Hyperliquid (HYPE), the native token of the fast-growing decentralized exchange, has been under pressure over the past month, sliding nearly 27% amid broader weakness across the altcoin market. However, recent price action suggests that bearish momentum may be easing. HYPE has turned green today with modest gains, but more importantly, its technical structure is flashing early signs of a potential bullish continuation.

After weeks of consolidation, the token appears to be transitioning from a corrective phase into a possible expansion move, supported by improving market sentiment and a clear breakout on lower timeframes.
Ascending Triangle Breakout
On the 4-hour chart, HYPE had been trading within a well-defined ascending triangle pattern — a bullish structure characterized by higher lows pressing against a flat resistance level. Throughout this consolidation phase, sellers repeatedly defended the $25.66 region, while buyers continued to step in at progressively higher prices, tightening the price range.
That standoff has now resolved to the upside. Bulls successfully pushed HYPE above the $25.66 resistance, triggering a confirmed breakout and driving price toward a local high near $26.43. This move marks a clear shift in short-term momentum and suggests growing confidence among buyers after an extended period of uncertainty.

The breakout also aligns with the rising trendline support that has guided price higher since the recent swing low, further strengthening the bullish case.
What’s Next for HYPE?
Following a breakout of this nature, a brief pause or pullback is often healthy. In HYPE’s case, the $25.48–$25.66 zone now becomes a key area to watch. A controlled retest of this region — followed by a strong reaction higher — would confirm the former resistance as new support and reinforce the bullish structure.
If that scenario plays out, the chart points toward a potential upside move toward the $29.10 region. This target represents roughly a 12% upside from current levels and aligns with the projected measured move of the ascending triangle.
On the downside, failure to hold above the breakout zone could weaken the bullish outlook. A drop back below the former resistance or a loss of trendline support may expose HYPE to renewed selling pressure, potentially leading to a deeper consolidation before any fresh attempt higher.
For now, the breakout remains intact, and as long as buyers defend the newly reclaimed levels, HYPE appears positioned for a continued recovery move in the sessions ahead.
