đ Avalanche, Cardano, Hyperliquid & Chainlink Defy Gravity With Explosive Price Surges
Crypto markets roar back as four altcoins post double-digit gainsâjust as Wall Street analysts finish downgrading them.
The Contenders:
Avalanche smashes through resistance levels like a bull in a china shop. Cardanoâs smart contracts finally wake up from their 18-month nap. Hyperliquidâs perpetual swaps see volumes spike 300%âmostly from degens chasing the pump. Chainlink oracles feed price data to the frenzy while accumulating fees like a toll booth on the crypto highway.
Why It Matters:
The rally comes despite SEC Chair Gary Genslerâs latest âall tokens are securitiesâ sermonâproving once again that crypto markets move faster than regulators can draft warning letters.
The Bottom Line:
Traders pile in as shorts get liquidated. Traditional finance bros grumble about âlack of fundamentalsâ while secretly FOMOing into ETH ETFs. Same circus, different flying trapeze artists.


Institutional Influence on AVAX and ADA
On July 8-9, Projective Finance introduced a $7 million USDC-backed loan pool for municipal solar projects in Illinois leveraging the Avalanche network. This venture, offering a regulated revenue stream, attracted funds aiming for low-risk returns toward AVAX tokens.
AVAXâs price ascended above the 7-day SMA and EMA, reaching $18.49, strengthened by a positive MACD histogram and a 10% volume increase, enhancing its short-term outlook. Furthermore, community Optimism surpassed 80%, and a neutral RSI of 48.7 bolstered buy orders.
On the Cardano front, Grayscale reinforced institutional confidence by raising its ADA share to 18.5% within its $1.1 billion Smart Contract Fund. Over the past two weeks, 120 million ADA (about $72 million) were withdrawn from exchanges, elevating expectations amid discussions on an expedited SEC ETF framework. ADA coins tested the upper band of a descending wedge, touching $0.6053. A positive MACD crossover and an RSI of 47.62 indicated that ADA remained outside of the overbought zone, with room for further gains.
HYPE and LINK Emerging as Strong Contenders
Hyperliquidâs HYPE token surged to $39.22 following $6.14 million in purchases from four whale wallets, ahead of the Kinetiq staking platform launch on July 15. With a total of 847,000 HYPE (valued at $33.2 million) remaining locked and Phantom wallet integrated for 15 million users, additional liquidity was ensured. A risk of short position liquidation exceeding $6 million at the $42 mark loomed. The RSI at 53.13 maintained neutrality, while volume-supported technical indicators hinted at sustained upward movement.
Chainlink ROSE to $14.03, fueled by its mention as essential infrastructure in Bitwiseâs report on the tokenization market, further highlighted by partnerships with JPMorgan and Solana$154, augmenting demand.
The MACD histogram turned positive for the first time since June 25, as prices hovered above the pivot point. A 52.6% jump in 24-hour volume to $406 million and a slight retreat in Bitcoin$109,417âs dominance contributed to the favorable outlook for altcoins during this period.
