Top 3 Altcoins to Watch for the First Week of October 2026

Source Beincrypto

Top 3 altcoins, Quant (QNT), Bitway (BTW), and Sui (SUI), rank among top seven-day gainers. QNT leads with a 300% rally, followed by BTW at 78% and SUI at 30%.

All three charts remain bullish. However, overbought readings and fading volume suggest the first week of October may bring tests of support.

Quant (QNT) Breaks Three Lower Highs After 300% Surge

The Clearing House selected Quant on September 24 to support tokenized deposit settlement across 25 major US banks. The deal triggered the largest weekly candle on QNT’s chart.

On the weekly chart, QNT broke through three lower highs. These sit at $101.87 from December 2025, $131.58 from July 2025, and $160.70 from December 2024.

Last week’s candle opened near $64 and closed at $286.64, a gain of roughly 350%. The price hit $373 before correcting about 27% to $271. QNT has since recovered to $284.30.

The weekly Relative Strength Index (RSI) reached 91 last week and has eased to 86. Both readings sit well above the December 2024 peak near 78.

A huge volume spike indicates strength behind the surge. However, the long upper wick shows sellers active near the highs. If a correction deepens, $160.70 is the first major support, roughly 43% below.

Bitway (BTW) Tests Its All-Time High Inside a Broadening Pattern

Bitway builds strategy infrastructure that links on-chain liquidity with traditional markets. BTW also appeared in the previous edition of this series.

On the daily chart, BTW has been rising inside a broadening megaphone formation. The price set a new record near $1.35 and now trades at $1.33.

External Fibonacci extensions point to targets at $1.69 and $2.14. These imply potential gains of about 27% and 61%.

In a correction, the first support sits near $0.80, just above the 0.5 Fibonacci retracement. The September 26 candle already wicked into this zone and recovered. A deeper pullback could test $0.50, just below the 0.382 retracement.

However, the RSI shows two drives of bearish divergence. Volume has also faded since August, which suggests the rally may be losing steam.

Sui (SUI) Price Faces Pullback Toward $1.12 After 0.786 Rejection

Sui gained after the Hashi protocol went live, allowing Bitcoin to serve as collateral on the network. The move also coincided with a broader market rebound.

On the daily chart, SUI reached the 0.786 Fibonacci retracement at $1.25 before pulling back. It now trades at $1.20.

A correction toward the 0.618 level at $1.12 appears likely. Deeper supports sit at the 0.382 level near $0.94 and the 0.236 level near $0.82.

A volume spike on September 21 confirmed the breakout. Since then, volume has declined while the price kept trending higher.

Still, the RSI shows no bearish divergence yet and holds near 70. Reclaiming $1.25 could open a path to the May high at $1.42.

Sui Basecamp in Singapore, scheduled for October 7 and 8, could act as a near-term catalyst.

Nvidia's $150 billion buyback landed — and the AI sector fell anyway. That's the signal worth tradingNvidia closed up 1.68% at $228.86 on 28 September after announcing a $150 billion share repurchase authorisation, the largest single corporate buyback on record, while the rest of the AI complex sold off: AMD -3.6%, Micron -2.6%, Meta -4.8% and the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index -1.61%. The divergence is not noise. Capital is rotating toward cash-flow certainty, not abandoning the AI theme. With Micron reporting after the close on 30 September, here is what the split means.
