The Hyperliquid ecosystem has been on fire, and the token HYPE had an all-time peak price of $37.44 with soaring trading volumes and an eventual rise of interest in the derivatives market.
At the time of writing, HYPE was last traded for $34.52, with the price having fallen by 4.11% within a day. However, it still remains in bullish territory, for the eyes of investors are now aligned to the highly anticipated $50 mark.
Moving one step further with price momentum comes the buildup of open interest that reached $1.16 billion as reported by CoinGlass. This is considered a big breakout, taking note of historical statistics provided by CoinGlass: few months ago, the open interest could barely stay under $600 million. The sudden surge in volume in derivatives shows increasing trader confidence and speculative interest and consequently a hint of sustained volatility and upward trajectory in the forthcoming weeks.
Technical Setup: Bullish Breakout Meets Overbought Signals
Zooming into the hourly charts, altcoin has been making textbook breakout moves. After a couple of weeks of consolidation in the $10-$11 zone, the price began to steadily rise and decisively broke out of the $28 resistance zone with strong bullish volume. This zone now stands as a strong support level, further asserting the continuing uptrend.
However, short term caution may be warranted here since the Relative Strength Index stands at 81, a solid overbought scenario. That generally means a pullback or cooling period is likely once traders start cashing in profits. But then again, remember, high RSI levels quite often are accompanied by strong bullish phases, so this means buyers are still in command—or at least for now.

$50 Price Target: Is HYPE Set to Rally Further?
The next major resistance for HYPE is the psychological $50 mark, with technicals and fundamentals set in harmony. A breach beyond the $50 mark may lead to price discovery and, finally, institutional interest. If momentum can keep up with an increase in trading volume, the coin stands to gain about another 45% within a short-to-mid-term period.
Furthermore, now that HYPE market cap has promoted itself to above $12.5 billion, it stands alongside some of the best-performing altcoins in the month. The more that investors and speculators flock to the Hyperliquid ecosystem, the more strength a sustained rally stands to gain.
