 broke through resistance at $47.7 and $48.2 with ease, now aiming above $50 if bulls maintain pressure. On shorter time frames, $49.75 remains the key level to beat for further upside. Traders see HYPE’s liquidity and recent revival of sentiment as potential drivers, putting it on watch as the next crypto to explode this month.

Blackrock Just Crowned SUI: SUI Defies $143M Unlock as Price Pumps 8% – Will SUI Hit $5 This Week?
Those were only practice rate cuts, unironically, and we’re starting off Uptober with a solid pump. Sui Crypto has joined the upward move, with traders eyeing $5 by 2026 as a plausible milestone should the broader rally continue.

Happy Uptober
