The crypto market is showing early signs of rotation after a volatile start to the year. While several assets remain range-bound, select setups are quietly tightening beneath key resistance levels. Against this backdrop, BeInCrypto has identified altcoins that could hit all-time highs if momentum continues to build.

Each setup combines a strong price structure, clear upside triggers, and well-defined invalidation levels worth watching closely this week.

Monero is emerging as one of the altcoins that could hit all-time highs this week, helped by capital rotation and turbulence elsewhere in the privacy coin space. XMR is up nearly 18% in the past 24 hours and more than 35% over the past seven days, with inflows accelerating after the disruption around Zcash redirected attention toward Monero.

The XMR price is now trading just below its previous all-time high near $598, placing it firmly in breakout territory. The latest rally followed an ascending-channel breakout on January 11, which propelled momentum sharply higher. Sellers did step in near the prior peak, leaving a long upper wick, but the broader structure remains intact rather than rejected.

There is a short-term caution signal under the surface. On-Balance Volume (OBV), which tracks buying and selling pressure, is showing a bearish divergence. While the XMR price continues to push higher, OBV has formed a lower high between November 9 and January 12 (currently developing). This suggests that volume support has weakened, which explains why the initial push into the all-time-high zone encountered resistance.

Even so, the bullish structure remains valid. A clean reclaim of $592–$598 would open the path toward $658, with an extended target near $704, representing roughly 21% upside from current levels if momentum resumes and the privacy narrative stays active.

Invalidation is clear. If Monero loses $523, the otherwise strong 0.618 Fibonacci level, the breakout thesis breaks down. That would expose a deeper pullback toward $480, and potentially $411 if broader market conditions deteriorate.

Canton is another name appearing among all coins that could hit all-time highs, driven by a clean price structure. The token is up roughly 11% over the past 24 hours and now trades about 17% below its previous all-time high, keeping it firmly in breakout range.

What stands out is the daily chart structure. Canton has been forming a bull flag, a continuation pattern that usually appears after strong upside moves. That flag broke to the upside on January 11, which explains the sharp move seen over the last session. Historically, this pattern acts as a launchpad for trend continuation.

The context matters. The flag formed after a nearly 200% impulse move that carried Canton into price discovery earlier this cycle. Consolidation followed (pushing the price into the flag zone), not distribution. That makes the current breakout attempt structurally different from a late-stage rally.

For upside continuation, the first key hurdle sits near $0.177, which aligns closely with the prior all-time high. A clean daily close above that level would push Canton back into price discovery mode. If momentum holds, the $0.197 zone, the 0.618 Fibonacci extension, becomes the next upside checkpoint. Beyond that, the broader projection points toward $0.243.

Invalidation is also well-defined. If Canton loses $0.124, buyers would need to defend $0.112 aggressively. A breakdown below that level would invalidate the bull flag structure and weaken the all-time high thesis.

Rain rounds out the list of altcoins that could hit all-time highs soon. The token is trading about 5.6% below its all-time high and is down roughly 1% over the past 24 hours. Despite that pause, its seven-day performance remains positive at around 10%, showing the broader structure is still constructive.

The current setup traces back to an inverse head-and-shoulders breakout on January 6. That breakout pushed Rain into price discovery, sending it toward a new all-time high near $0.010. Since then, momentum has cooled. Price pulled back sharply, briefly dipping to $0.0081, before reclaiming the $0.0088 area.

That reclaim is important. It suggests buyers are still defending structure rather than exiting entirely. However, upside progress has stalled just below $0.0089, which has already rejected the price once. This level now acts as the first key hurdle. A clean break above $0.0089 would reopen a test of $0.010, the psychological and all-time high level. If that level flips into support, RAIN could extend toward $0.0114 under stronger market conditions.

Momentum, however, needs confirmation. On-balance volume (OBV) is flashing caution. Between January 4 and January 11, the price pushed higher while OBV moved lower, signaling weakening participation or possible profit booking beneath the rally. This divergence suggests consolidation may be needed before another breakout attempt.

If Rain fails to hold $0.0081, the next level bulls must defend is $0.0078. A loss of that zone would invalidate the bullish continuation setup and shift focus toward deeper consolidation.

For now, Rain looks more like a reset than a rejection. The structure remains intact, but volume must return before another all-time high attempt becomes likely.
