3 Altcoins To Watch In The Second Week Of October 2025
SPX, Optimism, and Aptos are key altcoins to watch in mid-October. Each faces crucial support and resistance levels as token unlocks add volatility.
The crypto market is looking green for the coming few days as the US Government Shutdown is expected to continue. This could continue driving Bitcoin and altcoins’ prices up, which in turn could draw fresh capital from new investors.
BeInCrypto has analysed three such altcoins that show potential to make gains in the coming few days.
SPX6900 (SPX)
SPX is trading at $1.62, maintaining its position above the crucial $1.58 support level. The altcoin has surged nearly 62% over the past week, hitting a two-month high. This sharp rally reflects renewed investor interest.
Currently, SPX is about 41% away from retesting its all-time high of $2.29, achieved in late July. Technical indicators, particularly the exponential moving averages (EMAs), highlight sustained bullish momentum. If this strength continues, SPX could break through the $1.74 resistance level and potentially climb toward $2.00 in the coming sessions.

However, market sentiment remains crucial to sustaining this rally. Should investors begin taking profits, SPX could fall below the $1.58 support. A deeper correction might push the price down to $1.39 or lower, undermining bullish momentum and signaling a temporary reversal in the altcoin’s upward trend.
Optimism (OP)
Optimism is preparing for a major token unlock this week, with 4.47 million OP tokens worth more than $3.28 million entering circulation. Historically, such events often trigger selling pressure, leading to potential short-term downside. Traders are watching closely as the increase in supply could temporarily weigh on OP’s price.
Despite the potential sell-off, technical indicators offer mixed signals. The Parabolic SAR positioned below the candlesticks indicates that OP may maintain its consolidation between $0.76 and $0.71. This pattern suggests that buyers still hold some control, keeping volatility limited as the market absorbs the new token influx.

However, if bearish sentiment strengthens after the unlock, Optimism’s price could break below the $0.71 support level. A deeper correction might drive OP down to $0.68 or even lower. Such movement would invalidate the short-term bullish outlook and highlight the token’s sensitivity to market supply dynamics.
Aptos (APT)
Aptos is set for a significant token unlock this week, with 11.31 million APT worth nearly $60 million entering circulation. Such events often introduce short-term volatility as supply increases, which could slow APT’s upward momentum and trigger selling pressure.
Despite this, Aptos has delivered strong performance, rising 24% in the past week to reach $5.31 — its highest level in two months. The Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) indicates growing capital inflows, signaling investor confidence. If buying continues, APT could push past $5.50 and $5.73 despite the unlock event.

However, the bullish outlook depends on sustained investor participation. If inflows diminish, APT could face challenges maintaining its current strength. A drop below $5.06 might lead to a deeper correction toward $4.79, effectively invalidating the bullish scenario.
