Three altcoins that have kickstarted Q4 rally: LINK, RDNT, FLOKI

Crypto market volatility seems to be making a comeback with the start of 2023’s fourth quarter , and some altcoins are already making headway. Chainlink (LINK), Radiant Capital (RDNT) and Floki Inu (FLOKI) are some cryptos that are showing aggressive upside moves. 

Chainlink (LINK) price has shot up by 39% in September, pushing past the 15-month resistance level around the $7.80 area. This massive uptick now faces a decision – an extension of this move or a pullback. Considering recent whale activity, the chances of a northbound move are high.
