Big Bets and Big Ambitions
Hyperliquid has recently captured the attention of many market watchers, including BitMEX founder Arthur Hayes and high-risk trader James Wynn. The platform’s popularity is growing at a high pace, now handling trading volume around 14% of Binance’s.
Hayes celebrated HYPE token’s new peak on X, writing “All-time Hype.” The executive previously predicted that HYPE could see a 126x upside, driven by a massive expansion of stablecoins.

Notably, Hyperliquid has also announced the launch of its own regulated stablecoin USDH on its HyperEVM network.
Continued Momentum for HYPE Price?
On the daily HYPE price chart, the RSI is hovering near the overbought threshold. This signals strong bullish momentum but also warns of a possible short-term pullback. Traders should watch for the immediate resistance around the psychological barrier of $60.

Bollinger Bands are widening as HYPE rides the upper band near $59, often a sign of an ongoing uptrend. A decisive break above $60 could target new highs around $65 and beyond.
However, in case of short-term buyer exhaustion, support lies near $52 with a deeper base around the mid-$40 zone.
Crypto analyst Otsukimi shared HYPE’s clear rising channel, calling the current price setup the most promising in the market and well-positioned for a significant rally. He suggested that the structure could fuel a five- to ten-fold price increase from current levels.

If such a move materializes, HYPE could reach above the $250 mark.
