HYPE Holds $28 Support With Whale Buys and Revenue Jump Pointing to Rebound

Institutional accumulation alongside fee-funded buybacks is tightening liquid supply.

Overview

  • HYPE rebounded from the $28–$28.40 demand zone after a failed breakdown, with the token recently hovering around $30 in a tightening range.
  • Nasdaq-listed Hyperliquid Strategies disclosed a 5 million HYPE purchase for $129.5 million, and Arthur Hayes added 20,274 HYPE, signaling steady accumulation near support.
  • Spot turnover reached $323 million in 24 hours as derivatives volume hit $1.63 billion and open interest rose to $1.39 billion, indicating active positioning per CoinGlass.
  • Network revenue has climbed nearly 200% since late December per DeFiLlama, while on-chain transaction fees reportedly fell to about $2 million, a setup that supports fee-driven buybacks and increased trading activity.
  • Technicians highlight a falling-wedge breakout with targets near $36–$40 if $32–$35 resistance is cleared, though a daily close below $27 could reopen tests of the $24–$26 zone.
