- Uniswap (UNI): UNI remains bullish after its breakout, but the sharp rejection near $9.44 raises the risk of a short-term correction.
- Near Protocol (NEAR): NEAR’s high-volume breakout remains strong, though the rapid surge toward $4.00 leaves it vulnerable to profit-taking.
- Hyperliquid (HYPE): HYPE remains in a strong uptrend near record highs, with $92 and $100 as key levels while $85–$87 provides immediate support.
- Bitcoin (BTC): Bitcoin has recovered above $80,000, but a breakout through $81,000–$82,000 is needed to escape its month-long consolidation.
Unexpected breakthrough of UNI
After briefly reaching about $9.44, UNI is currently trading at about $8.69 as Uniswap accelerates into one of its strongest short-term breakouts of the year. UNI has almost tripled from the local bottom as a result of this move, which continues a rally that began around $3.20 in mid-August.
Because UNI firmly cleared the $7.20–$7.50 region that rejected the asset earlier in September, the most recent breakout is especially significant. UNI corrected toward $5.90 following that rejection, but sellers were unable to create a lower low. Rather, the price stabilized between $6.00 and $6.70 before soaring.
An immediate warning is introduced by the large upper wick toward $9.44. A short-term correction is becoming more likely due to the nearly vertical nature of the most recent advance and the obvious substantial supply that buyers encountered above $9.00.
Maintaining the breakout structure would require holding between $7.80 and $8.00. The more crucial support zone below it is between $7.20 and $7.50. The immediate targets if buyers regain control are $9.00 and the most recent peak of $9.44, with $10 emerging as the clear psychological level later on.
Although UNI is still technically bullish, buying at the earlier breakout level is far less risky than chasing a nearly vertical move.
Can NEAR push through?
After completely destroying resistance around $2.80–$3.00, NEAR has entered price discovery relative to its recent trading range. The asset is presently trading close to $3.62, and the candle for today is at about $3.78.
The size of the breakout is substantial. Before its recovery picked up speed in September, NEAR traded below $2.20 for the majority of June and August. Following a consolidation between $2.30 and $2.50, buyers generated a series of high-volume breakout candles through $2.60 and $3.00.
Important confirmation is provided by volume. During the most recent advance, trading activity has increased significantly, setting the breakout apart from the comparatively low-volume price movements observed in July and August. But in just a few sessions, NEAR has now gone from roughly $2.35 to $3.62.
Even if the broader bullish structure holds, this leaves the market significantly extended and susceptible to profit-taking. The psychologically significant $4.00 level comes after the immediate resistance of $3.75–$3.80.
The first important support area during a correction is $3.10–$3.20, and the main breakout support should now be around $2.80–$3.00. Although buyers are currently in the lead, volatility should continue to be extremely high following such an abrupt expansion.
Hyperliquid enters correction
After buyers erased nearly all of the mid-September correction, HYPE has returned to record levels. The most recent daily candle reached roughly $91.91, and HYPE is currently trading at $90.94.
The reason for the recovery's strength lies in what came before it. Before momentum stalled, HYPE first rose from about $58 in mid-August to the $87–$89 range. The token was later pushed back toward $76 by sellers, but this correction did not result in a wider reversal.
After buyers defended the region, HYPE produced two strong green candles that moved straight through $80 and $85. Around $92 is the current technical battle. The psychological $100 level would become more significant if there were a sustained breakout above the current high, leaving HYPE with little obvious historical resistance.
After such quick expansion, there is still a significant risk of downside. Bulls must defend the $85–$87 region first, then roughly $78–$80. Much of the most recent breakout would be negated if the latter were lost.
For the time being, HYPE's structure — higher highs, higher lows, and an aggressive recovery from each major correction — remains remarkably robust. The extent to which the price has increased is the primary cause for concern.
Bitcoin makes a comeback
After momentarily declining toward $75,000 earlier this week, Bitcoin has made another significant comeback, rising above $80,000. The broader structure of BTC remains uncertain.
After an explosive breakout from roughly $63,000 to $78,000 in August, Bitcoin spent several weeks consolidating between roughly $75,000 and $82,000. Neither buyers nor sellers have been able to establish control outside of that range, despite multiple attempts. The most recent candle significantly improves the short-term picture.
While RSI is rising from around neutral territory, Bitcoin has recovered from roughly $76,200 to $80,300. Bulls are now once again approaching the crucial $81,000–$82,000 resistance range.
Breaking that ceiling would expose roughly $83,000–$84,000 and mark the first significant expansion beyond the post-August consolidation. If it fails, Bitcoin would remain confined to the current range.
The much more significant $75,000–$76,000 zone comes after the initial support, which is located around $78,000. That area is the defining short-term support due to numerous reactions.
As a result, Bitcoin appears promising once more, but unlike HYPE, it has not really taken off yet. Whether the current rebound turns into a continuation move or just another oscillation within the month-long range should be determined by the next test of $81,000–$82,000.
