Top 3 Altcoins Trending in Nigeria in the Third Week of September
Nigerian traders are driving momentum behind BNB, Avantis (AVNT), and APX this week, with each altcoin showing strong rallies but also warning signals that could test their staying power.
This week in crypto markets has been marked by heightened activity, driven in part by the US Federal Reserve’s interest rate cut. The move fueled an uptick in the broader rally, pushing the global crypto market capitalization up by 3% over the past seven days.
Amid this rebound, certain digital assets have captured particular attention among Nigerian traders. Today, BNB, Avantis (AVNT), and APX are the top three trending altcoins in that region.
BNB
BNB’s recent rally to an all-time high above the $1,000 price mark has put it firmly on the radar of Nigerian traders. While its price has since eased slightly, now hovering close to its peak at $998, market signals suggest bullish sentiment remains strong.
This is reflected in the coin’s Balance of Power (BOP), which currently sits at 0.65, showing buyers’ dominance in the spot market.
The BoP indicator measures the strength of buying versus selling pressure over a given period. Positive readings indicate that bulls are in control, while negative values point to stronger selling activity.
BNB’s climbing BOP highlights that, despite its minor pullback from record highs, buyers continue to hold the upper hand.If bullish confidence grows, BNB could revisit its all-time high at $1,001 and attempt to break above it.
On the other hand, if profit-taking strengthens, BNB could fall toward $877.01.

Avantis (AVNT)
AVNT, the native token of Avantis, a Real World Assets (RWA) perpetuals DEX, is another altcoin trending in Nigeria today. Currently trading at $1.03, the token is up over 240% in the past seven days.
However, this price hike has led to the gradual emergence of sellers, which may threaten its current rally.
Readings from the token’s negative Elder-Ray Index reflect this. As of this writing, it stands at -0.057, indicating growing bearish control.
The Elder-Ray Index measures the balance between bullish and bearish pressure by analyzing the difference between an asset’s exponential moving average (EMA) and the strength of bulls or bears in the market. A positive reading signals buyers are in control, suggesting upward momentum. Conversely, when its value is negative, as with AVNT, it points to sustained sell-side pressure.
If this bearish momentum strengthens further, it could drag the token’s price below the $1 mark.

On the other hand, a resurgence in demand could flip sentiment and drive a rally toward $1.26.
APX
BNB-Chain-based APX is another cryptocurrency trending in Nigeria today. Its price performance mirrors the broader market uptick of the past day, recording an impressive 34% gain. However, its daily trading volume has dropped by nearly 50%, a divergence that suggests the rally may be losing momentum.
Typically, when an asset’s price rises while trading volume falls, it signals weakening conviction behind the move. This divergence hints that fewer buyers are driving the price action, raising the risk of a short-term pullback.
If momentum weakens, APX could slip below the $0.64 mark.

On the other hand, if renewed demand enters the market, APX’s price could revisit its all-time high of $0.80.

Ford Publicly Hits Back at US Secretary of Transportation, US Auto Industry "Fighting to Preserve Electric Vehicles"
The U.S. Secretary of Transportation is pressuring to cut off cooperation with Chinese companies such as CATL. Ford criticized Secretary Buttigieg for "overstepping" and being "factually incorrect," citing positive statements from the White House and the Department of Commerce as evidence that Buttigieg does not represent the official government position. The core conflict lies in the fact that U.S. carmakers' transition to electrification is highly dependent on Chinese battery technology. Severing cooperation would force them back into the shrinking fuel vehicle market, putting the policy goals of manufacturing reshoring and electrification upgrades in a dilemma.

They boosted the Yen but failed to hold U.S. Treasury bonds! Is Basent a "weak teammate" for U.S. stocks?
This week, Besant made high-profile calls to suppress yen short positions and raised the US Treasury repo limit to $6 billion. As a result, the yen strengthened, but US Treasuries declined—10-year yields hit their highest level since October 2023, and 30-year yields approached a twenty-year peak. Analysts noted that the combination of a stronger yen and rising US Treasury yields is simultaneously impacting carry trades and stock valuations, posing a dual threat to the US stock market bull run. This is described as "the greatest risk facing the bull market."
SK hynix US stocks surge to new highs, storage sector strengthens across the board! Goldman Sachs declares: The worst days are over
A Goldman Sachs research report ignited the storage sector, with SK Hynix soaring 7% on the US stock market in a single day to a record high. Micron and SanDisk also rose in tandem, outperforming the broader market. Goldman Sachs pointed out that a technical breakout in the storage sector, combined with low hedge fund positions, has shifted the "pain trade" direction upward. However, on the same day, the CEO of Kioxia poured cold water on the rally, stating bluntly that NAND "prices have risen enough." Amid this tug-of-war between bulls and bears, Micron's September 30 earnings report will be a key deciding factor.
