Midnight, Hyperliquid and Monero flagged as possible Feb 2026 ATH contenders

BeInCrypto analysed three altcoins — Midnight (NIGHT), Hyperliquid (HYPE) and Monero (XMR) — that show early signs of trend shifts and could form new all-time highs in February 2026, after weeks of market volatility and selective investor sentiment. Midnight (NIGHT) launched strongly in December 2025 but lost momentum as early investors took profits, weighing on the price through January.

BeInCrypto noted Q1 2026 roadmap progress in the Kūkolu phase (stable mainnet, trusted validators, privacy-first applications) and a rising Chaikin Money Flow, suggesting outflows are shrinking. If inflows strengthen, NIGHT could rebound from $0.053 toward its $0.120 all-time high (a 126% upside); failure to sustain momentum could push it toward $0.039.

Charles Hoskinson’s involvement was also cited as adding credibility. Hyperliquid (HYPE) trades near $29 and would need about a 98% rally to revisit its $59 all-time high. BeInCrypto highlighted a Chaikin Money Flow move above zero, a -0.22 correlation with Bitcoin (indicating independent behavior), and a sharp rise in HIP-3 open interest to $793 million on January 26–27 from $260 million a month earlier.

If momentum holds, HYPE could break above $38 and advance to $47 and $59; renewed selling could instead drive it toward $23 or $20. Monero (XMR) was trading near $437 after breaking below $450 and dropping about 30% over the prior 11 days. The Money Flow Index signals selling pressure is approaching exhaustion, though not yet oversold.
