As the altcoin section remains bearish, some of the coins, such as Midnight (NIGHT), Hyperliquid (HYPE) and Monero (XMR), are showing accumulation signals and catalyst-driven strength. The broader market indicated extreme fear, although capital is moving toward projects having clear development milestones or tough narratives such as privacy and decentralised trading.
Midnight, trading at $0.047, is progressing as this year’s first-quarter roadmap, focused on the Kūkolu phase. This stage offers a stable mainnet having trusted validators and privacy-first applications, as per the latest January update.
Technical indicators such as Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) are surging, showing that outflows are reducing. A significant level to rebound from is $0.053, showing a potential move back towards its previous all-time high of $0.120.
The CMF of Hyperliquid has pushed beyond zero, indicating inflows are now dominating. The price of HYPE remains around $33.74, which also indicates a reported -0.22 correlation with BTC, suggesting independent price action.
Open interest on the decentralised perpetuals exchange increased to $793 million around January 26-27, up from $260 million a month before. This shows increasing demand for its derivatives market structure.
Monero is exchanging hands at around $305 after falling sharply about 30% in 11 days. The Money Flow Index (MFI) indicates that selling pressure is reaching exhaustion and is not far away.
Monero, a privacy coin rolled out in 2014, keeps up a durable narrative aimed at fungibility and censorship resistance. As wide altcoin indexes are not strong, dispersion is the prominent theme. The outshining of these mentioned tokens isn’t random.
It is a flight to quality having specific narratives. Midnight shows progress in privacy-enriching L1s. Hyperliquid shows the growing market share of high-performance decentralised derivatives platforms.
The resilience of Monero shows a determined, non-speculative demand for private transactions. These tokens are targeted bets on maturing crypto sub-sectors that are indicating independent strength.
