Like Chainlink and other altcoins, Tezos (XTZ) has done extremely well over recent days despite the weekend’s flash crash. On Tuesday, the popular cryptocurrency was up more than 9% on the day at one point, holding above the critical $3.00 level.<\/p>\n
Analysts say that the asset is primed to head even higher in the days ahead despite uncertainty around the Bitcoin price.<\/p>\n
At its current price of $3.20, the asset is nearly trading at highs not seen near the top of the February blow-off top for the cryptocurrency market.<\/p>\n
Analysts expect Tezos to rally even further in the weeks ahead, citing technicals and the fundamentals of the cryptocurrency.<\/p>\n
One trader shared the chart below on August 4th, noting that XTZ’s recent price action has allowed it to firmly flip the ~$3.13 horizontal into support. The asset’s recent rally has also pushed it above the upper bound of a downward channel, supporting upside.<\/p>\n

Is It Really Time For Altcoins to Outperform?\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n
Although the technicals may support an XTZ rally, some are starting to expect more Bitcoin volatility. Such volatility could suppress altcoins and their potential to rally.<\/p>\n
