Analysts bet on XRP and Chainlink (LINK) to outperform BTC, ETH

DonAlt, a leading technical analyst known for the timing and accuracy of his crypto price prediction recently told his followers that XRP is one of the strongest assets in the ecosystem. In a new strategy session, the analyst unveiled plans to accumulate XRP in the event of another mass sell-off. 

DonAlt was quoted as saying:

If I get a breakdown on Bitcoin, the one coin that I want to be buying is XRP.

The analyst's target is to accumulate XRP if it falls to $0.38 or lower, yet he admits there is a low likelihood of such a decline happening. DonAlt is bullish on XRP and argues,

I still think they’re going to win the case so any kind of bottom in crypto I think will moon XRP hard. I know the Bitcoin pair (XRP/BTC) looks really good as well. It’s one of the best-looking charts in crypto right now.

The Ethereum-based decentralized oracle platform Chainlink (LINK) is the second-best altcoin according to DonAlt. The analyst noted that LINK has typically outperformed cryptocurrencies during a bear market. For three consecutive years since 2018, LINK outperformed the entire crypto market and emerged as a good narrative to follow. DonAlt expects another good run in LINK price before the end of the ongoing cycle. 

DonAlt’s target for LINK price is above $8. In the event of a wipeout, the analyst is keen on accumulating Chainlink tokens, predicting a recovery in the LINK/BTC pair. 

Analysts remain hopeful of Chainlink (LINK) price recovery

TheEuroSniper, a crypto analyst and trader believes Chainlink price could hit the target of $9.62. The analyst has set a target of a 27.9% rally in the altcoin and believes LINK could still hit its target despite the crypto bear market.
