$HYPE ‌
HYPE has completely changed its market structure during August, and that is what makes it one of the most interesting tokens to watch right now. At the beginning of the month, HYPE was trading around $52.17 on August 1, and the early sessions were clearly unstable. The price briefly moved down toward $51.60, and August 1 closed around $52.17. From there, buyers started defending the $51–$52 area, while the first recovery pushed HYPE toward $54–$57. By August 5, HYPE closed around $56.94, representing roughly a 9% recovery from the August 1 close.

But the first half of August was still not a straight bullish move. HYPE repeatedly faced selling pressure around the $57–$58 region. On August 6, it reached around $57.20 before closing at $56.19, and on August 7 it fell sharply to a close near $54.14, with an intraday low around $53.72. That was an important bearish phase because it showed that sellers were still active above $57. HYPE then recovered again, but August 9 brought another decline of roughly 2.2%, followed by a recovery toward $57.46 on August 13.

The real change came after August 18. HYPE had been moving around the $56–$60 range, but on August 19 the market suddenly accelerated. HYPE opened near $59.41, reached approximately $61.88, and closed around $61.87. Then August 20 produced the major breakout: the price opened near $61.86, pushed as high as $74.55, and closed around $73.25. That single session represented roughly a 18.4% gain from the open, and it completely changed the short-term momentum.

The momentum continued on August 21 and August 22. HYPE moved above $75 and reached approximately $82.58 on August 22 before closing around $77.39. By August 23, the price was around $79.07, meaning HYPE had risen from approximately $52.17 at the beginning of August to about $79.07 — roughly +51.6% for the month based on those closes. The move from the August 18 close near $58.61 to the August 23 close near $79.07 was even more dramatic, around +35% in only five days.

This is why the current structure looks very different from the beginning of the month. The market first defended $51–$52, then reclaimed $55–$57, established higher levels around $59–$62, and finally exploded through $70. For me, the most important confirmation was the move above $70 because it transformed an ordinary recovery into a much stronger bullish momentum phase.

There is also a fundamental reason why the move deserves attention. Recent reporting says Hyperliquid generated approximately $6.5 million in fees over a 24-hour period, while HYPE reached a new all-time high around $82.43. That combination of strong ecosystem activity and price discovery gives the current move more substance than a simple technical bounce.

At the same time, I would be careful about chasing HYPE after such a rapid move. A token that rises from roughly $58.61 to above $82 in only a few sessions can easily experience profit-taking. The first area I would watch is $75–$73. If that zone holds after a pullback, the bullish structure remains much healthier. Below $70, momentum would start weakening, while a deeper move toward $65–$62 would indicate that the market needs to rebuild before attempting another breakout.

If buyers manage to keep HYPE above $75 and price successfully breaks and holds above the recent $82–$83 all-time-high zone, the next psychological objective becomes $85. From $79.07, that would be approximately +7.5%. A clean move through $85 could then open the way toward $95, which would represent approximately +20% from the current $79.07 area.

Beyond that, $100 becomes the major psychological target. Reaching $100 from around $79.07 would require approximately +26.5%. If HYPE enters genuine price discovery and the broader crypto market remains strongly bullish, I would also keep $105 as an extended upside level, representing roughly +32.8% from $79.07.

So the three levels that stand out most to me now are $85, $95 and $100–$105. But I would not treat these as guaranteed destinations. The price needs to prove each level by converting resistance into support.

On the downside, $75–$73 is the first area I would monitor closely. If buyers defend it, the recent breakout can remain intact. A loss of $70 would make me more cautious, and a deeper breakdown below $62–$60 would significantly weaken the bullish structure that developed during the second half of August. The original $51–$52 region remains the major monthly support zone, but after such a strong rally, I would expect the market to find intermediate support well above that level if the bullish trend is genuinely sustainable.

My overall opinion on HYPE has therefore shifted from bearish/neutral at the beginning of August to clearly bullish now, but with one major warning: the speed of this rally has increased short-term volatility. I would rather see HYPE consolidate above $75 and then break $82–$83 with confirmation than simply chase the price after a vertical move.

The August story is impressive: approximately $52.17 → $79.07, around +51.6%, with the strongest acceleration occurring after August 18. The market has moved from defending support to entering price discovery, and now the next test is whether HYPE can establish the previous ATH area as support.

For me, $82–$83 is the breakout gate, $75–$73 is the first important support, $70 is the momentum line, and $85 → $95 → $100–$105 are the major upside areas to watch. If buyers continue controlling the structure, HYPE could remain one of the strongest momentum stories in the market; if the breakout fails and price loses $70, I would become much more defensive and wait for a cleaner setup.

This is my personal market view for the Gate Stack Challenge, based on August price action, momentum and current market structure, not financial advice.
