This article will take a look at ten cryptocurrencies that have interesting developments lined up for the month of May, which could also have a positive effect on their price.

HBAR

Current Price : $0.291
Market Cap: $2.348 billion
Market Cap Rank: #55

The Hedera Network is a public ledger that uses the hashgraph consensus as opposed to the blockchain one. It works with very high efficiency, allowing for more than 10,000 transactions per second, with fees as low as $0.0001.

HBAR is the native token of the Hedera network. It is used to protect the network and power decentralized applications (dApps)

On May 6, Hedera will upgrade its mainnet to version 0.13.2. The upgrade will add two additional nodes, bringing the total count to 20. In addition, it will also enable the Scheduled Transactions feature.

HBAR has been moving downwards since March 15, when it reached a high of $0.445. However, it seemingly reversed its trend with a hammer candlestick on April 23. Currently, it is attempting to reclaim the $0.30 resistance area.

The current price is 36% below that of the March highs.

LSK

Current Price : $5.25
Market Cap: $671 million
Market Cap Rank: #112

Lisk is a blockchain application platform that uses the proof-of-stake algorithm. LSK is the native token of the platform.

The 2021 event will be held on May 21 and May 22. It will feature in-depth presentations, providing a deep-dive into numerous important events, such as:

The Lisk interoperability solution.
The upcoming online hackathon.
The improved Lisk developer program.
The new Lisk core, SDK 5.1.0.

LSK began a sharp decrease on April 17, losing 56% of its value in only six day. However, it bounced at the $3.80 area, validating it as support. It has been moving upwards since.

Market Cap Rank: #6

The Alonzo testnet is expected to come out in May. It will allow developers to create and deploy their dApps in the Cardano blockchain. This is expected to potentially make Cardano a viable competitor to ETH, since its functionality will apparently allow it to dabble in the DeFi ecosystem.

ADA has been trading inside an ascending parallel channel since the beginning of March. On April 23, it bounced at the support line of the channel and has been increasing since.

The bounce also served to validate the $1.04 area as support, a level which previously acted as the all-time high resistance area.

The mainnet will have several new features, such as a built-in oracle, on-chain governance, and distributed object storage system.

NEO has been moving upwards since April 23, and broke out from a descending resistance line shortly afterwards. However, it has yet to even reclaim the 0.382 Fib resistance levels.

BSV was subject to a sharp decrease beginning on April 16. In a span of only seven days, it lost 55% of its value. While it has been moving upwards since, similarly to NEO, it has yet to even move above the 0.382 Fib retracement resistance level.
