Top Altcoins to Buy in the Crypto Crash – Best Picks for 20 November

Bitcoin’s 7% plunge to $87,700 on Nov 20 – erasing $1 trillion from crypto’s $3.2 trillion market cap – has altcoins in freefall, down 10-20% amid Fed hawkishness and ETF outflows. Yet, analysts like Michael van de Poppe hail this as a “historic mispricing,” echoing 2022’s FTX crash where Solana rebounded 3,000%. With rate cuts eyed for 2026 and macro tailwinds, focus on resilient picks with catalysts.

1. Ethereum (ETH) – Backbone Revival
   At $3,200 (down 8%), ETH’s Fusaka upgrade (Dec 3) doubles blob capacity for 48/block, slashing L2 fees 50% via PeerDAS. ETF options trading (Oct) and $18B AUM signal rebound; whales added 800K ETH daily in June. Target: $3,900 by Nov-end (8-10% upside). Ideal for stability seekers.
2. Solana (SOL) – Speed Demon’s Surge
   SOL at $143 (off 11%) defies odds with 17-day ETF inflows ($476M, $48.5M Wed). Alpenglow (late 2025) cuts finality to 150ms; TPS hit 1,800 post-compute hike. DAUs up 18%, DeFi TVL $82M weekly. Projection: $190-200 (30%+ rally). For growth chasers.
3. Chainlink (LINK) – Oracle Empire
   LINK at $12.50 (down 6%) eyes CCIP’s $2.2B transfers across 50+ chains; v1.5 self-service boosts staking. CRE mainnet (Nov) and 12 integrations (Aug) fuel enterprise adoption; $500T RWA potential. Upside: $15 (20%). Enterprise bets.
4. Toncoin (TON) – Telegram Turbo
   TON at $5.20 (off 9%) surges on Telegram’s USDT wallet for 950M users and 500M mini-app MAUs. Cocoon AI (Nov) integrates TON rewards; exclusive Mini App blockchain. $400M VC raise (Mar). Target: $6.80 (30%).
5. Render (RNDR) – AI Render King
   RNDR at $4.20 (down 12%) ties Nvidia GPUs (RTX5090/Blackwell) for AI; GTC 2025 reveal looms. RNP-021 (Nov) expands AI/ML; $12.62 forecast. High-reward: $6 (40%).
6. Immutable (IMX) – Gaming Gateway
   IMX at $1.10 (off 10%) hits full circulation; mobile division taps $121B market, 3 games #1 on stores. 680+ games, Ubisoft tie-up; Perpetual Rewards (Apr). To $1.50 (35%).
7. Shiba Inu (SHIB) – Meme Utility Mashup
   SHIB at $0.0000082 (down 5%) launches Bitget card (Nov 19) for Visa spends; 115M SHIB rewards. Shibarium TVL $1.86M, 1B txns. Spec play: $0.000033 (300%).
