$72 HYPE, are you chasing it?

First look at the market: HYPE is currently staging the strongest "decoupling performance" of 2026.

BTC is struggling around 66,000, ETH has fallen below 1900, but it has independently surged 28%, up 62% in a month, 229% in half a year, with a market cap reaching 18.5 billion, breaking into the top 10. Yesterday it hit a new high of 76.9, today it slightly retraced to 72, with 24-hour trading volume of 1.5-2 billion USD.

Others are waiting for the wind, but it itself is a typhoon eye.

First thing: institutions are treating it as "the next SOL" to grab

Since the launch of the spot ETFs by Bitwise and 21Shares in May, they have accumulated net inflows of 150-170 million USD, with a single-day high of 17 million, outperforming BTC and ETH ETFs in stages. AUM rapidly expanded to over 200 million.

In traditional finance eyes, Hyperliquid is the "gold standard of on-chain order books"—self-built L1, HyperBFT consensus, CEX-level experience + decentralized settlement, no rivals in this track.

Second thing: Arthur Hayes bought in, shorts exploded

On-chain data confirmed yesterday: Arthur Hayes-related wallet bought 3.16 million USD worth of HYPE, directly triggering 11 million USD in short liquidations. A classic "big shot gets in + shorts explode in succession" combo.

CZ also publicly praised, "Hyperliquid is impressive." Such recognition, in other projects, would be enough to hype for a year; for HYPE, it's just icing on the cake.

Third thing: but don’t forget, today is the FOMC meeting

The Federal Reserve is meeting today, with new Chair Warsh making his first appearance. Market expects interest rates to stay at 3.5%-3.75%, but inflation remains sticky at 3-4%, and the dot plot is likely to be hawkish.

BTC is now fluctuating around 65,000-66,000. If Warsh signals any "no rate cuts this year," risk assets will come under pressure across the board. Although HYPE has decoupled, it can’t be immune to the overall market forever.

Bull-bear showdown, see for yourself

One side:

Spot ETF attracting 170 million, institutional allocation accelerating

Arthur Hayes + CZ endorsing, top-tier traffic support

Buyback burns continue to deflate, real income support

+7% in 7 days, +62% in a month, independent bull market

Other side:

Today’s FOMC, hawkish risks

Profit-taking after ATH, short-term selling pressure

FDV reaching 70 billion, unlocking pressure hanging overhead

If BTC drops below 65,000, HYPE will find it hard to stay immune

Key levels:

Resistance: 76.9 (ATH) → 80 (psychological barrier) → 90-100 (ultimate bullish target)

Support: 70-72 (current demand zone) → 65-66 (strong support, bullish lifeline) → 52-55 (deep correction zone)

Main trend (mainstream positions):

Accumulation zone: 68-72, buy in batches, add on 65-66

First target: 80 (short-term)

Mid-term target: 90-100

Stop-loss: If it effectively breaks below 65, must exit, no hesitation

Position: total 5-15%, do not go all-in

Short-term swing:

Break above 77 to chase longs, stop loss at 74

During high volatility, take profits in batches, don’t be greedy

Risk hedging:

Today focus on the FOMC statement, if hawkish surprises, halve positions

Break below 65, watch and wait, re-enter at 55-60

Single trade risk no more than 1-2% of total funds

HYPE now is like SOL in 2021—

Everyone is asking, "Can I buy after it’s already gone up so much?" then it rose from 30 to 200.

The most painful thing in a bull market isn’t losing money, it’s watching others make #我的Gate交易时刻 money while you never got in.
