Institutional inflows rise amid deflationary supply and record usage

Hyperliquid continues to attract significant institutional demand, led by robust net inflows of approximately $153–161 million into newly listed US HYPE ETFs and nearly $900 million in trading volume during the first month. The protocol records high perpetual futures activity with $240.5 billion in processed volume over 30 days, and its daily token buybacks funded by trading fees reinforce a deflationary supply structure. Monthly protocol revenues regularly exceed $50 million, supported by yield from a $5 billion USDC reserve via the Assistance Fund, while user participation and open interest have reached record levels.

Anton Kharitonov, expert at Traders Union, remains cautious despite the ongoing rally in HYPE. He notes that the price is extended far above key moving averages, suggesting froth and potential overextension. Strong institutional inflows may offer short-term support, but he highlights that much of the upward move is already priced in given the outsized trading volumes and buybacks. Kharitonov warns about excessive optimism, especially as intraday volatility approaches 10% and BBP signals overbought conditions. "I advise traders to be defensive here — the risk of a sharp pullback rises when positioning and sentiment become this one-sided."

Viktoras Karapetjanc, expert at Traders Union, views HYPE’s outlook as strongly positive. He sees institutional demand, robust inflows, and record participation as confirmation of healthy market confidence. Karapetjanc believes that sustainable revenues and a large USDC reserve support a constructive structure. He expects continued token buybacks and active ETF flows to underpin further growth in the short term. "The bullish structure remains intact — with these fundamentals, I anticipate HYPE will test and potentially surpass recent highs very soon."

Jainam Mehta, market strategist, observes that HYPE remains firmly in an uptrend but notes that technical oscillators now approach overbought territory. He acknowledges that momentum is strong, with support at $66.44 and resistance just above current levels. Mehta sees potential for a short-term breakout, but warns of elevated volatility that could create tactical swing trade opportunities. "If sentiment flips or key support fails, tactical traders could look for quick contrarian entries below $66.44."

Bullish structure confirmed as momentum signals align at resistance

HYPE/USD trades well above its key moving averages with the price at $72.85, far above the MA-20 ($63.35), MA-50 ($53.12), and MA-200 ($37.22), which confirms a robust bullish structure across all timeframes. Nearest dynamic support is visible at the Ichimoku Kijun level of $64.22, while resistance is likely to emerge around the recent highs near $73 and the next round number.

Momentum signals remain supportive: the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) gives a strong buy, and the Average Directional Index (ADX) indicates a healthy uptrend. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is positive but not yet overbought at 57.82, and the Stochastic RSI is neutral, with the Commodity Channel Index (CCI) also neutral at 39.16. Bull/Bear Power (BBP) shows buyers clearly dominating intraday momentum and indicates an overbought condition. The Awesome Oscillator (AO) aligns with upward momentum. After an upside gap of $1.77 at the open, HYPE/USD surged 11.82% to $72.85, with the price holding near the upper end of its daily range and intraday volatility at 9.66%. The session tone is strong toward the highs, with continued follow-through after the bullish open. Multiple oscillators and momentum signals are consistent, signaling sustained momentum in the current trend.

Earlier, analysts noted that Hyperliquid's strong institutional demand and record platform activity were fueling a decisive bullish trend. The current market environment not only confirms this momentum but also introduces a higher-volatility phase, making the $73 resistance and $66.44 support levels crucial markers for traders assessing breakout or correction risks in the coming week.
