The TOTAL3 index, tracking performance of altcoins excluding Bitcoin and Ethereum, demonstrates consistent bullish momentum throughout October. This strong setup is attributed to a combination of factors including expanding DeFi applications and increasing institutional investment. Five cryptocurrencies—ENA, CRV, VET, OP, and INJ—are exhibiting particularly strong technical signals. These include Ethena’s successful DeFi protocol and Curve DAO’s recovery following market correction. VeChain maintains its robust supply chain integration, while Optimism and Injective continue to thrive in their respective ecosystems. Tezos also benefits from its innovative self-amending blockchain technology.
