Ethereum accounts for 10.1%, holding the second-largest allocation, while altcoins together represent 27.4% of total positioning. XRP and Solana stand out with 3.1% and 2.7%, respectively, reflecting growing traction across institutional and retail investors.

XRP and Solana Approach Key Resistance

XRP consolidates near $3.08, facing resistance around $3.66, with Fibonacci extensions pointing toward $4.50 as a potential upside target. Solana trades at $245.93, approaching resistance between $253 and $295, while strong support remains in the $205–$220 range.

Analysts note that many altcoins, including XRP and Solana, have not yet tested their previous highs, leaving significant upside potential. However, they caution that bag holders from higher levels may look to exit on strength, while early buyers at lower levels could secure profits.

Despite these risks, analysts emphasize that both XRP and Solana retain bullish structures. They add that momentum could accelerate if resistance levels are cleared decisively, potentially unlocking further rallies.

Altseason Signals Strengthen with Index at 70

The Altcoin Season Index climbed to 70, signaling a strong tilt toward altcoins as liquidity rotates away from Bitcoin. Altcoin market capitalization has grown from $1.2 trillion in late June to nearly $1.8 trillion in mid-September.

The cycle shows Bitcoin dominating inflows first, followed by Ethereum, and now large-cap altcoins like XRP and Solana taking leadership. With indicators pointing toward a final phase, smaller tokens may soon rally as speculative momentum and volatility expand further.
