The cryptocurrency market has picked up in the last 24 hours, and traders are now looking for altcoins to watch as weekend volumes often lead to stronger movements. Some projects are showing increased demand for new updates, others are building momentum on the charts, while some are approaching levels that could determine their next trend.

This selected list from BeInCrypto highlights three setups that stand out heading into the weekend — each for different reasons.

Keeta (KTA)

KTA has risen approximately 36% in the last 24 hours. The increase comes after Keeta's launch of a new fiat peg, which allows users to transfer money between bank accounts and stablecoins with less delays. The upgrade actually increases real-world usage, so traders can keep a close eye on Keeta this weekend.

On the 12-hour chart, Keeta has broken above $0.32. The next important level is $0.36, which last rejected an attempt at an upward move. A clear close above this level could open the way for a new movement towards $0.43.

The breakout attempt occurs simultaneously with rare support from the Wyckoff volume color indicator, which is based on simple buying and selling strength.

A green bar shows that buyers have full control, a red bar shows that sellers are in charge, a blue bar shows that buyers are taking over, and a yellow bar indicates that sellers are gaining more control. Keeta has for the first time since the end of November shown two strong green bars. This suggests that there is real demand behind the breakout — not just a short-term jump.

If buying pressure continues and Keeta closes above $0.36, the way opens towards $0.43. If the bars turn blue or yellow again, profit-taking may begin. Then $0.27 will become a key support level. A break below this triggers the risk of a fall towards $0.21 and weakens the short-term trend again.

Keeta is still among the key altcoins to watch this weekend because a major update and increased buying strength now coincide with a potential breakout above $0.36.

Solana (SOL)

Solana has risen about 6% in the last 24 hours, aided by regular news from the Breakpoint event. The key update is that JPMorgan is using Solana to facilitate the issuance of tokenized certificates. Such institutional use cases keep interest high, even though there are still challenges on the chart. Therefore, SOL is among the key altcoins to keep an eye on over the next two days.

Between December 7 and 11, Solana has formed a higher low, while the RSI has shown a lower low. The RSI measures the speed of buying and selling. When the price rises but the RSI falls, a hidden bullish divergence occurs. This usually indicates that selling pressure is decreasing, even before momentum appears on the chart.

The rise has sent Solana back towards $146, a level that has stopped all attempts at upward movement since November 14. A clear daily close above this level over the weekend will confirm strength and open the way towards $171. Solana needs a rise of about 5% to test this breakout — well within the normal range when buyers come in.

If $146 is rejected once again, the support level still lies at $127. This level has held since December 2 and serves as a strong bottom. A break below this weakens the setup, but as long as the hidden bullish divergence persists, Solana still has the potential to test higher levels.

Currently, Solana is on the weekend watchlist because both the chart and Breakpoint news indicate a possible attempt at $146.

Chainlink (LINK)

Chainlink has risen about 4% in the last 24 hours. Coinbase has named LINK's CCIP as the default bridge, which could increase actual usage. If more wrapped assets are moved between networks via CCIP, demand for LINK may increase over time.

An EMA crossover is forming on the 12-hour chart. EMA stands for exponential moving average and gives more weight to recent prices. A bullish cross occurs when a shorter (20-period) EMA crosses above the longer (50-period) EMA. Traders use this crossover as a simple strength signal. It suggests that short-term buyers are taking control.

LINK is already trading above both EMA lines. This means that buyers have control heading into the weekend. If the 20/50 EMA crossover completes, LINK may attempt a quick lift. The first level is $14.23. LINK needs about 1.2% for a 12-hour close above this. A clear break above this opens the way for $14.99, then $16.78.

If the crossover fails, the risk of a decline increases. The key support level is $13.37. A break below this will open the way for $12.44 and then $11.75. Right now, the chart and Coinbase CCIP news align. Therefore, LINK is a top token to watch this weekend.
