3 Coins to Watch This Week (October 25 to October 31): Relative Strength and Real Catalysts
When the broader crypto market pulls back 3.8% over a two-week stretch and flushes out late leverage, the best signal you can watch is relative strength: which assets are holding their structure, printing higher lows, or backed by real ecosystem usage while everything else bleeds.
Here are three coins on my radar heading into the final week of October 2026:
1. $BNB ($737.02, +0.69% in 24h, +2.36% over 7 days, $833 million 24h volume).
While Bitcoin and Ethereum spent the week in the red, BNB quietly gained 2.36% over the past seven days and bounced cleanly from $717.91 to $747.79. The fundamental driver is clear: BNB Chain has become the leading network for tokenized equities, with Binance bStocks crossing $1 billion in assets under management and nearly $40 billion in cumulative trading volume. Watch the $718 to $725 support shelf and the $748 to $755 resistance zone for a potential continuation move.
2. $XRP ($1.29, +1.44% in 24h, +0.09% over 7 days, $1.28 billion 24h volume).
XRP is one of the very few large-cap assets holding positive territory on both the 24-hour and 7-day charts during this week's market pullback. Buyers stepped in consistently between $1.25 and $1.26, keeping price compressed just below the $1.31 to $1.37 resistance band. If market sentiment stabilizes this week, a high-volume push through $1.32 is the key trigger to watch.
3. $SOL ($100.80, $2.01 billion 24h volume, $59.45 billion market cap).
Solana is retesting the $98.50 to $100.00 demand zone just days after completing its Alpenglow mainnet consensus migration on October 21 and surpassing 14 million stablecoin holders on the network. If buyers continue to absorb sell pressure around $100 and reclaim $105.10, SOL has room to retest its $109.15 weekly high.
Remember that watching a setup is not the same as aping in blindly. Wait for confirmation at your key levels, keep your position sizes sensible, and always do your own research. Not financial advice.
