The price is testing the upper Bollinger Band near $49.50, indicating strong buying pressure. However, it also hints at potential short-term resistance, with the middle band (20-day SMA) around $42 serving as immediate support.

Hyperliquid has also seen a rise in institutional adoption due to its high-speed Layer-1 infrastructure for large-scale derivatives trading.
Last month, Nasdaq-listed Sonnet BioTherapeutics, Inc. announced an $888 million merger with Rorschach I LLC to launch a HYPE treasury.
Analysts are predicting that HYPE could surge to a new peak soon and become the best crypto to buy this month.
