If the HYPE price sustains above $59.54, technical projections suggest a possible continuation toward the $170 region, aligning with the cup formation’s measured target.
While confirmation is still needed, sentiment has turned more watchful as traders monitor whether this breakout can hold and evolve into a broader upward trend with sustained buying pressure.

MACD’s Green Bars Point to a Strong Bullish Outlook
According to TradingView, the HYPE price is showing strong positive momentum, having risen from lows observed early in February up until its current level of $62.58.
This parabolic move is triggered by a breakout following a period of consolidation in April and started in mid-May. Candles are currently located above the upper Bollinger Band and far above its 20-day simple moving average of $47.97.

These technical indicators validate the aforementioned strength while pointing out the possibility of overextension. The Bollinger Bands have been expanding dramatically, implying high volatility within the market.
Meanwhile, the MACD lines have been moving dramatically upward within the positive region along with the increasing green-colored histogram bars, confirming that sellers still hold control.
Institutional Buying Pushes HYPE’s Rally Higher
The data from Alphractal further highlighted that at $63.84, HYPE continues to rise, driven by an apparent dichotomy in the market sentiments.
The Whale vs. Retail Delta suggests that large players have been aggressively buying, thus taking net-long positions to their maximum in eight months, whereas retail positions are at an all-time low of 12 months, indicating either aggressive bearishness or defensively holding their positions.

This gap has been growing ever since early May when whales stealthily loaded up on leveraged long positions during the rally phase while retail turned bearish and began short selling as the trend continued.
Based on past occurrences, this imbalance normally favors whale action, leading to a spate of short covering by retail participants. This current setup suggests that institutions are very confident and retailers are highly cautious.
