Large inflows boost HYPE ranking amid ETF launches and buybacks
Hyperliquid's native token HYPE has moved into the top 10 cryptocurrencies by market capitalization, driven by robust institutional inflows and the launch of new U.S.-listed ETFs including Bitwise, 21Shares, and Grayscale. The Grayscale Hyperliquid Staking ETF (HYPG) joined Bitwise's BHYP and 21Shares' THYP on Nasdaq, with combined ETF net inflows surpassing $136 million in May. Additional uplifts stem from continuous on-chain buybacks funded by up to 99% of exchange trading fees, increased whale accumulation, and higher trading activity on Hyperliquid’s perpetual products.
Overbought conditions persist as upward trend diverges from stretched oscillators
Momentum remains firmly positive, as the MACD and Average Directional Index (ADX) both signal sustained buying strength. Overbought conditions are present on several indicators: the Relative Strength Index (RSI) is at 67.60 with a Buy signal, the Stochastic RSI points to a Strong Sell as it emerges from overbought, and the Commodity Channel Index (CCI) also flags overbought territory. Bull/Bear Power (BBP) indicates buyers are dominating intraday action, with a strong overbought signal. The Awesome Oscillator is supportive of the prevailing upside momentum. Dynamic support is indicated by the Ichimoku Kijun at $56.99, with the MA-50 near $48.10 serving as the closest support below. The intraday tone shows sustained strength as the price presses toward session highs, though the mix of overbought readings and strong momentum highlights a divergence between stretched oscillators and the underlying trend.
Previously it was reported that Grayscale’s launch of the Hyperliquid ETF and rising institutional inflows had positioned HYPE as a standout among top cryptocurrencies. With momentum now supported by a broader ETF presence and considerable on-chain buyback activity, traders should monitor for a confirmed breakout above $85.76 as the next potential catalyst for further upside.
