Reading time: 2 min

The Hyperliquid (HYPE) price has held above the $22 support since December 22.

Hyperliquid price long-term analysis: bearish 


The upward reversal was halted at the $26 high, which coincides with the 21-day SMA barrier. The cryptocurrency may either decline or be forced to trade within a range after being rejected at this recent high. The altcoin is currently trading below the 21-day SMA but above the $22 support.


On the upside, a bullish trend will begin if buyers sustain the price above the 21-day SMA. HYPE could then reach the $31 high or the 50-day SMA barrier. If HYPE falls below its recent high, it will return to the established support at $22. In the meantime, the price is likely to trade within a narrow range for several days. The altcoin is priced at $25.79.
