HYPE, the price ticker often used for the Hyperliquid ecosystem token (HYPE), 
has been under pressure in recent sessions as broader market weakness 
intersects with profit-taking and technical sell signals. Related Reading: 
Bitcoin Giant Awakens: 2,043 BTC Moved After 7-Year Slumber While on-chain 
activity and exchange metrics point to growing market share for the 
Hyperliquid decentralized exchange (DEX), the token’s price has dipped toward

As of the latest data, Hyperliquid (HYPE) is trading around $28.6, down from 
recent highs and roughly 51% below its all-time peak recorded in September 
2025. The 24-hour trading volume remains elevated at over $285 million, 
suggesting active participation even amid the decline. In the short term, 
technical indicators have shown bearish momentum, with resistance forming 
above current levels and support zones near $24–$26, making this range a focus 
for traders gauging near-term risk. Investors have pointed to leverage flushes 
and large position liquidations as catalysts for downward pressure in recent 
sessions. Earlier reports flagged concentrated selling from leveraged casts 
that sent ripples through perp markets, contributing to price swings across 
derivatives tokens, including HYPE. DEX Growth and Exchange Share Gains 
Despite price softness, fundamental usage metrics for the Hyperliquid protocol 
tell a different story. Across 2025, Hyperliquid’s notional trading volume 
reached approximately $2.6 trillion, nearly double the $1.4 trillion processed 
by Coinbase, one of the largest centralized exchanges, according to analytics 
firm Artemis. The significant growth in the trading volume suggests that 
traders are increasingly allocating activity to on-chain venues, particularly 
those offering decentralized perpetual futures. Further supporting this trend, 
Hyperliquid’s permissionless perpetual markets (HIP-3) recorded a $5.2 billion 
daily trading volume, driven in large part by precious metal contracts such as 
silver. What’s Next for Hyperliquid’s Support Levels? The juxtaposition of 
strong underlying volume and a weakening token price underscores the 
complexity of the current selloff. If selling pressure persists, the $25–$26 
zone will be critical to watch; a breach could expose lower support near $22. 
Conversely, stabilization above this range could shift sentiment toward 
accumulation, especially if broader market conditions improve. Related
