Hyperliquid’s native token, HYPE, extended its rally on Thursday, jumping over 8% to trade near $58.77. The move comes after rebounding from its earlier record of $57.40 and places the token just shy of the crucial $60 psychological barrier.
Driving this surge is the successful integration of USDC and Circle’s Cross-Chain Transfer Protocol (CCTP V2), now live on Hyperliquid’s Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM).
The upgrade enhances liquidity and security across HyperCore and HyperEVM applications, facilitating faster and smoother deposits for DeFi users. Analysts suggest this milestone could attract institutional traders, boosting HYPE’s long-term adoption.
Record Revenue Strengthens Investor Confidence
Beyond price action, Hyperliquid’s fundamentals are equally impressive. According to Artemis Terminal, the network generated $2.5 million in fees in a single day, surpassing industry leaders like Ethereum and Solana.
A Reflexivity Research report confirmed that Q3 was Hyperliquid’s strongest quarter yet, with total fees reaching $250.45 million, net income to token holders amounting to $243.59 million, and a team size of just 11 members.
This lean but high-performing setup has fueled optimism that Hyperliquid can continue scaling without losing efficiency. Combined with staking incentives and growing exchange listings, many traders see HYPE as one of the most promising tokens in the current market.
Hyperliquid (HYPE)’s Wedge Pattern Raises Caution
Despite strong fundamentals, technical analysis suggests caution. On the two-hour chart, HYPE touched $59.36, testing the upper boundary of a rising wedge formation, a pattern often associated with weakening momentum.
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is nearing overbought levels, with bearish divergence forming as price makes new highs without matching momentum. Analysts warn that a rejection at $59.36 could trigger pullbacks to $55 support, with deeper downside targets at $52–$48 if selling pressure builds.

However, if bulls defend support and confirm strength with a bullish engulfing candle, HYPE could rebound toward $60 and beyond, potentially aligning with Polymarket traders who forecast short-term moves toward $70.
For now, the line in the sand remains at $59.36. Whether Hyperliquid breaks higher or faces a wedge breakdown will determine if HYPE’s new all-time high transforms into sustained momentum, or just a temporary peak.
