Altcoins LINK, BCH, STX Show Potential to Outpace Bitcoin in July

Three altcoins—Chainlink (LINK), Bitcoin Cash (BCH), and Stacks (STX)—are showing strong potential to outpace Bitcoin in July. These altcoins have exhibited unique price behaviors and technical chart patterns that suggest they could surpass Bitcoin in the short term.

Chainlink (LINK) has entered a consolidation phase with decreased volatility. The asset experienced significant price fluctuations, with rapid rises in October and December 2024, followed by a decline that lasted until the first quarter of 2025. Since February 2025, LINK has been trading sideways but slightly downwards, tested by the lower Bollinger band, indicating constant selling pressure. Currently, LINK is trading at 13.44, slightly above its 20-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) of 13.06. The Bollinger Bands are converging, with the upper band at 14.06 and the lower band at 12.06. This tightening range suggests an imminent breakout.

Bitcoin Cash (BCH) has shown one of the most recent and enduring recoveries among leading cryptocurrencies. After a significant decline in value between mid-2024 and October 2024, BCH stabilized and entered a new bullish season in December 2024. BCH rose again in November and December 2025 following a brief correction earlier in the year. It is currently trading at 496.3, above the 20-day SMA of 484.3, indicating consistent upward pressure. BCH is aligning with the high Bollinger Band at 520.5, suggesting a bearish position that may face some hindrance in the coming days, although decisive price action could break it out.

Stacks (STX) provides an interesting technical setup. After a sharp price rally at the end of 2024, STX entered a steep correction phase, with prices shrinking exponentially during the latter part of the first quarter of 2025 and volatility becoming low. STX has spent most of the time from March 2025 to now in a low range. The Bollinger Bands show little distance between the upper and lower bands, with the upper band at 0.712 and the lower band at 0.575. The price value is 0.661, slightly above the 20-day SMA of 0.643. The trend indicates a shrinking market, which could precede either a bearish or bullish outbreak. The technical structure is beginning to recover early.

These altcoins have shown strength and resilience in the second half of 2025, attracting the interest of traders and investors. While Bitcoin remains a key medium in most portfolios, these altcoins are capable of catching up with and potentially outpacing Bitcoin in the short term, based on their technical indicators and framework.
