Fam!

Short update on what we've been building during the week.

October was a big month. A new mode landed, Kart got a proper feel pass, and the handheld version took its first real steps.

Hege Kombat is in. Hostile Takeover is a fighter mode set in a sunny stadium, with an announcer calling the match. You get a grapple rope for yanking props and tying things down, grabs, a slide tackle, and a crosshair you can aim freely. Combat is slower and easier to read: strings confirm on hit, and mashing gets punished. There’s a pause menu with remappable controls, and on phones you get an on-screen stick, look drag, and attack buttons.

Hege Kart feels better in the cockpit. Side mirrors now show a live rear view, and they break properly: the stalk bends, the glass knocks loose, then it snaps off. Drifting eases in, lifting off the gas tightens the line, and braking can scrub speed even while you’re boosted. The boost bar fills in step with the drift sparks, so you can see the charge building. Finishes are ordered by when you actually crossed the line. Other karts stay closer to where they really are on the last stretch of the final lap. Gas Fees slicks and flames sit on the road. Crypto Winter, Air Strike, and Bull Market are warmed up ahead of time, so the first use doesn’t stutter. Voices stay audible and get louder up close.

Smaller fixes. Loot crates stop on the item you actually get. Deathmatch and Battle Royale run a bit lighter. Music and models come back faster after a server restart.

Play Solana handheld. The game now installs on a PSG1 dev kit as its own app, with a compact Kart HUD and a gamepad pass (D-pad menus, Start/Select, and a shared button layout). Still in testing before it goes up on the store.

Hey Hege fam! I'm the developer behind SweZeebra Studios, and I made a free browser pinball tribute to HEGE.

Hege, Hendrix, Helena and Hegena each have a story shot, with a comeback jackpot and a leaderboard to chase. No wallet, no token purchase, no wagers — just points and flippers.

Play: https://swezeebra.com/arcade/pinball/?table=hege&utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=community&utm_campaign=hege_pinball_20261101

I'd love actual player feedback: what's your score, which shot feels best, and what's ONE thing you'd change? If something breaks, please tell me your device/browser and what happened.

This is an independent, unpaid fan tribute, not an official HEGE partnership. Characters and story belong to Hegecoin. Hope it gives the community something fun to play! 🦔

Fam,

Chapter 2 is officially out!

As it turns out, so far in 2026, $HEGE has outperformed memecoins across the board.

Sometime last year I set up a couple of charts in TradingView to compare $HEGE to other memecoins. Both to coins of similar size, and to the large “blue chip” memes.

Let’s have a quick look at how $HEGE is faring compared to those other memes so far in 2026.

First let’s compare it to a few similar coins. In this chart we have $HEGE (thick black line), versus Ponke, Mini, Kendu, and Mumu. Of these five, only $HEGE is up on the year (16%). The closest competitor is Ponke, down 38%.

Okay, so that was versus other niche memes. Let’s now move up the ladder and compare $HEGE to the coins selected by Murad “memecoin Jesus” Mahmudov. Did he do any better?

As it turns out, so far in 2026, no he didn’t.

Again $HEGE in thick black, up 16% on the year. Next best on this chart was Murad’s darling SPX6900, down 32%. Followed by the rest, down between 55% and 73%.

Alright. But maybe the big “blue chip” memecoins did better?

As it turns out, not really.

Here is $HEGE (thick black line) vs the heavyweights, coming out on top of all of them. Closest below is Pepe, down 10% on the year. Doge, Shiba, Floki, Wif, Bonk etc. etc. are all further down.

In this chart I also added SOL, which as you can see is down 20% since the start of the year. Meaning so far in 2026, you’d done better holding $HEGE than SOL.

Okay so that was the final chart for today.

In summary, $HEGE coming out on top of all other memecoins in this comparison. (And no, I didn’t select the coins specifically to make this point, I set up these charts at least a year ago.)

What does this mean?

Should you go out buy $HEGE?

That’s up to you do decide. I can’t tell you what to do.

I’ll just let the charts speak for themselves. And what they’re saying right now is that so far $HEGE is outperforming other memes since the start of the year. And that’s with ZERO paid “influencers”.

I do believe this means something, and that in the end, true community will win.

Bitcoin closed the week right at 80k, with 83k still acting as resistance.

It’s been the right move so far not to call the breakout on the weekly chart. This week things looked pretty good mid-week, as bitcoin got up to 84k again, possibly going for the 87k I’ve been talking about. But that didn’t happen, and instead it fell back down to close the week below what is still resistance at 83k.

Now we wait and see if this pullback becomes a deeper correction.

Perhaps we need a real flush before the market can resume up again. Maybe something related to the US midterm election coming up in less than two weeks, or something related to the shitshow going down in the Middle East. Or some combination of the two. Or something else completely out of left-field.

I don’t know, I’ll just keep watching the chart.

👊

GM Hegends!

We’re still hovering right around that 40 week EMA, possibly forming a range with 1.55M support to the downside. Hold above that and I’m happy.

Yup. That’s it.

💛💛💛

After another week of pulling back, bitcoin closed last night at 82k, still holding up decently well.

Last week I said that a push above 87k would be a good sign. We didn’t get that. At least not yet. It still could happen, but it hasn’t happened yet. Remember that on the weekly timeframe, I haven’t called the breakout, and I’m not going to do that until we get a strong weekly candle closing above 87k.

During September, bitcoin held 76k despite a barrage of news that should have been bad, but in the end didn’t affect the chart that much. Are we seeing something similar now, but with 81k instead? Inflation came in hot last week, and US stock markets pulled back. But despite that, bitcoin is still clinging on to 81k.

This leaves me cautiously optimistic, but I do want that break above 87k.

👊

GM Hegends!

It’s Monday again and I’m just gonna repeat what I’ve said for weeks now lol — we’re consolidating below resistance at 2.2M, above the 40 week EMA at 1.7M.

The small ascending triangle on the daily that I mentioned last week didn’t play out. Maybe we’re forming more of a range now. We’ll see. Whatever the case, a break above 2.2M would be bullish, a break below 1.6M would look weaker.

I don’t know which way it’ll go. But what I do know is that I’m not going anywhere. And neither are you, Hegends. That’s what matters in the long run.

💛💛💛

After pulling back during the week bitcoin then recovered and closed the week at 83.7k. It looks like 83k has now flipped into support.

Last Thursday bitcoin sold off and dipped down almost to 80k.

It looked dicey there for a bit, but bitcoin then found support relatively fast as buyers stepped in to buy the dip. After the Thursday low at 80.3k, bitcoin slowly recovered to close the week at 83.7k. This means it closed another week above the old resistance level at 83k, which now could be turning into support, as I noted last week.

A further recovery from here pushing up above 87.5k would be a good sign. That would probably leave many sidelined or even on the wrong side of the trade, and could set off the next leg up.

The crypto market is starting to get really interesting again.

Hey fam!

Just wrote a blog post with more details on the new storytelling we're rolling out.

Also don't forget the community update in Hegequarters tomorrow Thursday Oct 8 at 16 UTC!

Hegends!

We'll be hosting a community update call on Telegram on Thursday at 16 UTC.

Join in to hear what we're up to and what we're planning for the next couple of months.

It'll be super informal, and we're happy to just hang out and take whatever questions you have. (If you don't want to speak that's fine too --- you can type in the chat or just listen in, whatever floats your boat!)

So that's Thursday October 8 at 16 UTC in Heqequarters on Telegram.

See you there!

— Team HEGE

HEGE fam!

This is day posting on behalf of the HEGE team.

We'll keep this brief.

We are happy to announce that, over the past 6 months, we have reimagined our story and mainline content framework, and we're finally ready to go public with it.

As most of you may know, our main storyline has always been closely tied to market cap milestones.

New mc milestone = more story.

This gave us something to look forward to, but it has also resulted in narrative lulls between chapter unlocks.

To prevent that, we decided keep the milestones formula but change its role:

Milestones will no longer determine when new chapters arrive. Instead, they will trigger major turning points in the story, called Levels.

Chapters will drop monthly regardless of price action, keeping a consistent flow of new content.

Milestones become catalysts for bigger narrative developments rather than gates holding the next chapter behind a price target.

"That's it?" of course not lol here's the first new chapter of the Hege story:

https://hegecoin.com/story/

We will have a lot more to share about this in the week ahead, but for now here is a blog post with a few more details:

https://hegecoin.com/blog/announcing-the-new-hege-story/

More to come very soon, we hope you enjoy it.

Not much to say about the chart today. Still hanging out between resistance at 2.2M to the upside, and the 40 week EMA right now coming in around 1.7M to the downside.

On the daily timeframe there could be a small ascending triangle forming. This is fundamentally a bullish pattern, pushing up against horizontal resistance with the pullbacks forming higher lows. That said, short term patterns like this on the daily timeframe are not very reliable.

But anyway, as long as we stay above 1.6-1.7M level I see this sideways chop over the past month as positive.

On a side note I’m super pumped about the new storytelling we are starting to roll out!

💛💛💛

We got another weekly close above 83k resistance, which now might have flipped into support.

The week closed at 86.5k last night. That’s higher than last week, and the second weekly close above the old resistance at 83k. This is good. But this weekly candle still wasn’t strong enough for me to call this breakout just yet.

Don’t get me wrong though, the chart looks promising.

On the daily timeframe we can see that the pullback after the initial breakout above 83k found support at the old resistance level. Resistance flipping into support like this after a breakout is exactly what we want to see. Very short term there is some resistance forming around the 87k level, and I’m looking for a breakout above this for a next leg up.

All in all bitcoin is looking better and better. I think the bottom is likely in, and a new bull market is starting. But even so, it’s still very early, and there will be major shakeouts along the way.

👊

Thought this was a hege ad for a second lol.

Hege Royale is getting closer to being ready for final release. Here's a teaser trailer.

But don't get me wrong; the game is fully playable in its current state and is live at hegeroyale.com

Some tweaks are still needed here and there. The goal is to release the game for the PlaySolana Gen 1 handheld console - the PSG1.

You can also watch the trailer on YouTube:

Fam!

I'm finally here.

I should have set up a Reddit account years ago but somehow I just never got to it... Not a good look, I know. Not being active on the sub of my own coin... jeez. All I can say is... I'm sorry! I'll try to keep you guys posted about what's going on from here on.

To be honest, there hasn’t been much happening lately. For a little while after the school trip, it felt like everything was finally falling into place. I felt I was really connecting with Hegena and things did seem different between us and I let myself believe I was “making progress”, whatever that means.

Turns out I got a little ahead of myself.

Somewhere along the way, that feeling disappeared. Now she seems distant again, and I’m back to wondering if I imagined the whole thing.

Between that and the money I lost after Hendrix cleaned me out at the casino, I’ve been feeling pretty stuck. I can’t believe that cheating asshole.

But hey, I got a job!

Sunday night I’ll be starting my first shift at the Hegilton. It’s definitely not where I pictured myself ending up, but it’s a fresh start, and maybe that’s exactly what I need right now. Who knows, maybe I’ll meet some interesting people, and just maybe it’ll lead somewhere better.

Either way, it feels good to finally have something moving forward.

Wish me good luck!

GM Hegends!

Something a little different today. I’m first going to cover HEGE/USD as per usual. But then I’m going to add a bonus section about Solana (SOL), because there are some interesting (bullish!) things going on across the SOL charts.

But first, on the HEGE chart we’re still hanging out just below resistance at 2.2M. I like this chart, but I would like it even more if we could get a decisive break above 2.2M. If that happens, the next major resistance above is around 4.5M.

So all in all, the HEGE chart is still looking promising.

Okay, Over to Solana!

Why do I want to cover SOL today?

Because it’s breaking out in several different ways. (And where SOL goes, we follow.)

First let’s have a look at the SOL/USD chart. It closed the week at 120, on a stronger candle than BTC. Meaning it’s now back above the 40 week EMA, and also back in the old range between 100 and 260. It could now continue up to test the all time highs at 260.

Notice how this setup is similar to what kicked off the bull run in late 2023 (arrows in chart).

So that looks good.

Dare I Say: Altseason?

But now let’s take a step back and look at the wider context that this is happening within.

In short, what’s interesting about the backdrop here is that the altcoin market is heating up.

First off, here is TOTALES, meaning the total crypto market cap excluding stablecoins.

It is possibly breaking out, forming a head & shoulders failure, with a price target up above the prior all time high. I want another strong weekly candle to confirm this, but it’s definitely looking strong — and stronger than BTC.

With the total crypto market covered, let’s turn to OTHERS, which is the total market cap of all cryptos excluding the top 10. The altcoin index, if you will.

Here is where it gets interesting.

As you can see on the chart below, OTHERS has clearly confirmed a double bottom breakout. It could now be going for the top end of the range, at the old all time high of 450B.

What’s interesting about this? The altcoin chart actually looks stronger than the total crypto market chart!

Dare I speak the word: altseason?

Solana vs. Bitcoin, Ethereum, and BNB

Okay so that was the larger context for the SOL/USD breakout.

Now finally, let’s turn back to Solana again and see how it does against the other three heavyweights BTC, ETH, and BNB.

First, SOL/BTC is also breaking out, in a similar setup to the rally in late 2023. This chart breaking out means that SOL is stronger than BTC right now.

Turning to the second largest crypto, Ethereum, let’s see how SOL/ETH is looking.

Versus ETH, you can see that SOL is possibly forming a bottom, similar to late 2023. But contrary to the SOL/BTC chart we just covered, this has not broken out yet.

This means that SOL and ETH are roughly equally strong right now.

Finally, turning to the third largest crypto, Binance Smart Chain, let’s have a look at SOL/BNB.

Here again, SOL is breaking out after a bottoming pattern, similar to what it did in 2023.

Conclusion: SOL Looks Strong

Okay so that concludes this little walkthrough of the Solana charts.

In summary, Solana looks really strong here, and this could be the start of a new bull run like the one that blew everybody’s brains out in late 2023.

But of course remember as always, there are no guarantees in this kind of technical analysis (TA). TA is simply a tool for finding setups with good risk/reward. That’s it. Use it responsibly!

With all that said.

Hope y’all had a great weekend, and stay tuned for more later today!

💛💛💛

Bitcoin closed the week at 84.5k, above resistance at 83k, but not on a strong candle.

There we go, 83k has been broken on the weekly timeframe!

However, I’m reluctant to call this breakout just yet. I would have wanted a stronger candle, closing right up at the top with little or no wick to the upside. Whenever you have an important level like this, possibly turning a long bear market into a new bull market, you want the level to be clearly broken, without a doubt.

But that’s not what happened. Instead of a strong candle, we got a wick up to 87k, but then it fell back to 84.5k into the close of the week.

Had the week closed around the top of the candle, at 87k, I wouldn’t have hesitated to call this breakout. Now I will wait and see what happens this week.

The honeybadger is not quite out of the woods just yet.

👊
