HYPE’s on-chain and derivatives data show early signs of recovery

CryptoQuant’s summary data supports the positive outlook, as HYPE’s spot and futures markets show large whale orders and less retail activity, signaling a potential recovery ahead.

Apart from whale accumulation, derivatives data also support a recovery rally for Hyperliquid. Coinglass’s OI-Weighted Funding Rate data shows that the number of traders betting that the price of HYPE will slide further is lower than those anticipating a price increase.

The metric has flipped to a positive rate, standing at 0.0090% on Wednesday, indicating that longs are paying shorts. Historically, as shown in the chart below, when the funding rates have flipped from negative to positive, Hyperliquid’s price has rallied sharply.

Hyperliquid Price Forecast: HYPE finds support around a key level

Hyperliquid price faced rejection around the daily resistance level at $51.15 on October 30 and declined 19% in the next six days, retesting the daily support level at $36.51 on Tuesday. This daily level at $36.51 roughly coincides with the 200-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) at $38.69 and the previously broken descending trendline, making it a key support zone to watch. At the time of writing on Wednesday, HYPE trades slightly above $40.

If HYPE continues its recovery, it could extend the rally toward the daily resistance level at $51.15.

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) on the daily chart reads 45, pointing upward toward the neutral level of 50, indicating early signs of fading bearish momentum. However, for the recovery rally to be sustained, the RSI must move above the neutral level.

However, if HYPE faces a correction and closes below $36.51 daily support, it could extend the decline toward the next support level at $30.92.
