Cardano, Hyperliquid, Shiba Inu and Stellar are testing key support zones after recent pullbacks. Here are the levels that could determine their next moves.
ADA$0.210109+1.68%
HYPE$79.98+2.19%
SHIB$0.000005+0.58%
XLM$0.193172+8.29%Cardano (ADA), Hyperliquid (HYPE), Shiba Inu (SHIB) and Stellar (XLM) are all testing important support zones after recent pullbacks.
ADA is holding near $0.20, while HYPE is consolidating around $77 after a sharp rally. SHIB remains stuck below major resistance, and XLM is trading inside a tight range.
The next moves will depend on whether buyers can defend support and reclaim key resistance levels.
Cardano is showing a relatively shallow correction after failing to extend its August breakout.
ADA is trading near $0.205 and remains close to a cluster of short- and medium-term moving averages. The broader recovery began after the token bottomed near $0.14 in late June.
Buyers then pushed ADA above $0.18 and $0.20 before the August rally took it toward $0.26. However, the move was rejected near the declining long-term moving average.
Since then, ADA has established resistance around $0.22 - $0.23. The recent decline has brought the price back toward the $0.195 - $0.20 support zone.
This area is important because several moving averages are converging around it. A successful defense could keep the higher-low structure from June intact.
However, losing $0.195 - $0.20 could expose $0.18 - $0.185 and weaken the broader recovery structure.
The RSI is close to 50, showing that momentum is currently neutral.
For ADA bulls, the first major hurdle is $0.22. A sustained break above that level could reopen the path toward $0.24 - $0.26.
Hyperliquid is facing a deeper correction, but its broader technical structure remains stronger than ADA's.
HYPE is trading around $77.90 after falling from a September high near $89. The decline follows a powerful August rally that lifted the token from roughly $52 to almost $90.
The short-term momentum has now cooled.
HYPE has slipped below $80 and is testing its rising short-term moving average. Its RSI has also fallen toward the low-50 range after previously reaching overbought levels.
The $76 - $78 region is therefore the key support zone.
If buyers defend this area, HYPE could consolidate before attempting to reclaim $82 - $84. A break above that resistance would bring $87 - $90 back into focus.
A clean move below $76 would change the short-term picture. The next important support would be around $73, followed by the $68 - $69 area.
Despite the correction, HYPE remains above its major medium and long-term moving averages. This suggests the current decline could still represent a correction of the August-September rally rather than a confirmed bearish reversal.

Shiba Inu remains caught between improving short-term support and a larger bearish structure.
SHIB is trading around $0.00000521 after several failed attempts to extend the September recovery above $0.0000055.
The $0.0000050 - $0.0000051 area remains the most important immediate support. Buyers have repeatedly defended this zone since late August, helping SHIB form higher lows from the July bottom near $0.0000041.
However, the long-term moving average remains a major obstacle around $0.0000056 - $0.0000057.
SHIB briefly surged toward $0.0000062 in August before reversing sharply. Since then, trading volume has declined and the RSI has returned toward 50.
That leaves the market without a strong directional signal.
A break below $0.0000050 could expose the $0.0000047 - $0.0000048 area. On the upside, bulls need to reclaim $0.0000055 - $0.0000057 to make the broader structure more convincingly bullish.
The setup also follows the cooling momentum seen across several major altcoins and memecoins in recent sessions.

Stellar has the most compressed setup among the four assets.
XLM is trading around $0.178 and sits inside a dense cluster of short- and medium-term moving averages.
The token's larger recovery has weakened considerably since its June rally toward $0.30. Subsequent rebounds have produced lower highs, with the latest September move reaching around $0.195 before sellers returned.
The most important resistance is now around $0.188 - $0.190.
This zone contains the declining long-term moving average and has repeatedly acted as resistance. A sustained break above $0.19 would therefore improve the technical outlook significantly.
On the downside, immediate support sits around $0.173 - $0.175. A break below that range could expose $0.165, followed by the August low around $0.155 - $0.160.
The RSI is close to 50, while volume has also declined after the initial September move.
XLM therefore remains range bound rather than clearly bullish or bearish. A move above $0.19 could reopen $0.20 - $0.22, while repeated rejection below the long-term moving average would keep sellers in control.
The four tokens are approaching important technical decision points.
ADA needs to hold $0.195 - $0.20 and reclaim $0.22 to revive its path toward $0.24 - $0.26. HYPE has stronger underlying momentum, but $76 - $78 must hold if bulls want another attempt at $87 - $90.
SHIB remains dependent on the $0.0000050 support zone and must overcome $0.0000055 - $0.0000057 to improve its broader structure. XLM, meanwhile, needs to break $0.19 before a move toward $0.20 - $0.22 becomes technically meaningful.
The broader crypto market could also influence these setups. Recent market weakness has been accompanied by heavy liquidations and macro pressure from higher oil prices and Treasury yields, making support levels increasingly important for altcoins.

For now, none of the four charts offers a confirmed breakout. The key question is whether buyers can defend current support zones before attempting another move higher.
