HYPE Token Surges After Robinhood Listing & S-1 Filing

The recent price action for HYPE marks a decisive break above a downward trendline that had consistently acted as resistance for several weeks. According to the analysis, multiple failed attempts to surpass this level added significant weight to the eventual breakout, which was confirmed by a large green candlestick. Crypto analyst Batman noted, ‘$HYPE has finally broken out of its short-term bearish trend after months of staying under,’ adding a crucial technical observation: ‘Once something strong gets broken, it often flips and acts as support.’ This has established the $39 to $40 zone as a critical area to monitor for potential support during any price retests.

Supporting this optimistic technical picture are key momentum indicators. The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) has printed a bullish crossover, with the MACD line crossing above its signal line. Furthermore, the MACD histogram has turned green, suggesting building upward momentum. The price is also holding firmly above the 9-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) at $38, a level that now serves as a short-term bullish demarcation line, indicating that buyers currently maintain control.

Despite the clear breakout, market analysts offer contrasting views on HYPE’s immediate future. The bullish perspective, exemplified by Batman’s analysis, sees the successful breach of resistance as a foundational step for further gains. However, a more cautious outlook comes from analyst Crypto Patel, who suggests a potential retracement. ‘We just broke down from the channel support and honestly? It’s looking bearish,’ Patel wrote, forecasting a retest followed by a move down toward the $32 support zone.

Patel’s analysis presents a layered risk scenario, noting that a failure of the $32 support could see the price target the $22 to $20 zone. Importantly, even this bearish short-term forecast is couched in long-term optimism. Patel described the lower price range as a long-term buying opportunity, maintaining a decidedly bullish outlook with future price targets of $50, $100, $200, and even $500 over time. This dichotomy highlights the market’s uncertainty regarding near-term price action amidst strong foundational developments.

The technical breakout coincides with two major fundamental catalysts that have captured investor attention. First, the HYPE token gained significant exposure and accessibility through its listing on the popular U.S. trading platform Robinhood, likely contributing to the surge in trading volume and retail interest. Second, and potentially more impactful, is the corporate development from Hyperliquid Strategies, the entity behind the decentralized exchange.

Hyperliquid Strategies has submitted a formal S-1 filing to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), a key step toward a public offering. The filing reveals plans to raise up to $1 billion through the public sale of 160 million shares. Chardan Capital Markets has been appointed as the financial advisor for this significant offering. This move to enter the public markets, coupled with reported strong growth in blockchain usage and token repurchases throughout the year, signals a maturation of the Hyperliquid platform and a strategic expansion of its reach beyond the crypto-native sphere.
