#TopContentChallenge#  3 Altcoins Possible to Reach Highs in the Third Week of August.
Cryptocurrency markets have been taking a serious hit over the past week. Bitcoin is currently trading below $116,000 and has lost 5.3% of its value over the past seven days. Ethereum, meanwhile, is trading below $4,300 and, like many other altcoins, is in the red.
However, despite this general decline, three altcoins are quietly defying the trend. If you're looking to capture assets on the brink of price discovery, you should take a closer look at these three.
