through the ranks faster than any other cryptocurrency. Only a week ago, the coin was sitting at 40th spot, while it currently sits at 34th, and is threatening to fulfill Justin Sun’s promise of climbing up to top 20 in less than a month. At the time of writing, the coin’s price is at $0.001317, with 28.71% growth against the USD in the last 24 hours, and 24.07% growth against BTC during the same period.

3. Chainlink (LINK)

Finally, there is Chainlink (LINK), which is currently 26th largest cryptocurrency by market cap. The coin currently has a price of $1.13, with 12.58% growth against the USD in the last 24 hours, as well as 11.65% growth against Bitcoin. The project is seeing a lot of hype due to the fact that its MainNet is expected to see a launch in less than ten days, on May 30th.

The MainNet will allow the coin to migrate to its own network, and create its own ecosystem, which is always followed by the celebration from the community, and hype regarding the project. Whether or not the launch and following token migration will go as planned still remains to be seen. For now, however, this is one of the top performing tokens in the market.
