Solana (SOL) climbed to $98.41 last week but failed to break the $100 psychological barrier, keeping the broader bearish structure intact. A defined range from $76.7 to $97.6 places focus on the $87.2 mid-level, which was recently broken and then retested as resistance. On lower timeframes, the $88–$89 area stands out as a key volume cluster, with a move beyond $89 potentially shifting the short-term bias bullish.

WLFI saw a major profit-taking wave on May 18, when 1.8 billion tokens were sold at a profit, alongside record "age consumed" activity. The move followed Binance launching a USD1/BTC pair tied to WLFI's USD1 stablecoin, while WLFI later traded near $0.061 with a roughly $1.9 billion market cap.

Trader Don says Shiba Inu (SHIB) may be set for a momentum-driven breakout if it decisively clears a long-running descending resistance. He points to SHIB's market cap near $3.38 billion and outlines potential milestones at $3.74 billion, $8.54 billion, and $20 billion, with corresponding price references tied to the current supply.

Market analyst Matt Hughes says Ripple's XRP is forming a breakout structure but still needs a decisive close above the $1.51 resistance zone. He cites repeated rejections over the past four months, with recent peaks at $1.54 on May 14 and prior pushes to $1.65 after a Feb. 6 low near $1.10 and to around $1.60 on March 17. If confirmed, Hughes flags $2.71 as the next key resistance, while commentator Celal Kucuker argues a full breakout could extend toward $15.

Chainlink (LINK) fell below $10 and was last cited trading near $9.60 after a rejection around $10.70. Between May 9 and 10, active addresses spiked to over 280,000 versus a historical baseline near 3,000, while Binance’s LINK reserve declined over the past 14 days from 86.3 million to 85.8 million tokens. The same analysis points to persistently negative 7-day average netflows, suggesting outflows outweighed inflows during the surge.

On May 21, 2026, XRP traded around $1.36 and finished at $1.3633, staying roughly $0.013 above the $1.35 support area that has held three daily-chart tests since mid-April.

HYPE, Hyperliquid's native token, surged to a new all-time high of $61.68 during U.S. trading hours as volumes reached a three-month peak. The move came alongside rising interest from whales and wallets associated with Grayscale and Bitwise, while derivatives activity expanded with open interest pushing above $2.1B.

Analyst Michaël van de Poppe says SUI is being overlooked despite ongoing infrastructure and institutional-facing progress, as attention centered on the token's drop from $5.35 to about $0.90. He highlighted milestones such as a fifth spot crypto ETP listed in February 2026, CME futures going live, and March stablecoin transfers surpassing $1 trillion, while SUI traded at $1.0896 at press time.
