Hyperliquid (HYPE), the decentralized perpetual trading platform and Layer 1 blockchain, stabilizes around the $37 mark on Tuesday after hitting a new all-time high of $39.96 the previous day. HYPE’s on-chain data supports the price rally as its Open Interest (OI), Total Value Locked (TVL) and stablecoin market capitalization reach record highs. Meanwhile, the price action points to price discovery mode, targeting the $46 mark.

HYPE on-chain metrics hit record level

Coinglass’ data shows that the futures’ OI in HYPE at exchanges rose from $914 million on May 21 to $1.43 billion on Tuesday, a new all-time high (ATH). An increasing OI represents new or additional money entering the market and new buying, which could fuel the current rally in Hyperliquid’s price.

Hyperliquid Price Forecast: HYPE enters price discovery mode

Hyperliquid reached a new all-time high of $39.96 during the early trading session on Monday but corrected slightly by the end of the day. At the time of writing on Tuesday, HYPE stabilizes at around $37.

If HYPE continues its upward trend, it could extend the rally to $46.35, the 141.40% Fibonacci extension drawn from the December high of $35.51 to the April low of $9.32.

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) on the daily chart reads 77, above its overbought level of 70, indicating strong bullish momentum. However, traders should be cautious as the chances of a pullback are high when overbought levels are reached. 

The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicator showed a bullish crossover last week. It also shows rising green histogram bars above the neutral level, suggesting the continuation of an upward trend.
