Although the general negative atmosphere in the cryptocurrency market continues, technical indicators give upward signals in some altcoin projects. Especially Midnight (NIGHT), Hyperliquid (HYPE) and Monero (XMR) have been among the prominent names with increasing interest and developments recently. Experts in the industry are of the opinion that the progress of these three projects on the road map and strong investor interest create a remarkable divergence despite the weak general outlook in the market.
Roadmap Progress on Midnight and Hyperliquid
Continuing its plans for the first quarter of 2026, Midnight aims to implement both its secure main network and privacy-focused applications in the phase called “Kūkolu”. The project team prioritizes validators and advanced privacy features in the new era. Observers noted an increase in technical indicators, especially Chaikin Money Flow; He stated that this indicates that market outflows have decreased.
Hyperliquid, on the other hand, has been attracting the attention of investors with the increasing open positions of the decentralized derivatives exchange in recent weeks. If the CMF indicator rises above zero, it is considered a sign of a growing capital flow. The rapid increase in Hyperliquid’s open position size in the last month caused comments that it reflected confidence in the market structure.
When looking at the price movements of Hyperliquid, it is observed that its correlation with Bitcoin is low and thus it has gained an independent momentum. Experts report that the project continues to increase its share as a high-performing decentralized derivatives platform.
Selling Pressure Weakens in Monero
Monero, a privacy-focused cryptocurrency, has been known for its structure that ensures transactions are private and untraceable since its launch in 2014. Although there has been a correction of up to 30 percent in its price in the last 11 days, it is stated in technical analysis that the MFI indicator indicates that the selling pressure is decreasing.
According to analysts, Monero’s robust privacy policy and priority of privacy in transactions ensure continued interest in current market conditions.
Some market commentators cite Monero’s resilient nature as a result of its need for non-speculative, long-term trading. Within the industry, Monero’s functionality and adoption are still seen as important for privacy-seeking users.
Altcoins Differentiating in the Market and Tendency to Quality
While the general weakness in altcoin indices continues, there is a clear divergence in the market. Experts consider the advancements made by Midnight and Hyperliquid in their fields and Monero’s constant demand for privacy as an ‘escape to quality’. Capital mobility attracts attention, especially in projects that offer concrete developments in the road map, have high performance and a special narrative.
In a period when risk appetite decreased in the crypto market, technical indicators and sectoral narratives of specific projects came to the fore. These developments indicate that investors are turning to projects that are mature and have a sustainable story, rather than looking for classic altcoins.
