Why Are These Altcoins Are Trending Today, October 18?
Today, October 18, several altcoins are seeing mild price increases, suggesting that many could finish the week on a positive note. Interestingly, while some tokens have managed to hold their ground, not all of today’s trending altcoins are performing similarly.
The top three for today are Solidus Ai Tech (AITECH), Turbo (TURBO), and Dog Food Token (OISHII). Here’s why these altcoins are trending and what could be next for their prices.
Solidus Ai Tech (AITECH)
AITECH is one of the top trending altcoins for the second consecutive day. Yesterday, BeInCrypto suggested that AITECH’s price might undergo a slight decline. As of this writing, the price has lost 3% of its value in the last 24 hours.
According to the daily chart, the altcoin has fallen below the 20-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA). Typically, when the cryptocurrency’s price rises above this indicator (in blue), it gives more credence to an upswing.
But a decline indicates otherwise. As such, AITECH’s value risks undergoing another decline. Furthermore, the token is around the same spot as the 50 EMA (yellow), suggesting an extended downturn to $0.082.

However, the altcoin’s price might rebound if bulls push it back above the 20 EMA. if that happens, AITECH could jump to $0.12.
Turbo (TURBO)
Turbo’s emergence as one of the trending altcoins marks its third consecutive appearance and is trending today due to increasing investor interest. Over the past 30 days, TURBO’s price has surged by 100%, making the AI-themed meme coin a token to watch closely.
However, its value has dropped by 5% within the last 24 hours. The daily chart shows that bulls are defending the $0.10 support so the crypto can escape another downturn. If sustained, TURBO’s price can bounce and move toward $0.015, which would represent a 47% price increase.
On the contrary, the altcoin might not be able to reach this point if bears push bulls out of the way. If that happens, TURBO might decline to $0.0079.
Dog Food Token (OISHII)
Out of the top altcoin trading today, Dog Food Token is the only one with a significant price increase over the last 24 hours. Within the mentioned period, OISHII, built on Ethereum, experienced an astonishing 565% price surge.
This remarkable increase is the key reason why it is trending. According to the daily OISHII/WETH pair, the Awesome Oscillator (AO), which measures historical price movements with recent ones, is positive. This positive reading suggests rising momentum with OISHII despite the massive increase.
Should momentum stay bullish and buying pressure increases, then OISHII’s price could break the resistance a $0.14. If that happens, the altcoin’s price could rally to $0.18.

In the event that profit-taking climbs, this prediction might be invalidated, and OSHII could sink to $0.084 or as low as $0.054 in a highly bearish scenario.

The first major resistance is near the $2,770 level or the 50% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $3,403 wing high to the $2,127 swing low.

TRUMP Price Turns Bearish After 72% Crash From All-Time High
TRUMP price has continued its downward trajectory, currently trading near $21 after a sharp decline of roughly 72% from its all-time high. Over the past 24 hours, the meme coin has dropped another 9%, extending its losses to nearly 30% in a week.
TRUMP lost nearly $10 billion in market cap over the past two weeks, reflecting ongoing selling pressure. As technical indicators like RSI and CMF remain weak, the meme coin faces a critical test to determine whether it can regain momentum or risk further downside.
TRUMP RSI Shows Sellers Are Still In Control Despite The Recent Recovery
TRUMP RSI is currently at 31.68, remaining below the 50 mark for the past seven days, with a notable low of 19.8 on February 1. This extended period of weak RSI suggests persistent selling pressure, as the token has struggled to generate enough momentum for a meaningful recovery.
A sharp dip to 19.8 highlights an extreme level of bearish sentiment, though the recent recovery to 31.68 indicates some stabilization. However, the inability to cross 50 suggests that bullish strength remains limited, keeping TRUMP in a vulnerable position.
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is a momentum oscillator that measures the speed and magnitude of price movements, ranging from 0 to 100.
Readings above 70 indicate overbought conditions, signaling a possible correction, while readings below 30 suggest an asset is oversold and may be primed for a rebound.
With TRUMP RSI at 31.68, it is hovering just above oversold territory but still below the neutral 50 level, indicating that sellers continue to dominate.
The inability to reclaim 50 over the past week reinforces a bearish outlook, as it reflects a lack of sustained buying pressure necessary to shift market sentiment.
CMF Is Currently At Very Low Levels
TRUMP CMF is currently at -0.23, marking its third consecutive day in negative territory. Yesterday, it hit an all-time low of -0.27, reflecting a significant outflow of capital.
This sustained negative reading suggests that selling pressure has outweighed buying interest, with more volume being transacted at lower prices.
While the slight recovery to -0.23 indicates some stabilization, the overall trend remains bearish, signaling that TRUMP is struggling to attract consistent liquidity inflows.
The Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) is an indicator that measures the accumulation and distribution of capital based on price and volume over a specified period. It ranges from -1 to 1, with positive values indicating strong buying pressure and negative values suggesting persistent selling pressure.
A CMF reading of -0.23 means that sellers are in control, as more volume is flowing out of TRUMP than into it. Given that CMF has remained negative for three days and recently hit its lowest level ever, this suggests weak demand and a lack of sustained buying support, which could keep TRUMP price under pressure in the short term.
TRUMP Price Prediction: More Corrections Ahead?
The TRUMP meme coin is currently trading near the $21 level, facing a key resistance at $24.58. As one of the most hyped meme coins ever launched, a resurgence in momentum could drive a breakout above this resistance.
If buying pressure strengthens and TRUMP reclaims bullish momentum, testing $24.58 becomes a likely scenario.
A successful breakout above this level could trigger further upside, potentially leading to a test of $30.47 in the near term as traders capitalize on renewed enthusiasm.
On the other hand, if TRUMP price fails to establish an uptrend and sellers maintain control, downward pressure could intensify. A lack of buying strength might push the price lower, with $18.56 acting as the next major support level.
If bearish sentiment deepens and volume favors sellers, TRUMP price could break below this level, opening the possibility for further downside.
