According to his analysis, a symmetrical triangle pattern is now visible, and the price is moving within converging trendlines. This pattern suggests a potential breakout soon. If bulls maintain pressure, the price could break above $0.8.

If the price breaks above the triangle, $0.820 could act as the next resistance. Beyond that, $0.900 remains the next target zone. On the downside, the lower trendline and $0.700 act as support.

2. Avalanche (AVAX)

The native coin of the Avalanche blockchain is trading at $32.83, a 5.54% increase in the past day. Its trading volume has increased by 5.31% to $314.92 million, while the market cap stands at $10.02 billion. In addition, the coin has gained 9.69% in the past week.

AVAX is trading within a long-term symmetrical triangle on the weekly chart. The pattern has formed with lower highs and higher lows, and the price is now approaching the triangle’s apex. The resistance line sits near $48 as the price has rejected this zone multiple times in past attempts. The ascending support line holds firm around the $19 level, which confirms it as a strong demand zone.

If buyers push the price above $48, the next target could reach above $70. A breakout may extend toward $100 if volume supports the move.

3. Hyperliquid (HYPE)

The native token of the Hyperliquid blockchain is trading at $38.87, representing a 12.49% increase over the last 24 hours. The market cap stands at $12.98 billion, and the trading volume has increased by 65.05% to $484.84 million.

HYPE is among the best gainers today after it set a new ATH of $39.95 earlier today. The coin has seen a huge rally and reached its first ATH of $37.1 on May 23. Moreover, the open interest of Hyperliquid has surged to $1.41 billion, representing a 16.29% increase. Moreover, the volume on the HYPE derivatives has surged 77.76% to $1.81 billion.

The surge in the native token and the open interest on the platform stem from the recent trading activity on the platform. Specifically, James Wynn, a crypto trader, opened a $1 billion short position on Bitcoin with 40x leverage. The trade is one of the largest on-chain bets in the recent past. The rising open interest will likely push the native token to smash another ATH soon.

James Wynn is a very degenerate gambler.

After closing his $1.2 billion long position on BTC, resulting in a $13.39 million loss on that trade, he was still in profit of $8.45M~. However, he re-opened a 9,402.73 BTC ($1 billion) short position and closed at a $13.4 million loss.… pic.twitter.com/tjCtnSdJeE
