The crypto market melted down again, with Bitcoin reaching $96,000 in intraday trading. Most major cryptocurrencies, such as Ethereum, XRP, Solana, Cardano, Chainlink, and BNB, also followed the red candles of the master coin, dipping heavily in the past 24 hours. Although the market nosedived, trending coins have surfaced as usual. This time, AltCoin Desk has picked coins priced between $1 and $5 — Virtuals Protocol (VIRTUAL), Sui (SUI), and Firo (FIRO) — for its coin prices.
Virtuals Protocol (VIRTUAL)
Current price: $1.20
Market cap: $779.49 million
On a 4-hour trading chart, VIRTUAL shows a rising wedge pattern, and the coin has steeply nosedived to its current price. The coin showed an early uptrend during April and May, and then followed a long downtrend correction. Also, sellers remain active on VIRTUAL coin. The coin’s current price is slightly close to $1.40 resistance level. If it needs to showcase a major bullish trend, it must at least reach this resistance point, and then further go up.
However, traders are more bullish on VIRTUAL, whereas bearish sentiment is very low.
Sui (SUI)
Current price: $1.78
Market cap: $6.55 billionÂ
Sui (SUI) has been going through frequent dips since October 10, when the entire market met its worst period. The coin has formed a falling wedge pattern from July 10 to October 9, 2025. Typically, a falling wedge follows a bullish outbreak, but for SUI, the days turned red. It formed lower lows and lower highs, nosediving to $1.78.
The community sentiment toward Sui is 84% bullish and 16% bearish.
Firo (FIRO)
Current price: $3
Market cap: $52.82 million
Firo (FIRO) shows a parabolic movement that has resulted in a bullish trend. This gradual uptrend started in the first week of October and continues with milder dips. As FIRO has formed a bull flag, its price is expected to go up in the coming days. The coin has also crossed its $2.6 resistance zone, eagerly looking to cross the next resistance zone at $4.36.
Like Sui, bullish sentiment toward FIRO is also high when compared to bearish sentiment.
Even in a down market, coins like VIRTUAL, SUI, and FIRO have shown trending performance with strong patterns, which may lead to a potential hike in the coming weeks. If the market becomes steadier, these coins, priced between $1 and $5, could be ones to watch for the next breakout.
