Trending Crypto To Buy Today, October 24 – Xrp, Zec, Ip

What Happened

Early October’s (“Uptober”) buy signals in crypto markets proved fleeting. Within mere days, prices tumbled sharply following President Trump’s announcement of a 100% tariff on Chinese imports, sparking a broad shift toward risk aversion ahead of the Federal Reserve’s upcoming FOMC meeting. Still, many market observers view the pullback as a natural correction, a period of consolidation purging excessive leverage and weaker positions before a more durable advance.

Backed by partnerships with the UN Capital Development Fund and several leading U.S. financial institutions, XRP has grown into the world’s fifth-largest digital asset, boasting a market capitalization of just over $149 billion.

The company’s launch of its own stablecoin, RLUSD, signals an ambition to secure a significant share of the booming stablecoin sector.

Launched in 2016 as a Bitcoin offshoot, Zcash ($ZEC) was created to prioritize one thing above all: user privacy.

The project has already attracted more than $24.7 million in presale funding, and analysts predict post-launch gains that could exceed 10x.

Market Context

Over the past 12 months, XRP’s value has soared 369%, hitting a seven-year high of $3.65 in mid-July and far outpacing Bitcoin’s 63% gain during the same stretch. With a relative strength index (RSI) around 44 and trading below its 30-day moving average, XRP is likely trading at a discount and preparing for a festive breakout.

In the past week, ZEC has jumped 19% to $255, outperforming every top 100 crypto. While most leading tokens declined, fellow privacy crypto Monero ($XMR) also rose sharply, adding 15% to its price.

ZEC’s RSI currently sits near 63 and is downtrending as traders secure profits from the last week. If momentum persists and fundamentals strengthen, prices could hit $500 by year’s end.

Story rose 4% in the last 24 hours, and with a low RSI of 38, positive market momentum gives it plenty of headroom to lock in more aggressive profits quickly.

That said, from its current price of $5.41, there will be sticky resistance around $10 and $1,5 but if it clears this and the market enters a bull cycle, Story can manage an easy 10x by the end of the year.

HYPER enhances Bitcoin’s network with faster transaction speeds, decentralized DAO-based governance, and expanded smart contract capabilities through a dedicated Layer-2 framework.

Why It Matters

Technical patterns show two bullish flag formations during the summer, suggesting room for further appreciation if ETF approvals arrive by mid-October. Passage of comprehensive U.S. crypto regulation could propel XRP toward the $5–$10 range.

As Web3 expands beyond finance into entertainment and culture, Story is a project that provides a new crossroads for art, technology, and ownership to realise the true extent of blockchain’s potential.
