After a slow October for many altcoins, traders are now turning to tokens that may pump as market sentiment improves. With growing optimism around rate cuts and stronger liquidity across crypto, November could mark a rebound month for the broader market.
Among them are three hidden gem altcoins that have quietly built strong setups despite weak October performances. Each shows early signs of accumulation, breakout potential, and renewed buying interest; signals that could drive solid gains through November 2025.
Chainlink (LINK)Among the three hidden gem altcoins, Chainlink (LINK) stands out as one of the stronger recovery candidates for November. The RWA oracle network had a weak October, falling over 15%, but its structure and whale activity now hint that it could be one of the few tokens that may pump soon.
On-chain data shows that the top 100 addresses, or mega whales, increased their holdings by 1.84% in the past week, bringing their combined balance to 634.22 million LINK. This means whales added roughly 11.46 million LINK, worth around $205 million.
Smart money and public figure wallets also grew their positions slightly.

Ray Youssef, founder and CEO of NoOnes, supports this view.
“Whale accumulation after the post-October crash is a textbook signal of smart-money positioning ahead of further expected RWA expansion. The structural breakout above $18.70 and a series of higher lows suggest a possible bullish setup for LINK entering November,” Youssef told BeInCrypto.
Technically, LINK trades inside a symmetrical triangle, validating the higher-low setup Youssef emphasized earlier. This pattern shows continued indecision between buyers and sellers. The lower trendline has only two touchpoints, which means if strong selling appears, the invalidation scenario could gain strength, breaking the pattern to the downside.
However, if LINK closes above $18.25 and confirms a breakout, the price could push toward $20.18, and eventually $23.69, marking a 13%–30% upside move.
The Relative Strength Index (RSI), which measures buying and selling momentum, earlier showed a hidden bearish divergence (price made a lower high while RSI made a higher high), pointing to potential weakness. But the latest RSI recovery suggests that divergence is easing, a sign that whale accumulation might be restoring confidence.
If the market weakens, $17.38 and $16.98 are key supports. Losing them could expose $15.72, confirming the bearish invalidation.
Litecoin (LTC)Litecoin’s ETF story has taken center stage this week. The newly launched Canary Litecoin ETF (LTCC) crossed $1.1 million in organic volume within just two hours of debut, setting a record pace for a crypto-backed ETF.
Yet, despite this strong institutional debut, LTC’s price is down 2.7% in the last 24 hours and nearly 8.5% over the past month, showing that much of the optimism may already be priced in.
