Best Cryptocurrencies to Buy Today

1. Solana (SOL)

SOL is currently trading at around $107.33, up 6.17% over the past day. In addition, its trading volume is up 62% to $6.7 billion, while the market cap stands at $62.68 billion.

Solana is facing a major sell wall near $110 after climbing from the $95 area. Whales have formed their only visible sell wall around this level. SOL recently tested $110.60 but failed to hold above the barrier. Meanwhile, the pullback found support near $106 before SOL recovered.

The $108 area is now creating the first resistance before another test of $110. A clean break above $110 could clear the main whale barrier. Whale order data shows no other sell walls between $110 and $149. However, a drop below $106 could weaken the setup and bring the $105 support area into focus.

2. Hyperliquid (HYPE)

HYPE is leading the surge today and is currently trading at around $83.15, with a 2.44% increase in the past day. Its trading volume is up 38.41% to $1.51 billion, while the market cap stands at $20.93 billion.

HYPE is retesting the $82 to $83 zone after breaking above this area during the latest rally. This zone previously capped several recovery attempts and now provides important support. The recent push reached nearly $87 before momentum cooled. Holding above $82 could support another move toward $85.

A break above $85 could bring the $87 high back into focus. Beyond $87, the $89 area becomes the next resistance. However, a clear break below $82 would weaken the breakout, and HYPE could then move toward $80. Further weakness would expose the stronger support around $77 to $78.

3. XRP

XRP is trading at $1.42, representing a 1.49% increase on the daily chart. The market cap stands at $89.45 billion. Meanwhile, the trading volume has decreased by 0.77% to $3.93 billion.

XRP is pulling back after another rejection near the heavy $1.50 to $1.53 resistance zone. This area has blocked several recovery attempts since the recent peak. Meanwhile, $1.40 is now providing the first support during the current pullback. The largest trading cluster also sits between $1.38 and $1.50, making this range important.

A recovery above $1.50 could reopen the path toward $1.57, and stronger momentum could push XRP toward $1.63 next. However, losing $1.38 would increase downside pressure and expose the stronger $1.30 support zone.
