The token is up more than 25% over the past 7 days and over 70% in the past month as traders rotated into one of the few large-cap crypto assets still printing new highs while Bitcoin and Ether ETFs suffered multi-billion-dollar outflows.<\/p>\n<p>Hyperliquid\u2019s latest leg higher arrived days after Hyperliquid activated validator-settled outcome markets tied to off-chain events through its HIP-4 upgrade. The new system allows validators to publish and settle prediction markets directly through chain operations without relying on external oracle providers.<\/p>\n<p>Hyperliquid said the contracts are fully collateralized, settle within a fixed range, and avoid leverage and liquidation mechanics used in perpetual futures.<\/p>\n<p>At the same time, spot Hyperliquid ETFs continued drawing fresh demand despite weakness across the wider ETF market. So far, HYPE ETFs absorbed 1.04% of the token\u2019s market capitalization during their first 10 trading days, surpassing the launch pace recorded by spot Bitcoin, Ether, and Solana ETFs on the same market-cap-adjusted basis.<\/p>\n<p>SoSoValue <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/sosovalue.com\/assets\/etf\/us-hype-spot\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">data<\/a> showed HYPE-linked ETFs recorded $68.02 million in net inflows during the week ending May 22 after posting $6.89 million during their partial launch week. Spot Bitcoin ETFs, meanwhile, lost $2.26 billion over the same two-week stretch, while spot Ether ETFs saw more than $470 million in combined outflows.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- .cn-block-related-link --><\/p>\n<p>In a May 26 X <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/EricBalchunas\/status\/2059333607752179964\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">post<\/a>, Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas said the 21Shares Hyperliquid ETF, THYP, had already risen 50% within two weeks of launch.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, trader McKenna wrote on X that HYPE was \u201csuccessfully holding above its previous all-time high,\u201d adding:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy first targets for HYPE is at $84 and above but I am in the view given recent developments that HYPE should trade above 3 digits in less than 12 months.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\"><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/search?q=%24HYPE&amp;src=ctag&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">$HYPE<\/a> is successfully holding above it&#8217;s previous all time high.<\/p>\n<p>My first targets for HYPE is at $84 and above but I am in the view given recent developments that HYPE should trade above 3 digits in less than 12 months.<\/p>\n<p>ETFs began trading in the 50s and TradFi are certainly\u2026 <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/UsmRFT35Ym\">pic.twitter.com\/UsmRFT35Ym<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 McKenna (@Crypto_McKenna) <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Crypto_McKenna\/status\/2059537921200574727?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">May 27, 2026<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p>Hyperliquid\u2019s internal buyback structure has added another layer of demand beneath the rally. The protocol routes roughly 99% of exchange trading fees into its Assistance Fund, which continuously purchases HYPE on the open market.<\/p>\n<p>DefiLlama <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/defillama.com\/protocol\/hyperliquid?fees=false&amp;revenue=true\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">data<\/a> shows Hyperliquid has generated more than $1.16 billion in cumulative revenue since launch, with almost all of it redirected into token acquisition.<\/p>\n<p>The exchange bought back approximately $316.76 million worth of HYPE during the third quarter of 2025 alone.<\/p>\n<p>Unlike public-company buyback programs that require periodic authorization, Hyperliquid\u2019s system executes automatically in every market condition. The mechanism has increasingly drawn comparisons to a perpetual treasury bid sitting underneath the token.<\/p>\n<p>A second source of accumulation has emerged through Hyperliquid Strategies, the Nasdaq-listed treasury company trading under the PURR ticker. The firm currently holds roughly 17.6 million HYPE tokens and recently reported $152.5 million in quarterly net profit, almost entirely tied to unrealized appreciation on its HYPE reserves.<\/p>\n<p>USDC reserve yields have also begun feeding into the same cycle. Hyperliquid\u2019s aligned quote-asset arrangement directs up to 90% of reserve yield earned on USDC balances across the platform back toward buybacks and ecosystem incentives.<\/p>\n<p>With billions of dollars parked on the exchange, stablecoin reserve income alone now contributes another sizable flow into HYPE demand.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">HYPE breakout keeps momentum traders focused on $65 resistance<\/h2>\n<p>On the technical side, HYPE has now broken above the upper boundary of a multi-month ascending structure that began forming during the first quarter of 2026.<\/p>\n<p>The daily chart shows the token reclaiming both the 50-day simple moving average near $44.9 and the 200-day moving average near $34.7 before accelerating vertically into price discovery.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Hyperliquid price has broken out of a bullish channel on the daily chart \u2014 May 27 | Source: crypto.news<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The rally also pushed decisively above the 0.786 Fibonacci retracement level near $55.4. Buyers have since defended that region on multiple retests, while the next major resistance sits near the recent high around $64.9. A confirmed breakout above that ceiling could expose the psychologically important $80 region over the coming weeks.<\/p>\n<p>The daily chart also shows the move unfolded after HYPE cleared a descending trendline that had capped rallies since late 2025. Momentum accelerated sharply once price reclaimed the midpoint Fibonacci level near $42.7 earlier this month, triggering a sequence of higher highs and higher lows into May.<\/p>\n<p>Derivatives positioning remains heavily skewed toward bullish continuation. CoinGlass liquidation heatmaps show a dense concentration of short liquidation clusters sitting between $65 and $67, with leveraged positions stacked above current price action.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"4080\" height=\"2409\" src=\"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/1779888775_488_Can-Hyperliquid-price-surge-past-80-amid-new-prediction-markets.webp.webp\" alt=\"Hyperliquid liquidation heatmap.\" class=\"wp-image-14463227\"  ><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Hyperliquid liquidation heatmap \u2014 May 27 | Source: crypto.news<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>If HYPE pushes into that region, forced liquidations could amplify volatility and extend upside momentum through a short squeeze.<\/p>\n<p>At the same time, liquidation liquidity remains relatively thin below spot levels until the $57 to $54 range. The imbalance leaves bulls with room to push higher so long as price remains above near-term support clusters.<\/p>\n<p>Open interest across Hyperliquid perpetual markets has also climbed alongside price rather than diverging lower, suggesting fresh positioning instead of late-stage exhaustion. Funding rates have remained positive but have not yet reached the extreme levels typically associated with overheated blow-off rallies.<\/p>\n<p>Hyperliquid\u2019s positioning as both a derivatives venue and an emerging prediction-market platform has also widened its narrative appeal at a time when decentralized exchange volumes continue climbing. Outcome markets tied to real-world events place Hyperliquid in more direct competition with platforms like Polymarket while keeping users inside the same trading ecosystem.<\/p>\n<p>According to analysts at Clinix Crypto, Hyperliquid could climb past the $70 psychological resistance level and extend toward $75 if bullish momentum persists. They added that a bearish scenario could send HYPE back toward $50 during a broader sell-off, similar to the sharp pullbacks often seen after newly launched crypto assets rally to fresh all-time highs before rebounding higher.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"rll-youtube-player\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/pY2YxgWwtnk\" data-id=\"pY2YxgWwtnk\" data-query=\"feature=oembed\" data-alt=\"HOW HIGH WILL HYPE RALLY?\ud83d\udd25 (Hyperliquid Price Prediction 2026)\"><\/div>\n<p><noscript><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"HOW HIGH WILL HYPE RALLY?\ud83d\udd25 (Hyperliquid Price Prediction 2026)\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/pY2YxgWwtnk?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/noscript>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Failure to hold above previous highs could trigger sharp HYPE correction<\/h2>\n<p>Despite the bullish structure, several downside risks remain if momentum stalls near current levels. The most immediate invalidation trigger sits near the former breakout zone between $55 and $57, which now acts as the first major support region beneath the spot price.<\/p>\n<p>A breakdown below that area would expose the 0.618 Fibonacci retracement near $47.9 and potentially reopen the path toward the 50-day moving average around $44.9. Losses below those levels could weaken the current higher-high structure that has driven the rally since March.<\/p>\n<p>The liquidation map also shows increasingly crowded long positioning building between $58 and $60. If HYPE loses support there, cascading long liquidations could accelerate downside volatility in the same way short squeezes have amplified recent upside moves.<\/p>\n<p>ETF demand could become another variable if flows slow after the initial launch period. Although HYPE funds currently lead altcoin ETF inflows on a relative basis, the market remains substantially smaller and less liquid than Bitcoin or Ether. A reversal in crypto-wide risk appetite could still pressure newer ETF products disproportionately.<\/p>\n<p>For now, however, HYPE continues trading above former resistance while ETF inflows, protocol buybacks, and prediction-market expansion keep fresh demand flowing into the token.<\/p>\n<p>As long as bulls maintain control above the mid-$50 range, traders appear increasingly willing to test whether Hyperliquid can extend its breakout toward the $80 level.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- .cn-block-related-link --><\/p>\n<div class=\"cn-block-disclaimer\">\n<div class=\"cn-block-disclaimer__icon\">\n            <svg class=\"icon icon-info\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><use xlink:href=\"#icon-info\"><\/use> <\/svg>        <\/div>\n<p class=\"cn-block-disclaimer__content\">\n            Disclosure: This article does not represent investment advice.
