Several altcoins have seen a dramatic increase in whale activity this past week, presenting a potential opportunity for investors to identify crypto projects poised for short-term price rallies.

Blockchain analytics platform Santiment recently shared a list of ten digital asset projects with the biggest jump in whale activity, which could herald upcoming price movements.

In an X post, Santiment highlighted ApeCoin (APE), SushiSwap (SUSHI), Treasure DAO (MAGIC), HOLO (HOT), API3DAO (API3), Frax Finance (FRAX), Aragon Project (ANT), AIOZ Network (AIOZ), MetisL2 (METIS), and Chintai Network (CHEX).

According to Santiment, any cryptocurrency with five times its normal whale transactions in a week “has a much higher chance of major price swings that go against their recent trends.”

This means that if an altcoin has been underperforming, it might become bullish. However, “if the price is already outperforming the market and whale transactions spike, it likely signals a price drop.”
