U.S. President Donald Trump’s announcement of the Strategic Crypto Reserve shook the markets

Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH) and the made in USA category of altcoins XRP, Solana (SOL), Cardano (ADA) are part of the strategic reserve.

U.S. President Donald Trump’s announcement of the Strategic Crypto Reserve shook the markets and turned traders risk-averse after the pump and dump on Monday. Bitcoin closed February at the most negative returns, at 17.39% decline, for the first time since 2014.

The American crypto tokens, that is, the coins and best performing category in the emerging regulatory clarity for meme coins, AI tokens and cryptocurrencies, top talent and robust infrastructure and support for blockchain innovation under the new administration had traders optimistic. But this quickly turned sour with over $1.07 billion in liquidations in the last 24 hours.

As traders reel from the aftermath of the series of events, they can now look forward to the White House Crypto Summit planned for March 7, Friday.

Top 5 Made in USA altcoins to buy

The top five picks in the made in USA category are based on their price trend and on-chain analysis.

Among other tokens, Pi Network (PI) rose to top 20 tokens by market capitalization in the past few weeks, with notable developments in the project. Hedera (HBAR), Avalanche (AVAX), and Sui (SUI) are the other key tokens in the category.

In mid-February 2025, Nansen analysts reported on the rise of “made in USA” narrative and top tokens in the category, reinforcing U.S. dominance in the crypto ecosystem.

Among the top tokens that feature in the strategic crypto reserve, traders are bullish on XRP, Solana and Cardano. Here’s a breakdown of the buy zones, analysis and price targets for the three altcoins:

XRP price target

The XRP/USDT daily price chart on Crypto.news shows the buy zone for the altcoin is between the 50-day and 100-day Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs), between $2.3020 and $2.5203. The token could test resistance at $3.0030, the upper boundary of an imbalance zone on the daily price chart.

The technical indicators RSI and MACD support a bullish thesis for XRP. RSI is sloping upwards and reads 49, close to neutral. MACD flashes green histogram bars above the neutral line.

The target for XRP price is the $3.40 peak, and the immediate resistance is at the $3.0030 level.

Solana price target

Solana trades at $147.78 at the time of writing. The Ethereum competitor token is close to its long-term support at $150, and a daily candlestick close above this level could signal a likelihood of a rally to resistance at $180.

SOL’s three EMAs, 50, 100, and 200-day EMAs at $182.85, $191.30, and $184.91, are key resistances for the token in its uptrend.

The momentum indicators on the daily price chart support a bullish thesis for Solana, signaling a positive underlying momentum in Solana’s price trend.

Cardano price target

Cardano trades at $0.9973 at the time of writing. The Ethereum competitor’s buy zone is located between $0.9837 and $0.8235, two key support levels for ADA.

ADA is trading above its three long-term EMAs, as seen on the daily price chart. ADA could test resistance at $1.1723, the upper boundary of a Fair Value Gap on the ADA/USDT daily chart. This marks an 18% rally in Cardano price.

The two technical indicators, RSI and MACD support a bullish thesis for Cardano.
