SHIB, SOL, HYPE, and BNB all bounced on August 10, but each one is still running into overhead resistance. Bulls have a case. The charts, though, are not handing out medals yet.
- SHIB is trying to hold a fragile rebound near $0.00000462, with $0.00000500 still acting like a brick wall.
- SOL has stabilized above its June lows, but $78-$79 remains the key test.
- HYPE has lost momentum and needs to reclaim the $56-$57 area to rebuild confidence.
- BNB looks the strongest of the group, though it is pressing into levels where sellers have already shown up.
These are daily-chart setups as of August 10, so the focus is on support, resistance, moving averages, and RSI rather than intraday noise. That matters, because a token can look lively on a 15-minute chart and still be staring at a larger trend problem like a polite idiot.
Shiba Inu: rebound attempt, but the ceiling is still ugly
SHIB is trading close to $0.00000462, and the first thing bulls need to protect is the $0.00000446-$0.00000464 support zone. If that area fails, the chart risks sliding back toward the $0.00000410-$0.00000420 consolidation range from July.
On the upside, $0.00000500 is still the level to beat. SHIB was rejected there before, and the late-July breakout high around $0.0000058 remains the more ambitious target if momentum keeps improving. The longer-term moving average near $0.00000497 sits right between support and resistance, which helps explain why the current setup feels so twitchy.
The daily RSI is close to 56. In plain English, that usually means momentum is leaning bullish without being overheated. Readings above 50 generally suggest buyers have the upper hand, while readings near or above 70 tend to point to exhaustion. SHIB is in the middle ground. Better than dead, but hardly a clean signal.
For now, SHIB still needs to prove it can turn $0.00000500 into support before anyone should get too excited. If it does, the next checkpoints are $0.0000055 and then the 200-day moving average near $0.00000588. Until then, this looks more like a recovery attempt than a structural reversal.
Solana: better footing, but the real test is still ahead
SOL is trading around $76.46, and the chart has recovered from the June low in the $62-$63 area. That is a real improvement, but the market still has to get through $78-$79 before the rebound can be treated as something sturdier.
The moving averages are clustered nearby: $74.83, $75.38, and the longer intermediate average at $78.54. That puts SOL in a tight decision zone. If bulls can clear $79, the next resistance band is $84-$86, followed by $90-$91, where the 200-day moving average sits close to $90.40.
Momentum is improving, at least for now. The RSI is about 55.6, while the RSI signal line sits near 45.9. That combination suggests buyers have regained some control, even if they have not won the argument yet. It is constructive, not conclusive.
Beyond the chart, Solana still carries a bigger narrative. How You Can Use Solana on Kraken notes that the network has a reputation for scalability while also dealing with recurring criticism over outages. Kraken also points to a possible spot Solana ETF approval as a bullish catalyst and says Firedancer upgrades expected in 2025 could improve speed and scalability. Those are real reasons market participants keep watching SOL, but they are still catalysts, not guarantees.
There is also a more awkward issue in the background: Solana’s token economics. Inflation Schedule discussion around revisiting token issuance and inflation to balance security funding and long-term supply. That is not just nerd trivia. Supply policy can shape how investors value the asset, especially when they are already weighing performance, network reliability, and competition from other Layer 1 chains.
If $78-$79 gives way cleanly, SOL starts to look much healthier. If not, a drop back toward $70 would remind everyone that a bounce is not the same thing as a breakout.
Hyperliquid: momentum has cooled, and the chart knows it
HYPE is trading around $54.54 after an early-August move that pushed it toward $52. The bigger issue is that the token lost its bullish sequence, meaning the pattern of higher highs and higher lows that traders watch as a basic sign of trend strength. Once that structure breaks, the burden shifts to buyers.
The repeated rejection zone between $72-$76 shows where earlier enthusiasm was sold into. Now the first recovery area sits around $56-$57, which is where prior support may have flipped into resistance. The first specific hurdles are $56.73 and $57.30, with a higher moving average near $61.58 above that.
HYPE’s RSI is about 42.5, which is weaker than the readings on SHIB and SOL. That does not scream collapse, but it does suggest buyers are still trying to regain footing rather than driving the tape. The 200-day moving average near $50.69 is the key downside marker. If that fails, the next risk zone is $46-$48.
If recovery does build, the upside targets are $65-$67. For that to happen, HYPE needs to reclaim the lower resistance layers first and then prove the move with follow-through. Otherwise, this just becomes another sharp crypto pullback with a fancy name and an expensive lesson attached.
BNB: the cleanest setup, but not immune to a sharp slap
BNB looks like the strongest chart in this group right now. Price is around $603.92, and the orange moving average near $602.20 is offering immediate support. The daily RSI is roughly 64.4, which is the healthiest momentum reading among the four. It is bullish, but not yet in the kind of overheated zone that usually makes traders nervous.
That said, BNB is not cruising. The next upside hurdles are around $620 and then $645-$650, with the 200-day moving average sitting near $646.66. If price can reclaim that long-term line, the setup improves meaningfully. If it cannot, BNB may remain trapped in a range where every rally gets treated like a temporary inconvenience by sellers.
On the downside, the first important support is around $584.41, followed by $575.11. Below $575, the tone changes fast. That is the kind of level where the market stops talking about “healthy consolidation” and starts asking whether the bounce had any real legs.
BNB also carries a very specific kind of baggage. Because it is closely tied to Binance, it often moves with exchange sentiment and faces a heavier regulatory shadow than many other large-cap coins. That does not make it weak by default, but it does mean the market can punish it quickly when risk appetite fades or when Binance-linked headlines turn sour.
In other words: the chart looks decent, but it is not cheap and it is not free of noise. Crypto never really is.
What actually matters across all four
The common thread is simple: all four assets are trying to turn rebounds into something more durable, and none has fully succeeded yet. That is not bearish by default. It is just the market doing what it does best, making people pay to find out whether momentum is real.
SHIB and HYPE still need the most proof. SOL has a stronger case, but the $78-$79 band is the level that decides whether this recovery gains credibility. BNB has the cleanest momentum profile, yet it is also closest to a major long-term test.
The big distinction here is between a bounce and a trend change. A bounce happens when buyers show up after a selloff. A trend change needs follow-through, reclaimed moving averages, and enough demand to absorb overhead supply. That is a much higher bar, and crypto loves pretending the bar does not exist until price smacks straight into it.
Key questions and takeaways
-
Is SHIB back in a real uptrend?
Not yet. SHIB needs to reclaim $0.00000500 and hold it before the chart starts looking like a durable reversal instead of a short-lived bounce. -
What level matters most for SOL?
$78-$79 is the key battleground. A clean breakout there would open the way toward $84-$86 and then the $90-$91 region. -
Has HYPE lost its bullish structure?
Yes, for now. The loss of higher highs and higher lows weakens the setup, and buyers need to reclaim the $56-$57 area to start repairing it. -
Which chart looks strongest right now?
BNB has the best momentum profile, with the strongest RSI reading and price holding near support. The catch is that it is also sitting close to major resistance. -
Are these confirmed reversals?
No. All four show signs of short-term improvement, but none has fully confirmed a durable trend change. -
Do these moves say anything about the wider market?
They suggest buyers are willing to defend key levels, but the market still needs a stronger breakout across multiple assets before this looks like a broad altcoin recovery.
