Leading altcoins like Ethereum, XRP, and Monero, or any other top 50 altcoins for that matter, have all been facing a similar price movement over the past couple of days. 22 days since ‘Black Thursday,’ the after-effects are still being felt, with many altcoins signaling a highly volatile period in the near future.

However, the Bollinger Bands and the CMF indicator in the above chart pointed towards an upward breakout for ETH in the coming days. The CMF indicator lay above 0.08, indicating bullish momentum and the Bollinger Bands were widening, highlighting an increase in volatility.
