TL;DR<\/span><\/p>\n
\n
Hyperliquid (HYPE) holds near $42 with a bullish structure above $40.<\/span><\/li>\n
The bullish structure is supported by rising futures Open Interest and positive funding rates.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Hyperliquid (HYPE) trades above $42 on Monday, sustaining its upward trajectory from an ascending trendline.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
While the broader trend remains constructive, signs of cooling retail interest contrast with a steady buildup in leveraged positions, creating a mixed near-term outlook for the decentralized exchange token.<\/span><\/p>\n
Retail momentum fades as social dominance drops<\/h2>\n
Retail-driven momentum appears to be weakening. Data from Santiment shows Hyperliquid\u2019s social dominance has declined sharply to 0.137%, down from 0.688% at the height of the US-Iran conflict in late March.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
The drop suggests reduced retail attention as geopolitical tensions ease, removing a key narrative driver that previously fueled speculative interest in the DEX.<\/span><\/p>\n
In contrast, derivatives activity is heating up. According to CoinGlass, <\/span>HYPE futures Open Interest (OI)<\/span> has climbed roughly 3% over the past 24 hours to $1.65 billion, signaling an increase in outstanding leveraged positions.<\/span><\/p>\n
Funding rates remain positive at 0.0077%, indicating that long positions continue to dominate. This persistent positive funding over the past month reflects growing bullish conviction among leveraged traders, even as spot-driven retail enthusiasm cools.<\/span><\/p>\n
HYPE price outlook: Rising wedge puts $40 support in focus<\/h2>\n
The HYPE\/USD 4-hour chart is bullish and efficient as HYPE is consolidating within a rising wedge.<\/span><\/p>\n
The token remains supported above both its 50-day EMA at $38.98 and 200-day EMA at $34.90, reinforcing the underlying bullish structure.<\/span><\/p>\n
Momentum indicators suggest steady but controlled upside. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) sits at 56, pointing to positive but not overbought conditions, while the MACD is trending higher toward a bullish crossover, hinting at fading downside pressure.<\/span><\/p>\n
If the bulls push higher, they would encounter immediate resistance at the $43.71 level, which caps the current recovery and aligns with the upper wedge boundary near $46.80. A decisive break above this zone could trigger a stronger bullish continuation.<\/span><\/p>\n
However, if the market undergoes a correction, the ascending trendline support near $41.21 remains critical.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
A breakdown below this level would likely expose the 50-day EMA at $38.98, with the 200-day EMA at $34.90 acting as a deeper demand zone if selling pressure intensifies.<\/span><\/p>\n
While Hyperliquid\u2019s structure remains bullish above $40, the divergence between fading retail interest and rising leverage suggests the next move could be determined by whether momentum expands or reduces. <\/span><\/p>\n
