What Is Retail Saying About Hype?

One user on Stocktwits accurately predicted that HYPE’s price was poised to break past the $30 resistance mark. According to them, this opens the door to more upside ahead, with the next resistance marker at $36.

Another opined that a “supply shock” is coming, which may also lift HYPE’s price. A supply shock usually occurs when the tradable supply suddenly shrinks versus demand.

What Is The HYPE Crypto Token?

HYPE is the native cryptocurrency of the Hyperliquid decentralized perpetual futures exchange. According to data on DefiLlama, Hyperliquid is the largest chain by perpetual volume over the past month. It saw over $170 billion traded in the last 30 days, followed by Lighter (LIT), which saw $111 billion traded.

Hyperliquid’s order book is fully on-chain, which is rare for decentralized exchanges and reduces off-chain risks.

The overall cryptocurrency market gained 1.2% in the last 24 hours, steady at a valuation of $3.1 trillion.

Retail sentiment around Bitcoin on Stocktwits dipped to ‘extremely bearish’ from ‘bearish’ territory over the past day.
